Questions & Answers

s f : What is the weight capacity for this stand? I am looking for a lightweight compact stand for travel that will safely hold an Einstein 640 with a 27" octa modifier on it.dan b : i don't know the weight capacity but i can tell you i use these with dyna lites and a medium box and they do fine. they are very well made and compact. i usually keep them in a pelican case with a battery powered comet strobe.DANIEL A : The weight limit is 2 pounds. I don't know how much your Einstein weighs with the modifier. But I suggest taking some sort of sandbag substitute when you travel with the stand.THOMAS O : its a nice stand for a speed light and small umbrella inside or well bagged in light wind up to 6.5ft to just shy of max height. but for that sized light safe, would be a max height of maybe 36inches in bagged depending on the weight of the octPHILLIP T : I would estimate about 3lbs... Not a very high capacity.
Christin L : Hi. I need something that can go very low to the ground. What is this stand's lowest height?dan b : 22 inchesJEREMY M : Hi, the answer would be, "all the way" :) since the legs fold up toward the body, you could have it pretty flat to the ground with the legs out at 90's from the base if you wanted.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Dan F : I needed a few compact lightstands for an upcoming travel project.STACIA H : Perfect professional stand. However a big umbrella will weigh it down and cause the whole bulb to tilt forward. Umbrella must be smaller than 40 inches or be prepared to tighten up the joint!

Amazing little stand.

Replacing older cheap stands and these did the trick. I also needed stands that can be positioned lower to the ground and these stands fit the bill. Highly recommend.

Best one for destination photography

I had Manfrotto 5001B before, and i have to say that Lowel Uni-stand just has everything I was lacking in 5001B. Highly recommended.

sturdy compact stand

I was led to believe this was a strong stable stand, and it turned out to better than expected. No plastic whatsoever, all quality metal (I think aluminum). The loosen/tighten knobs are a bit on the small side and can be a little stiff, but not a huge issue. All in all a great stand that can easily handle a strobe and 60 in umbrella.

surprisingly sturdy accessory

This stand came with the Lowel Pro-Light kit. I was surprised by the solid construction and smooth movement of the individual tubes.

great stand!

I needed some better stands to complete my "strobists"-kit and these are perfect. Very compact, priced right, and great looking.

• All Lowel Stands and Poles have been upgraded. They are constructed with thick-wall, anodized aluminum alloy tubing to deliver an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio. All have a standard 5/8" (1.59 cm) top stud with safety undercut, adjustable base spread and, except for Grand Stand, collar-clamping for each segment. All have wall thickness of .049" and are finished in contemporary anodized gun-metal gray with yellow stand collars, except for air-cushioned stands (KSA & Grand Stand) which have black stand collars.
• Recommended Uses: ViP, Tota/Omni, Rifa-lite 44 & other small lights. Sturdier than Uni-stand, ideal for use with Tota/Omni in GO Cases.
