Hi, I'm a crafter, and hobbyist. Professional Miniatures for days.
I work a very long long time on very tiny tiny things. I was sick of using my homemade stand after buying other stands that were flimsy and broke.
I know, things look promising but maybe they arent and who really wants to spend even a small amount of money on something if its garbage. Definately not me.
If I can guess how long I've looked for this set and read every review and followed every reccomendation rabbit hole I would say it's been about... 3 months. This is the one.
When I pulled it out if the box it had the air pouch things and was wrapped in plastic I picked it up and realized how heavy it was. It's pretty heafty. I checked, as only a crazy person would, all of the hard ware and joints, connections and wires. Its solid.
The phone holder is plastic but.. I think it should be . You dont want your phone getting too crunched or scratched. There is a ball joint and tightening piece so you can secure your phone in a pleathera of positions. It feels really secure, not floppy or droopy.
The light is awesome and has 3 DIFFERENT TEMPS or hues. The light combo is all white , half white half yellow, and all yellow. Which would make sort of daylight, incandescent, and a warmer incandescent. I love it. I love the remote as well . Perfect distance from where it needs to be clamped and where you would be working.
This is too long. But it's great.
So get it ya dingus. :) the pics are of some of my crappier pieces, just threw them down to do this.
