Cardboard Engineering Activity Stand On Box

We use this product for a stationary imaging study of a rotating object (none of us are photographers). For this purpose, it works flawlessly in providing us with stable and repeatable camera positioning. Its heavy base and sturdy mast keep the camera still despite the harsh environment in which it's deployed. We found the stand easy to assemble (full disclosure: we're an engineering firm), even though several of the required fasteners were loose in the box. The assembly instructions left something to be desired, but again, we're an engineering firm and had no trouble. Our only REAL issue was the packaging the stand came in: a triple-walled cardboard box within a triple-walled cardboard box, both secured by monster staples. This was the biggest pain of the setup process. The product itself works exactly as advertised.

This stand is great. It folks out nicely with that quick detach handle and holds up a cardboard box with my dads old undershirt wrapped around it that I've been using as a lightbox for the past couple years. It is really ridiculously heavy, but you'll still need something or someone to hold it down because the power of mother natures wind will take it for a ride with a box on it.

I was looking to replace the cardboard box i have been using this summer and this stand is perfect. Small enough to disappear on my desk. strong enough to stay in place. The adjustments are easy and hold my laptop at the right level for Video conference calls. Not the cheapest but worth what I paid for it.

I was very impressed with this piece of German engineering from the moment I opened the box. Mom wanted this stand to copy all of the old photos, and it is very capable and sturdy. The crank raises and lowers the camera very smoothly, and the camera is very secure on the mount. The stand comes in a wonderful hard case for storage. The setup is easy and intuitive, just like a fine Mercedes. I think the value for price is fantastic!

Perfect for carrying the beauty dish - much better than using the cardboard box. :)

Nice case to replace your cardboard box! For the price it's great

We were able to get about 1,380 slides in ours - standard cardboard mounts. Good sturdy box.

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

Fine film---as always. Arrived in a battered cardboard box half broken open---probably the shipper's fault.

Got this for my Benq W1100 projector. Cardboard box was wearing out, and needed something stronger.
