Very light, robust and easy to use. I just got the same for Manfrotto decided (instead Wallimex etc.) because this brand has a decade had only good experience. The stand is very compact, can be clicked together with another and is very space-saving (at best the special bag for it by Manfrotto) housed in the pocket. Use two stands each with a Manfrotto Neiger and a Lastolite umbrella along with the Nikon Einsteckblitzen. Slightly larger investment (compared with competitor güstigeren) worth in such quality. Am very satisfied, would buy the stand every time again!
