Shop the Flashpoint 13' Pro Light Stand: heavy-duty aluminum, air-cushioned for stability. Supports 17 lbs. Extends to 13'. Order yours today!

The Flashpoint 13' Air Cushioned Heavy Duty Light Stand is the ultimate light support tool for any situation. It is made of the finest lightweight yet sturdy materials and has a durable and versatile design. It has all the features you need to create the perfect lighting setup for any occasion.One of the features that distinguishes this stand is the reversible 1/4" or 3/8" screw on a 5/8" stud. This feature lets you mount virtually any light, modifier, speedlight, or bracket to this stand, without requiring any adapters or extra hardware. You can also switch between the two sizes of screws depending on your needs, giving you more flexibility and compatibility.Another feature that enhances this stand is the perpendicular mounting option. This feature enables you to mount a light sideways off the stand, or to mount a speedlight sideways to get the maximum impact for vertical subjects. This is especially useful for portrait photography, where you want to create a flattering and dramatic lighting effect. You can also adjust the angle and position of the mounted accessory to suit your preference.The stand also has large, easy to turn knobs that 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. This makes it easier to raise, lower, and lock the stand at the desired height. The stand has variable tension, which allows you to loosen or tighten the sections incrementally, to safely raise and lower each section. This also prevents the stand from collapsing or slipping unexpectedly.The stand has sturdy legs made of tubular aircraft grade aluminum, which will support a maximum load while keeping weight low. The legs have the perfect footprint to height ratio, which ensures stability and balance. The legs also have rubber tipped feet, which prevent sliding and shifting, as well as protecting expensive flooring and dampening vibrations. The stand is lightweight and easy to transport, using high quality but lightweight materials. The stand will support the maximum possible weight with the minimum possible strain to your back.

I love the product, I ordered two , but one came broken. I wanted a replacement, I ended up getting refurbished.

Ummm really

I love it, it's the perfect height and weight and very sturdy. I also appreciate the ability to change the orientation of the top screw attachment.

Great height and sturdy for small to mid lights.

worked well for about a year and a half. I shoot on weekends usually, light use. 24 inch modifiers usually or bare AD100, but the top section bolt/or nut strips out. They both did it around the same time, not allowing me to use the top section. I may be able to find a work around, but don't usually carry pliers with me to tighten a nut.

Good for a year or so

For portability and ease of use this stand is 5 star, however, if you do a lot of work outdoors purchase with caution. Granted I am sort of rough on gear as I photograph seniors outdoors in both standard portraits and sports portraits with wind and athlets flying everywhere, but have two stands recently sheer the inner scoping pole off - one when a football player bumped it and once when a strong gust of wind blew the light over and the stand was caught. Lucky in both cases we were able to catch the lights before they crashed.

If you are in a studio or controlled environment I would not think there would be any issues.

Be mindful when using outdoors

Very sturdy item. impressed with the build quality and looks great with the red/black accents.

Don't pass this one!

This specific Flashpoint Pro Air-Cushioned Heavy-Duty Light Stand (Chrome, 13') was fairly solid and held a Xplor 600 SE with a 35 inch parabolic softbox (about 10 lbs. or so) without too much wobble. I'll have to wait to see how it performs on location when there might be some wind. 

The stand seems to be pretty well built. No issues with knobs, legs, air cushioning, or extension pole. The only thing that bothered me was error of the load capacity and stand weight of the light stand listed in the Specs part of the description on the website.

The website listed the light stand's load capacity as "19.1 to 25 lbs." while the product box and product tag that was attached to the stand indicated that load capacity is 13.2 lbs. I ordered this unit for it's load capacity of what I believed to be at least 19 lbs. based on the specs on the website. Also, the website listed the weight of the stand at "3.1 to 5 lbs.". The weight listed on the product box is actually 7.3 lbs. Seems a little misleading for these specs to be that far off, hence the 1 star reduction.

Misleading specs on load capacity and weight, however the light stand seems well built and should be okay for my needs.

A great lightstand at a great price. Very sturdy and works great

Just buy it!

Great heavy duty light stand

Heavy duty, unfolds/folds easy, great stands.

Perfect stands for heavier modifiers

I've only used it once, so far, but this seems like a fairly sturdy lightstand. I love the air-cushioned sections. One of the little plastic plugs at the end of a leg comes out far too easily, but that picking nits. For the price (I got it for about $40) it was a great value.

Good sturdy, air-cushioned light stand. Great value.

Works

Amazing

Good value, pretty sturdy for $55. Supports backgrounds just fine (indoors).

Good value choice!

I am really impressed by this stand.  It's not going to be the pride of your studio, but if you are just starting out or need reliable yet portable equipment for portrait shooting on location (my particular application), this is an excellent value.  It's got a great price, decent height, reasonably light weight, compresses down to a small size, and it's really solid.  The individual tubes are much larger in diameter than anything I've seen at this price.  I put a Godox SK400 with a 16x48 strip box on it with no noticeable deflection.

Neewer price, but a lot better quality

Absolutely love it. So easy to use. I love how lightweight it is.

Love.

Way better than my expectations. Way better than amazon tripods.

Great value

These stands are awesome!  They are big and beefy for the price you pay and they will hold up pretty much whatever a small space / studio can ask of them.  Pleasantly surprised at build quality and functions/features at such a good price point.

Cant beat build quality and functionality at this price point

These stands are beefier and sturdier than I expected at this pricepoint.  For a small space / studio setup they are more than sufficient to meet all my needs; and I feel confident that they will do the job I ask of them without any concern for the gear they are holding for me.

Exceptional Value, Sturdy, Great Stands

These stands are super sturdy and so well built for their price point.  couldn't ask for anything more.  great value.

Sturdy stand at a great price

I had several of the version 1 models and recently received a new v2 model and it's a great improvement! With v1, the top mount was riveted in place and it was always a little loose. The v2 model fixes that, in fact all of the fittings are a bit sturdier while the overall weight remains low. Ordering another one today!

V2 is great!

Amazing and solid for the price. Air compression is so nice. I have lights and soft boxes on these and they do wonderful. The price point can't be beat. A lot better than the cheep ones on the other website. For reference the model is 5'3".

Solid product for the price.

Its sturdy build, smooth height adjustments, and portability make it an essential tool for any photographer. I highly recommend it for its reliability and user-friendly design

Definitely worth it

These are great stands, especially for the price.  The air cushioning is a great feature.

Great value for the money

Flashpoint Pro air cushioned heavy duty light stand

Medium Price, Medium Weight. But Strong. Good Height, just what I needed for on location use. Especially like that cinch collars are metal with actual bolts that can be replaced if needed. Not bolts threading into questionable metal collars like so many light stands of this type.

Great nightstands at Great Price

Great stand, just what I was looking for. Lightweight and sturdy. Great quality. Will buy more

Lightweight and Sturdy

As advertised

Solid. Obviously not as high end as Manfrotto, etc but thus far has been nice and easy to work with.

Budget friendly for a heavier duty light stand

Impressive stands.

This is a strong, yet inexpensive stand! I own several now, and use them for smaller lights and my 7" monitor.
