Do You Really Need Studio Monitors

DOES EXACTLY WHAT I NEED IT TO DO.

Really nice to have when putting studio monitors on a hard surface. They were a free add on to my purchase, but odds are I would have bought them anyway.

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

These are inexpensive, tough sand bags, just add your own sand. YOU DO NEED A SEWING MACHINE FOR THESE!!!! So much cheaper to order without sand and fill yourself through the 2 gap they leave un-sewn. You do need an extra-sturdy sewing machine and needle to get thru all the layers of material. I suggest using a plastic bag inside (thin garbage bag or similar) and filling the 'bag-with-in-a-bag' securing it with a knot or twist ties before sewing the nylon outside bag, so that your sand is somewhat waterproofed, if you ever intend to use them outside.

WILL USE FOR SMALL ITEMS THAT NEED PROTECTION I LIKE THE PRODUCT I DO NOT HAVE NOTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT THE ITEM

IT'S A MATTHEWS FLAG, 24 X 36''. DO YOU NEED TO BLOCK SOME LIGHT, MAKE A COURTESY, GET THAT FLARE OFF THE LENS, OR FAN SOME FOG? GET THIS!!! AGAIN, IT'S A MATTHEWS SO IT'S GONNA LAST, UNLESS YOU LEAVE IT ON SET, OR RUN OVER IT WITH A GRIP TRUCK. LOOKING FOR C STANDS, THIS IS STILL A FLAG, BUY SOME C STANDS!!!

I was stoked to add this Deck to my order. Do you NEED it for the cart? Maybe not, but I love that I can protect my cart, give a flat, hard surface that can let me hold thinner stands on the deck, it's a great detail to have in my kit!

Do you NEED a C stand? Then buy a C stand. They have benefits and versatility this doesn't quite have. Do you need a hefty and durable light stand with a boom arm on a budget? Then look no further because this is your stand. I got this to primarily use in my home with my Westcott FJ400 battery powered strobes and some medium to larger sized modifiers. That's some serious weight I'm lifting and extending across from out of frame. This holds it super sturdy without needing to worry. Yes I'm using the weight bag and if I'm REALLY extending the boom I'm using two, but that's standard fair even with C stands. The casters do need to be tightened extra tight if you plan on using them or they'll awkwardly spin out under the weight, but once I noticed that and tightened it again they didn't slip on me anymore.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] THIS IS A GOOD PRODUCT IT DOES WHAT WE NEED IT TO DO.

5 stars as an entry level tripod. If it is something you are only going to use a few times per year then this is the tripod for you.
