Title: Failing umbrella mount
Review: I have owned this product since 2009 for use with my canon speedlights and I have begun to notice a number of the threaded screws that keep certain parts of the stand tight, simply do not work anymore. This is especially evident in the umbrella mount, I'm guessing the thread is "shot" internally (its plastic). Additionally, when folding or unfolding the stand, the springs now seem to stick and are tough to open.When everything worked properly (brand new), the stand was exceptional. However, it did not take many uses to discover faults in the construction.This stand is very lightweight and I only use it indoors standing very close to my speedlight should it happen to fall over. Luckily I have never had this stand tip over on me.Overall, I'm disappointed, but the stand is very affordable.
