I am thinking to get two light stands for my flashes and the pop up 16" softbox, I see them in Mideast photo ex. Looks like a good price, but I have no way of telling if they are good/stable enough or not..

Anyone review theirs?

Here is the list btw: http://www.mpex.com/browse.cfm/4,11667.html

Have you messed with lightstands much? I'm just getting started, and got a 13' Savage cheapie. A mistake as a starter model; it's built to hold something much heavier than a hot-shoe flash, and is thus a monster compared to the rest of my camera kit.

Point is, I doubt almost any standard light stand will even notice the flash on top of it.

awaiting anybodies answer - have been looking at this myself today - haven't been able to find much info on them.

Just letting you know that the conclusion of my research was to either go for the LumoPro LP604 5-Section 6ft Stand or the LumoPro 8' Black A/C Stand.

People seem to refer to Interfit as being a cheap brand.

I've got a pair of the Interfits. Bought them 18mos ago when I got my first strobist stuff from MPEX. They're certainly good enough for shoe flash work.

Just keep in mind they ARE Lightweight stands; don't expect them to stay upright extended with a monoblock and softbox.

I bought a pair at a closing Ritz camera. I have the 750 model, not the 751 in your link. They work well for what I'm using them for.

I bought these to use on the stands:
Softbox for Speedlight Flashlight Portable Flash Stand - US $40 free shipping

Same idea but more expensive at US $154

Ebay version doesn't have the inner diffuser and is a little smaller at 20x20 inch verses 24x24 inches, but does come with the ball head attachment that is not included in this version.

I also have one of these:
Flashpoint SoftBox, Fluorescent Light Unit w/AC Plug US $55 + Shipping

Thank you

Russell, that's look almost the same as the one I am using. I got mine with a friend went to HK for vacation.it has the inner diffuser and the ball head mount to light stand. for $40 Can.

So I guess the lightstands will do the job then thanks everyone.
