Just right stand!
Perfect companion for travel. Fits in my luggage or attached to my carry on. Just the right height for most destination sessions. Light weight and the sturdiness you expect from cheetah stand.

I used it for two sessions and it fell over 15 times.
I broke my Godox AD400 on this stand after using it on 2 sessions. I also used 2 sandbags to hold t down, but it still fell over with the slightest bit of wind outside. I'm very disappointed. Maybe I should have ordered the heavy duty.
