Manfrotto 126BSUAC Stativ air cushioned

This is a very good light stand for general use.
Pros: Very well made, no worries in terms of its durability. It extends to well over 3m height, and has multiple ways to attach a light. The is a levelling leg as well for use on uneven ground. The black finish makes it easy to hide in the background too.
Cons: The little pop up stud (a 5/8″ (16mm) stud) is a bit too small for attaching some fixtures. It should ideally be a bit longer to give a more secure connection, but for any heavier light fixtures I would expect to be using the junior pin receiver (either directly or using an adapter).

For the price this is an excellent light stand. I bought two and am very happy with them.
