Manfrotto stands really are the best.

I've got a set of 3x old 004 Master stands which I bought over 10 years ago and they are still going strong. But this new flat-folding design and air cushioning as standard is a real winner.

Not to mention Thomann offer these at £75 each which is amazing value.

I bought 2x 1004BAC and 2x 1005BAC stands. They clip together and fit in the Manfrotto 110 stand bag (bought elsewhere).
