I own this kit and am enjoying it except for the stands. Does anyone know if I can obtain better replacement stands for these softboxes?

Yes, they are pretty standard tripod stands... Any other stands should work with these fixtures.

I felt the same way - ordered -3* Impact Air-Cushioned Heavy Duty Light Stand - Black, 9.5 feet (2.9m) thru amazonAm happy with the quality

this stand is almost like the other. a recomendation for used is put a sand bags betwen the legs of the stand for more stability

Mike C. These stands suck hard. Fortunately they are a pretty standard light stand. Look for any nicer stand and they should work.

Pretty much any commercial stand is better than the e-photos. I like my Avengers.

Yeah, the stands that come with the kit are pretty weak but I like the lights and the boxes. Fortunately I had a couple of 8 or 9' Impact stands. They're much better build quality and even have air cushioning. They even have a heavy duty version but I don't own any of those. If you replace them they may be fine whenever you need an extra stand for some light-weight rigging.

Agreed, any other light stand will work, and most are higher quality than these. Just today I pulled one of my sandbags off of the leg of one of these stands and because there is a sharp bolt protruding from one of the connections, it tore my cordura sand bag. Not a fan of these stands.

Yes you can. Simply get ahold of manufacturer and they'll mail you replacements for free. Great customer service. I broke mine on accident as well... it's the cheapest part of the stand unfortunately

if you go to S.R. Smith and use the board to stand guide it will list which product fits which stand. I also found this guide or a link to it on some of the pool suppliers that carry/represent S R Smith products. My specific stand needed a board with holes 12" apart and the replacement board by S R Smith was pre-drilled, came with new mounting hardware, and replaced my old board perfectly. My general impression was that it was all about which stand you have and which boards fit that exact stand. Once you get that figured out you're golden.

I bought the Sanus HTB3 Tear Drop Home Theater/Box Speaker Stands from Amazon, but they've been discontinued by the manufacturer. They work fine for me, so if there is a similar model, I would recommend them.

I bought the SANUS SYSTEMS BF-31B Wood Speaker Stands for the fronts and the backs. They work fine as along as you do not have any kids running around. The front speakers as you know are very top heavy. I bought some Quakehold! 88111 Museum Putty and put it in all 4 corners on the stands just for a little reassurance. So far everything is working well. The stand have spikes on the bottom and little felt pads which are nice additions. Let me know what you end up doing.

I tried to search for pictures of the speakers trying to see how they look from behind but i couldnt find any. If you want you can send me a picture of your speakers from the back and I'll compare them to the mounts/brackets and see if they will work. My email is fredward321@gmail.com

I had to buy those adjustable screw-down stands. You can get them cheap from ebay or harbor freight tools. Hope this helps. Be careful and good luck. : )

Wondering if you got this stand and if it worked with a Swingasan? We are looking into getting one but looking for a cheaper stand. Thanks!

Do you mind if I ask what kind of component stand you ordered. I have been looking around quite a bit. Did you fiind a good site?

David, I actually ordered this set as well as those very speaker stands. So if you can wait until Monday or Tuesday I will let you know if they mount correctly :)

Hey Bryan I bought the combo pack that was offered with the backdrop . When searching look below and see where it offers the clips and the stand and the backdrop altogether that's what I bought. The stand and the clips worked out perfectly with no issues and was very sturdy.hope that helps.

I've had this stand for several years now and if I remember correctly I might have come across that issue but luckily I had some nuts that actually got the bolts...I suggest u go to your local hardware store and find the nuts for them. It's much faster and the stand is worth it hope this helps

Did you ever a find a set of speaker stands that was a little more affordable?

I agree with all that responded. My stand has been great (50' TV) do know they can cause problems though. Be sure to use the proper screws, do not over tighten, you should be fine. AND I agree Sceptre customer service is fantastic! A+++ from personal experience.

If the the clutch doesn't hold the stand up, then it probably is broken or poorly assemble at the plant. You will probably want to return it. I have ten of these stands and I'm fortunate not to have received one with your problem. So, chances are, your replacement stand will work just fine.

No; the kit I bought contained attachments for the light box itself but not a stand.
