Comparison Of Different Studio Monitor Stands

I just finished setting up my home studio and these stands definitely are worth the money! If you are looking for studio monitor stands, Pyle is the way to go!!!

The pair of studio monitor stands are quite sturdy and the price was well positioned. A very good value. I like the variation in height capability.

I'm pleased with my purchase of the Auray LMS-335 studio monitor stands. The assembly directions could have been a bit clearer, and the small print required me to use a magnify glass, but once assembled, I could not be happier with this purchase.

It only took a few minutes to assemble and position these stands. I use them for my computer's M-AUDIO studio monitor speakers. Since I installed the stands, I've been wondering why I didn't buy them sooner. The sound is so much better having the speakers at the right height.

C-Stands are great, but these are more useful in a studio environment.

I have several of the OCF modifiers and really like them although the quality is much better with RFI. If you are looking for on location OCF may be a better option but for in studio there is no comparison to RFI when it comes to quality.

I use this when recording bands in my studio... It has been great in comparison to my Sony brand batteries as well. It is very nice to not worry about running low on voltage when filming!!

We are a small studio and have 4 Avenger C stands and they are most always working for us.

I photograph roller derby. I set up lights around the track and leave them. When I do that, I need to worry about people walking into the stands. With the legs flat on the floor, I can tape the legs down and not worry about them getting knocked down. Wobble comparison: I also have a Phottix p200 stand. Compared to this stand, that one is super wobbly. To compare, I put an AD200 on top of each stand and tapped the stands. The Matthews stand stopped wobbling in about 10 seconds, the P200 was still wobbling 30 seconds later. Height: I don't know where they get the 7 ft specification. You can make this stand higher than that, but if you set the legs to be flat on the floor, the stand goes to 73 inches high. By comparison, the p200 is 71 inches high. I'm still not totally sold on them, though. I'm used to a 12 foot stand, and 6 feet is pretty short -- I'll be trying out the baby stand extension. That might not work well on the wobblier stands, but should be fine on this one.

I bought this to upgrade from my typical cheap light stands. There is no comparison, this c-stand is very heavy, sturdy and just makes sense when trying to position the light directly above me as I'm shooting. I bought it to keep in the studio so it's not a big deal that it's heavy and not very portable for my strength.
