Wasn’t really paying close attention to the dimensions when I bought what I thought was just a slightly nicer light stand for my rig... ended up with this diesel thing.
I guess on the plus side it’s real sturdy and will get up real high above the chompers. Also plenty of space for other tapers to clamp on at festivals.
Am I stupid to think this bulky thing is worth keeping or should I just return it?
This is the stand https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LTS1--adj-lts-1-portable-lighting-tripod-stand-with-side-bars

14 pounds? I would return it and get that Photek stand everyone here has.

Is the photek much of an improvement over this one? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/89688-REG/General_Brand_LS_10AB_10_AC_Light_Stand.html
That’s what I already have, was looking for one a bit bulkier and taller

Supports 100 lbs? Just a little bit overkill.
I'll repeat my usual recommendation: Manfrotto 1004BAC (https://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-1004BAC-Master-Stand-Black/dp/B0023RRPE2/), and a STX lacrosse stick bag (https://www.amazon.com/STX-Essential-Womens-Stick-Bag/dp/B002BDI0D8)to carry it in.
