Well-made, very useful
At first usage, the slide is not exactly smooth, but after the cold shoe is in place, it feels very secure and not lose. The top hot shoe is a standard size and will fit most gear and the two on the sides are smaller in length. This stand is well made, the plastic feels solid and sturdy and is lightweight, can be placed on tripod or any flat surface, and will hold the weight. To be honest, I’m very happy to have it in my bag and and is quite useful. My lights setup is more compact and powerful when I’m using only one stand, I use colour LED lights on the sides to fill and bounce the colours and the Speedlight flash in the middle. I highly recommend this stand, is a great help in many lights setup situations, but not only, configurations are endless.

Video review: Works well as a camera flash stand but there’s only one full sized cold shoe slot.
The media could not be loaded. First thoughts:I was hoping to use this as an off-camera flash station where I could mount 2 flashguns and the wireless receiver. I didn’t realise that the other 2 cold shoe slots are only half size so a second flash wouldn't fit in properly.I’ve still managed to mount a flash in the front slot, use one at the side for the receiver and place the mount plate on a tripod near the subject.Detail and things to note (See pictures and video):Plastic mounting plate with 3 cold shoe slots. 1 at the front and 1 on the left and right sides towards the rear of the plate. As mentioned the 2 slots on the side are not full size.¼” screw thread on the underside for mounting.Final thoughts:Well I didn’t gain much of an advantage over the flashgun stand that was included with my flash but as this has these 2 smaller slots on the side then I will manage to attach the wireless flash receiver on there at the same time which I can't do with my current stand. The stand has fairly good stability against tipping forward when my flash is mounted. This works well for what it is and I’ll be attaching it to my tripod via the quick release plate.

Nice and solid
I have some of the normal little stands that come with some flashguns (like the Godox/Neewer flashes) and most of them feel a bit flimsy compared to this.This feels solid, sensibly weighty (it's not heavy, but it's heavy enough).And the best bit is that I can put up to three flashes on it and point them all in the same direction, if I want to, to get more power output. Of course you can also put anything else that has a hotshoe fitting so things like a suitably fitted Gopro, or even a small monitor with a hotshoe fitting.The tripod mount on the bottom is positioned where the rough centre of gravity would be so that's a nice touch. Although it feels sturdier than the ones that come with a flashgun, I'll still take care of it since it is only plastic at the end of the day. Pretty useful little thing.

Perfect for experimenting.
I own a few flash guns for Nikon and Canon cameras, all are either 3rd party products or 2nd hand, and didn't come with stands or tripod mounts. I'm only an amateur photographer but I've been thinking about trying off-camera flash for some time and this is perfect for my needs. It's sturdy, the tripod screw is smooth enough, and even if you buy one and then decide that maybe it's all just a bit too complicated it's not as if you will have spent a fortune in the process.I should have got myself one of these at the start of the first lockdown, rather than now, shouldn't I? Don't you make the same mistake I did.

Good off camera mount for multiple flash lights with minor limitations
I have a number of mini RGB and BI-colour LED video lights that I use in my studio for back ground fill light on the walls etc to make things look more interesting. As such this off camera flash stand is useful to mount my video lights on a tripod, on a desk or shelf or floor etc.The quality looks good and although it is plastic so are the bulk of the more expensive flash stands like this. It does its job well particularly for a single flash or light however if you intend to mount multiple lights as another reviewer pointed out the rear of the hot shoe mounts are very close together so its impossible to see the display at the back of your flash or video lights without removing them first, adjusting them and remounting them.In my use case with anything other than some of the very small mini 2-3” wide LED video lights that I have they overlap and won’t fit on. I found my video lights slide on to the front hot shoe mount fine with ease the lights slide on rear mounts with a reassuring click. There is also a 1/4" three on the underside which is vey useful for mounting multiple flash on a tripod. It would be useful to have rubber pads on the underside so it's stable and less likely to slide around on uneven surfaces.Just to recap this flash stand is suitable for mounting off camera free standing. multiple flash guns in various scenarios though with limitations on access to rear of flash as stated and for use with small mini LED video lights but only suitable for one large LED video light.As priced its actually very good value.

too little space between hot shoe mounts
this flash stand could hold a maximum of 3 speedlights, hot shoe mounts are facing 3 different directions so they could be used to compose more light settingsthere is a 1/4 thread underneath the flash stand, it could be mounted to tripod and most light standmaterial used doesn’t feel cheap, seems quite sturdy and able to hold multiple speedlites without problemhowever, if there are more than one speedlite mounted, their back panel access will be blocked, as there is too little space between hot shoe mounts, whenever i need to do settings adjustment, i have to remove the speedlite, change the settings and put it back againoverall this flash stand meet my requirement, just doesn’t fit multiple speedlite perfectly, could be improved, it’s now better for holding some smaller accessories with one speedlite

Accessorio da battaglia, meglio di quel che sembra
Se avete da allestire un set e vi serve un flash esterno, questo è comodo per attaccarlo ad un treppiede. In poche parole, vi simula l'attacco slitta per i flash che si trova sulle fotocamere e può essere in realtà fissato un po' ovunque visto che è fornito di vite standard. Migliore di quel che sembri perché la plastica è molto resistente e l'innesto della vite ottimo. Insomma, non credo sia un problema montarci anche flash molto pesanti (ma anche altri accessori con lo stesso attacco, se comprate un magic arm o qualcosa di simile). Quando non avete un accessorio del genere ma vi serve ne capite la vera utilità.

Supporto per flash
Si può appoggiare su una superficie piana oppure montare su stand con l'apposita filettatura. Ha tre sedi per il flash quindi credo possa montare più flash contemporaneamente anche se ancora non ho provato perché non è una funzione a me utile. A prezzi inferiori se ne trovano anche in kit da due o tre pezzi ma alla fine me ne serviva uno solo e ho pensato che questo dava maggiori garanzie di stabilità.
