MagnetMod

its really convenient and easy to use. I love the simplicity of it and form factor. excellent addition to my gear

The stand is by far the best constructed and versatile stand on the market, buying another asap!

i bought two and now i’m buying two more i love them !!

This product is simply fantastic. Very stable even without sandbag, ruggedize, easy to use in many areas. Build to last and look perfect.

I bought two of the nine footers as a Kickstarter. And I gotta say that these lights stands do not disappoint at all. I shoot corporate Photography and I’m out multiple times a week doing head shots in firms. I stop bringing C stands with it just because they were so large and so heavy and I’ve been using Manfrotto light stands. But these MagMod light stands are a totally different level. Quick to deploy on site. The click stops are very solid. I was concerned that the feet wouldn’t be wide enough, but these are perfect. The two light stands click together better than anything I’ve ever had before for easier transportation. These are not compact, small light to as they are professional light stands built for use and abuse.

After reading all the reviews from those who had early access to the MagStand I was super-pumped to receive mine. It took 5 months for it to arrive after backing it on Kickstarter, and I have to say it was everything I expected/hoped it would be. Like other MagMod products it is thoughtfully designed and perfectly executed. For those of us who are into the design and capability of precision devices like digital cameras (i.e., everyone who would by a MagStand I guess), as well as other pieces of modern technology, the MagStand is a perfect example of how a common accessory can be improved through creative design and attention to detail. I think of it this way: the MagStand is a product that Apple would design if it was making products in this space. From its simple & time saving height adjustment mechanism to the ability to easily remove the center pole and use it as a boom, the MagStand addresses pain points in light stand usage that everyone has had, while also providing functionality that you didn't even know you needed or could have. Even the box that it is shipped in is sturdy, with foam blocks that surround the stand and prevent it from being damaged by outside impacts. And the materials and craftsmanship are so impressive - this thing is built to last. It's a little heavier than I expected but I see that not as a downside but rather an indication of the solid build quality. And the ability to easily vary the span between the legs is brilliant. If you're thinking about getting one just do it - it's everything it appears to be in the ads and reviews - and then some.

This stand is everything I wanted it to be. Not heavy or bulky, easy to set up, smooth extending pieces and has the capability to magnet attach to another stand (with a simple attachment system) I will absolutely getting a second one!

I received my Magstand 11Pro Kit and could not wait to use them. I did a family photo using them and the family loved them. I used one with a 65 inch umbrella and had no fear of the sturdiness. The adjustments are way easier and secure then my old stands. I cannot wait to disengage the center poles and use it as a boom. You know you have something good when a fellow photographer tells you that he has more than enough stands but after seeing these in person he has to have them.

Absolutely love these! Easy to use and set up!

I love this thing! I have used many light stands in my day but the MagStand is by far the fastest and easiest to deploy. No more twisting knobs to loosen or tighten. The built-in monopod is awesome! If I was going to design a light stand for myself, it would be this one. It is built like a tank and feels rock solid. It is well worth the investment.

Easy to get the stand open like the monopole also one step easy to handle

I been using/testing the 11 version and is awesome so easy to setup different stands (not necessarily yo need to setup the 90º legs) and still is super stable even on a light wind

Although I am not a heavy shooter yet, I used it few times and the overall impression is very good. Very sturdy construction, easy to use. A bit on the heavy side of the scale but considering how solid it feels, no complains about.
One thing I wish it had (probably was considered), some sort of air or spring cushion for when is loaded. I can see the challenges with a detachable center column even if I’m not an engineer. Just wish was possible. Would make it a bit safer under the load.

I’ve only used this to mount a teleprompter app on a 13 inch iPad Pro in its Zugu case as well as an IT32 pro, but this has really impressed me with its easy of adjustment and strength of the stand.

I admit, the box with my MagStad Pros (9 and 11) has been sitting unopened for about a month. Life, uh, finds a way to get in the way. (To mangle a famous quote.)

Unboxing from the shipping box revealed an impressive-looking box, with good-looking branding and packaging. The stands themselves were connected together in the box and secured with dense foam packaging that kept them secure and stable - no visible damage from shifting or settling in the box.

Pulling them out, I expected them to be heavy just from the look. They are not, or alt least not what I would consider noticeably heavy. You'd not want them in a backpack, but they are still easy to carry single-handedly. Opening the legs is butter-smooth, and the various leg-length/width indents engage with reassuring positivity. Extending and retracting the stand's segments is equally smooth.

If I have one wish, it's that they had a carry or storage bag, as I'm going to assume the finish will eventually get marred from travelling in the back of my Gladiator. I plan on a rigorous test of them this weekend at a shooting location for a bookseller event in Holland, MI.

Every neurodivergent creative’s dream stand that removes every complaint, large and small, you’ve ever had with a stand, and probably some you’ve never spent time thinking about. It has the heft and quality you want so it feels sturdy, without being too heavy. No annoying knobs that are too tight or not tight enough or get caught, but a beautiful telescoping and locking system that just MAKES SENSE and is easy to use. The monopole capability is so smart, it feels stupid that stands haven’t done this as well before. Adjusting the legs and height is so easy, it made me realize how frustrating other stands are now that those little obstacles have been removed from the working experience. It’s intuitive, ergonomic, and just SMART design. I got two 9 Pros pros that click together effortlessly, and I couldn’t be happier I took the leap to fund the Kickstarter. One of the best gear investments I’ve ever made! I look forward to using these with ease for years to come, and will be recommending them to all of my colleagues enthusiastically. If I could give the functionality 10 stars, I would.

There's always hype about a new product. There was a lot of hype about the MagMod stands. I'm happy to tell you they exceeded expectations in every way.
I knew they were different just from the exceptional packaging. Sounds dumb but it was impressive.
As a location shooter I was surprised and impressed about the ease of carrying them and how simple they are to operate. I shot a corporate portrait in an 8' wide cubicle with 2 stands barely open and they were very stable.
Every feature was very different than most stands. It's obvious these were designed for location photographers and I'll buy more of these. Taking them on the road for a 3 day shoot soon.

I shoot a lot both in the studio and in outdoor locations. I have tried a lot of different light stands, and the MagStand 11 Pro is the first one I have absolutely loved in both types of settings. The height at which I can put a large strobe with a big softbox allows me to do some very creative lighting setups, and I'm not worrying the whole time that my stand is going to tip over.

On top of the stability, the stand is very easy to use. The click for each setting is solid and being able to one-hand operate the height of the stand really helps out when shoots are moving at a fast pace.

There's not a better tripod style light stand that I have found, and I'll be ditching all my other tripod light stands in favor of additional MagStands. There's just nothing that's offering a better set of features and stability in the market than the MagStand series.

I already knew the design was great, but the I'm pleasantly surprised with how well made and solid this thing is built! It was so easy to use right out of the box that I used it at a shoot just a few hours after I received it and didn't have to think twice about how to set it up or break it down.

I have used two other brands of stands and this is by far the best. It's tight fitting legs insure no tangles with bag straps or stings going in our out. The intuitive and easy leg deployment insure set-ups are a breeze. height adjustment is also quick and intuitive. I love the main pole can be used separately as a handheld light pole as well.

I’ve used the MagMod Magstand 9ft stands at multiple weddings within the last two weeks and they perform just as the reviews say. So easy to open, close and extend. They make things so much easier.

Magmod nailed this one. Very well built, easy to set up and break down.
Adjusting height couldn’t be any better/easier.
Thank you Magmod you did it again.

I'm truly blown away by this product. How have we suffered through inferior design for so long? This stand hits so many pain points with perfect resolution. I've actually changed my professional workflow now because of the facility this new design affords. Thank you!
The one and only complaint I have is so overshadowed by the incredible usability of this stand that I'm not even deducting a star. I wish I could adjust the height with one hand. That's all.
