[QUOTE="FastGlass, post: 381090, member: 13822"] When I got my strobes I was surprised how heavy they were. I was concerned when they were mounted atop a 7' stand with a softbox attached. Less of a concern if using them inside and even less a concern when using speedlights instead. Of course using sand bags to help stabilize them is a huge help. When I increased the possibilities by getting a boom arm for hair light setups, I purchased c-stands because of all the positive responses I received on them. What a huge difference. Yes there heavy but there built like a tank. Do you need c-stands? Probably not but if your thinking on getting into portraits or the like and want your gear to be around a while, there worth looking into. The stands that came with my strobes are air cushioned so when dropping down the stands with strobes on them, it helps to keep them from slamming down on your fingers. Do your homework. Good luck to whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
