I learned that crappy cheap stands are NOT the way to go. I got 2 'Impact' (the B&H house brand) stands just for little things and they're fine, but now they're starting to lock up. I mean, they still work, but I'd like to smash them against the wall because they're starting to piss me off.
I'm going with 100 percent Avenger Century stands from now on.
+100
I have 2 Interfit stands from when I got into off-camera lighting on location. I think my Avenger's knobs can beat up the interfit stands.
They interfits do their job and for the money were okay, but the money I spent on 2 of them, I could have spent on another Avenger.
B&H has both the A630B and A635B available new. They are $125 now, but still a great light stand. I picked up an A630B a while back and it is phenomenal for location shooting. Super sturdy and I love the knobs, you could hang a truck off them!
