I'm looking for a couple of compact stand to carry around with me for on location shoots.
I need something with a minimal folded length and maximal extended length.
Most people recommend me the Manfrotto 5001b.
Does anyone have experience with Lowel light stands?
The Uni-To Light stands extends to 7.9'(2.4m) and folds to 21.5''(55cm).
How does it compare to the Manfrotto 5001b in terms of build. Any reasons to go for Manfrotto over Lowel?
