Editor's Notes

March 14, 2019:

While there isn't a lot of variety in this category of equipment, we looked for the most durable options to keep expensive equipment stable. The Fovitic Kit took the top spot for including sand bags that are all but required when using any stand at it's highest setting, plus the heavy duty knobs are easy to turn. We also included the Amazon Basics model even though they won't last as long, for hobbyists who don't want to spend a lot, or someone who just wants to mount a lightweight reflector or umbrella.
