C-Stands are the work horse of a commercial photography studio. Once you buy one you will want more. These stands are strong, steady and reliable. These are not your average light stand since they are usually more stable and much taller. The downside to the C-Stand is that it is heavier than your average light stand which can make taking it out on location a chore.
