Neewer vs Flashpoint - Heavy Duty C-Stand - Comparison 

Thank you three years later still an awesome video

I just bought the Neewer c stand from Amazon. Couple of observations from mine... 1) My Neewer has the exact same "notched" legs as your Flashpoint. 2) Yes, my threads all have some surface rust as well. This is probably caused by the moisture from the milling process but isn't a big deal to me. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for making this video! I saw it a couple of days ago when I needed to purchase a c-stand for a project. While I wanted to go with the Flashpoint stand for the sturdy spring, the grooves on the legs, and the extra pin - the shipping was going to take longer than I hoped, so I ended up purchasing the Neewer stand instead. That being said, my Neewer stand came in the mail today and I've been pretty impressed with the build quality. No wobbles or rust and it feels pretty strong. I was also surprised that mine HAD grooves on the legs! The three downsides on the Neewer stand: - It cost me about $20 more, but I got free one day shipping with Amazon Prime - The spring isn't smooth and is a little violent - Unlike the Flashpoint, it didn't come with the extra pin. It's no big deal right now - but I imagine that might be useful down the road.

Thanks Tristan for your detailed review. I like how you go into details cuz I'm a details kind of guy myself...too many other reviewers don't even bother. I will go with the Flashpoint model!

I really appreciate this video, i went a ahead and ordered the flashpoint from Adorama after watching.

Thank's so much really helped, going to order the Flashpoint!!

Just the comparison I was looking for. Had the Neewer on the wishlist for a while but the Flashpoint ones are currently on sale for $99, so it's a no brainer. Thanks :)

I just got the flashpoints :) thanks for making up my mind !

Thanks for making this video, if I do choose to go with c stands I know which one to buy :)🙌

Thanks for your time and this well explained video

Solid man. Appreciate this. Getting the flashpoint bc of this video

Thank you for this comparison video, I've been looking for this for a while. The flashpoint weights 23 pounds and the Neewer is 12.7 pounds, maybe that's why the flashpoint is more sturdy.

Exactly what I needed to make my decision. Thanks!

Thanks for your video! I’ve had already bought the neewer ones, but I was lucky enough to been able to cancel them after watching your video. Then I tried to buy the flashpoint ones, but they don’t ship to Spain, so I ended up buying one Avenger kit in Thomann for a little more of the price of these two 🤣🤣🤣, what an adventure! Now, there is no option than recover the investment.

Thank you so much for the review! Really helping

Thanks for the video! I needed some information to decide to buy a kit in adorama that includes the Flashpoint C-Stand! Now I am more than decided. You can't want more for such an affordable price stand!

Thanks for this video , was searching it badly. Can it hold aputer 300dii with soft box? either one? I don't see the arm too long though ? If this will work ill buy it if not can you suggest in my situation ?

this was super helpful! thank you!

Very informative! Thanks man, was just looking at C stands on Adorama today. The little differences you point out are really valuable to peeps making purchase decisions.

Good video. Great detail information. Thank you for making and sharing it.

What springs do you get to put in the knuckles of the flashpoint?

Cheers mate appreciate your detailed information. Helps the community 👍

Thank you, seriously, thank you for this comparison.

Do any of these on the threaded end of the arm have a flat edge? I saw on Cheetahstand they had something like that and I like that idea when mounting a light it doesn’t end up spinning

Thank you for that!

Really helpful, man. Thanks.

Great comparison.

Great Video. Thanks

Thank you so much! Now, how about another video showing us how to attach our equipment to the c stand (sorry, I'm a newbie to c-stands).

Спасибо. Ты старался.

I need a C-Stand for my Steadicam dock, my old one broke and I need one quick - would these be strong enough for that?

Nice video but I am new and need to know how to use these stands. I have never used a C-Stand

This is very helpful. Thank you. Love the cameos by your Tuxedo Cat!!

You should be able to adjust the legs a bit so they are easier to close. I just got a new flashpoint c-stand and it doesn't require as much force. Also, the stability on the flashpoint is likely due to the way they have the bottom mounting pin inside the main metal tube. The flashpoint is tight inside with a single roll pin holding it together and the newer looks to have a bunch of rivets. Last point to note is the flashpoint has large rubber O-rings in addition to the springs in the main body where the newer does not. There is never metal to metal contact on the main clamps.

Seems like the Flashpoint legs weren't closing easily. Would this be a problem if you have to constantly pack it away and put it in a closet? I need something sturdy enough to mount a camera in a horizontal position for overhead shots, but I'm unsure if a C-stand would be too bulky for my needs...

Awesome thanks!

Good video. Does the Flashpoint head grips can be mounted on the Neewer C-Stand?

Is the cat included?.

What about the Neewer vs Avenger C-stand? I mean, i would think the Avenger is better(?) because cost twice the neewer, but maybe the Neewer can stand the quality/price battle?

Now does one of them come with a cute kitty cat ? Dents ,they put them in so they look wore. kinda like buying jeans that are already tore lol . I love this guy .Tristan you are so thorough in your review. Great job .Glad I ordered my Flashpoint just now.

I got my flashpoint at amazon

I cannot STAND (yes pun intended) when people do a review or comparison with two types of brand and only to say you can't go wrong with both, both are good. No one is better than the other that's the point of reviews and comparison.

What/how is the threading on the bottom of the Neewer base used for?

weird, the Neewer has way more glowing reviews.

Ill take the rusty one...........NOT! This man.

awkward at 11:32 🤣

your not fooling anyone jesse pinkman

i think adorama and neewer both using chinese stuff one is visico mostly neewer use it and flashpoint use godox they just changed the names ofcourse for marketing;) u can see flash triggers and flashes aswell..

I'm throwing out all my tripod light stands they are cheap garbage that came with light kits time to embrace C stands
