The Flashpoint FPLS8N Nano stand  is your ultimate portable light support tool. Durable and versatile, carefully crafted from the finest lightweight yet sturdy materials, this stand is composed of all the features you need. With a collapsed length of just 22.5 inches, the foldback style legs make this stand much more compact for travel, while still maintaining stability.

A Standard 1/4" Screw on a 5/8 " Stud means that you can mount virtually any light, modifier, speedlight, or bracket to this stand Large, Easy to Turn Knobs  prevent you from pinching your fingers, give you a better grip, and allow you to lever more torque to tighten and loosen the stand sections, making it easier to raise, lower, and lock the stand  Variable Tension  allows you to loosen or tighten the sections incrementally, to safely raise and lower each section  Sturdy Legs  made of aircraft grade aluminum will support a maximum load while keeping weight low, and have the perfect footprint to height ratio.  Rubber Tipped Feet prevent sliding and shifting, as well as protecting expensive flooring and dampening vibrations  Lightweight Balance and Stability  using high quality but lightweight materials ensures that transporting these rugged stands will not be a problem, and they will support the maximum possible weight with the minimum possible strain to your back.

Used Flashpoint Nano Light Stand - 8.5' F

Minimum height was good for what I needed.

Nano light stand

Best travel light stand period. They are very durable and high quality while staying lightweight for travel. Perfect for videographers and photographers that travel. We flew with two of these light stands on the side of our back packs with zero issues. Would highly recommend.

Best Travel Light Stand

Little sturdy stand

It really does take a lot of force to lock some of the sections down.  I was looking for an alternative to the cowboy studio nano stands that I can?t seem to find anymore.  These are not as nice.  The flashpoint ones are generally  cheap feeling.  On the plus side they have a bit more height for when I want to put a hairlight over my westcott xdrop.

The OKest nano stand

Allows me to place a reflector very low to bounce the light upon the subject! Low price well made.

Great little stand. The footprint of these stands fits anywhere

A Must Have For On Location

It is very portable.  It is light.  I was at an outdoor wedding and it fell twice but bad is me that I did not sand bag it.  It was in grass.  I will travel with it a lot.  I might prefer one with more foot adjustments. But every thing adds weight.  Is one of the few like this that can reach that high.

Great for travel

This is a good stand, in that it feels sturdy and folds compactly. The legs do not consistently give me a perfectly level stand and it takes some fiddling to get it right

Pretty good

Good compact stand. My one gripe is that the knobs that lock the sections into place have to be super tight to be effective. Hand tight pressure doesn’t actually lock these, which is surprising. You really have to wrench on them to get the stand to be locked in place. 

Disappointing if you’re coming from manfrotto compact stands. Worth it for the price though.

Solid Stand, but you really have to tighten the lockers down

This is a great portable stand to make a lightweight compact kit for location work. This stand allows me to use a smaller rolling case for location work where I just need to be quick and not burdened but weight. I don't think it's the advertised height with legs spread for stability which I figured would be the case for a light weight stand. The height is enough for the typical portraits and location work. I also purchased the smaller one and the regular Flashpoint 9' or 9.5' stand for 29.00 which is taller and stronger for when I want to go higher but still a portable stand.

My go to stand for traveling light

Great to use with bare speelights, I also use it with Evolv200 and EZ glow hexapop. 
You cannot beat this product for the price, it folds small to fit in almost any bag.

Great for speedlights.

Portable, well-built, packable stand for speedlights, AD200s and AD360s...nothing heavier if you’re going to extend it. Great for location shoots.

Banging stand for the money.

Nice and portable with a wide footprint.  Definitely has to be used on a flat even surface.  I can't say how sturdy it is for larger strobes but it does well with my smaller evolv 200s.

Sturdy enough for my needs

I really love the size of these stands. Well constructed.

Great size, sturdy and well made

I ordered this light stand for the size so it could fit in my checked bag for destination weddings while still being able to achieve as much height as possible. I've only used it for one wedding so far, but it was easy to set up, seemed to be of great quality and compacts nicely.

Great travel stand

So far so good. The knobs are annoying because they run into each other. But the stand is lightweight but sturdy. Fits in my hiking bag with ease!

Good enough

I was looking for a stand that is both light and steady.  This fits the bill and the budget

light but sturdy

I had another well-known brand of nano stand that is about a foot lower than this. That foot really makes a difference. When the feet are flat on the ground, a flash on my old stand fires right into people's faces. With the 8.5' Flashpoint Nano Light Stand, I gain a crucial extra foot of height to go over their heads. And if I don't put the legs all the way flat to the ground I can be about 2 feet over their heads. The 8.5' stand is a bit wobbly at full height (I took off one star), but is acceptable with a low-mass load such as a camera flash/speedlight or a Flashpoint eVOLV 200 R2 (Godox AD200). The portability is excellent since it folds to a short length.

Highly recommended for getting (up) high

When collapsed you can take it with you anywhere!
The only negative thing about this stand is that you have to really screw it tight or the sections won't lock properly

very portable!

It folds up small and fits in a carry-on bag, hence my purchase. Stand arrived with one of the finger screws and the washer loose and rattling in the box. After I reattached them, I find that this stand is functionally OK but a little frustrating to use in that two of the knobs need to be finger-tightened with CONSIDERABLE hand strength before they stop the stand from telescoping down (collapsing). When you think you've got it, keep turning. It does the job but it's hardly well-engineered / well-manufactured. I only mounted a speedlight on this stand so I know it wasn't the weight...

Can't recommend this

Good deal

If you are on a budget and looking for a stand that is light and compact, this is your stand. If you are looking for a stand that takes no effort to lock down and will hold some weight above 6 feet (let's say a Flashpoint Streaklight 360) this not the stand for you. Spend the money and buy yourself a Cowboy Studio or Manfroto version of this stand.

Light & compact but beware

Was excited about the reach of this nano stand.  I received it quickly and in great condition.  To my disappointment, the top section wouldn't stay up without some serious over tightening.  Thankfully, Adorama understood my dilemma and accepted a return with full reimbursement.  Guess I'll just stick with the Manfrotto nano.  I do appreciate Adorama's customer service.

Great Service, Bad stand.

I t's ok,light and resistent.I use it for mounting a speedlight, good for that.

Light and resistent.

Great stand at a great price

This is a great light stand for on-location shoots when using flash guns with light weight modifiers. It's compact and easy to set-up in seconds.

A great on location light stand

This stand is great. It is sturdy and easy to move. It is definitely a great product for this price.

Great Product

The nano stand is very compact and durable. I could take it wherever I need to shoot. It's lightweight to carry, yet it's very sturdy and it's made of great quality material. I never enjoyed any stand as much as I'm enjoying this one. The knobs are very easy to turn and has a great grip. I highly recommend this stand.

The greatest product ever

I extremely do not agree to the 2 star review up here, to my experience the flashpoint is a top quality stand  the quality & durability meets any other brand & even more buy it, you will enjoy it.

a real good product

I purchased this lightstand and am very happy with it.  It is very compact and easy to take along.
