What is the load capacity of this stand? I'm using Bowens / Calumet Travelite 750's at 7.5 lbs. ea. Thanks.

Not sure exactly, but it is a super heavy duty stand. I suspect an easy 10 pounds and probably much more. I called the manufacturer about this prior to purchasing it and they were confident enough to say that it really only depends on the counterweight.

I've had an alien bees 800 with a beauty dish on it (thats about 6.5 lbs) with no problem.

As @totsubo said.. This should not be an issue. I use a Paul Buff White Lighting 1600 with 6' Octa with no problem. This thing is big and heavy duty. Not real portable though. I did find a bag for it. Look for the tote bag for EZ-UP shelters. It fits perfect. One last thing, I drilled out the hole for the tilt and replaced with the next size bolt (I think it is 5/8"). The smaller bolt did not really tighten down as much as I would like. I was getting a little sag until I changed the bolt.

It should easily handle 7.5 lbs, fully extended. You will just need to add a good counter weight. I filled the counter weight bag that comes with it with pennys. I have a light that weighs 5 lbs at the end of it, but it could easily hold more weight. Hope this information helps.

Hi, I have a pair of Boston Acoustics CR75 Bookshelf speakers which weigh about 12 lbs. each, and the stands are rock solid. I do computer repair; one customer of mine had these same stands in his studio with a pair of Rokit ~10" or so speakers (I'm not sure of the exact model/size but they were at least twice the size of mine) and seemed very stable. These are strong, sturdy stands IMO. Hope it helps, Dave

I use yamaha hs5's that way 12 lbs each and the stand holds them fine. If you have bigger speakers, they might not fit because the mount on top is very small. Also, there's no locking mechanism with the height adjustment. It's just a screw that wedges itself into a plastic/rubbery support, which might not do well with heavier weights. Long story short, if your speakers are smaller than 8" the stands are perfect.

I am sure a 65" isn't to heavy, just not made to have 5 inches hang over on each side. They make one for a 65". Buy the RIGHT stand!!

The construction is fairly sturdy but the base plate is not all that large (8" x 8"). We have a pair of KRK VXT4 monitors on our stands. They are 15 lbs each, and I would not want anyone to bump one as they are top heavy. The design could support up to 30 lbs but they would need to be well out of the way of traffic.

I'd say 2 to 3 pounds per stand, they are all metal, worth it in my opinion

My NHT SuperOnes are about 15 pounds each and the stands handle that weight fine. Much more, though, and you'd better make sure of your floor, or use the spikes.

I own a pair of JBL Monitors that weigh upwards of 25 lb each and they are on old "wooden stands", since my purchase of the Seismic stands I put a pair of Alesis monitors on them and they seem too light for the stands. Go ahead and load them down I'm sure they can handle at least 50 lbs. I use isolation pads under them also and it helps with any vibration noise experienced with high volumes.

Look for a heavy duty light stand. Buy one with a wide footprint. I think mine are cowboy studio. Many companies sell identical stands. For safety use a sandbag on the legs.

I don't recall seeing any weight limit when I ordered it and it is a very sturdy stand, but I would ask the sellers this question to be sure, if you have reasons to be concerned.

The stand that I have is approximately 8 pounds. The heavier the stand, the better.

Per Sanus catalog, the weight capacity of the NF series stands is 25 lbs. Hope this info helps.

It guess that begs the question "how heavy?" I have actually had two 300-page fake books on mine at the same time and have had no problem. It's really a great stand and an excellent value.

This is a very sturdy and well built bike stand..., but 60 lbs. may be pushing it a little. I have bikes weighing from 17 lbs. up to about 30 lbs., and it handles them just fine.

like any item you have a max. my speakers weigh about 18lbs and all is good with the stands.
