Good compact light stand

Very compact and useful light stand, placing the light at a low angle.

Inexpensive but not cheap

I bought this because it was the least expensive honestly. The job is simple, right? Hold the flash. However, I was very impressed. It is good quality. It does not wobble. It has better height than some other ones. I have no complaints.

Awesome product

I’ve used aluminum stands in the past and this stand is so much better to use and is more reliable than the others stands I’ve used. Great product.

Great light weight and portable stand!

Super easy to use and lightweight! It won’t stand up to really rough use, but for the occasional wedding reception and one Godox ad200, it’s perfect!

Nicely built

It is small and light weight but is nicely built. Perfect for a small flash setup

7.5" Value Light stand

By TAMIKA M.

Great product and very high quality.

Good compact light stand

By PAUL M.

Very compact and useful light stand, placing the light at a low angle.

The Studio Essentials line of Premium Light Stands is designed for the working photographer. With solid metal locking collars and air-cushioning that won't fade, you'll never have to worry about the security of your lights. The Studio Essentials 8'6" Premium Light Stand is a solid, medium sized light stand. At maximum height, this stand is perfect for most portrait and headshot applications and can easily support speedlights and most small flash units with small modifiers at maximum height.

• Solid metal locking collars for added security and stability
• Air-cushioning keeps your gear safe
• Aluminum build for maximum stability and portability
• Supports up to 11 lbs perfect for small monolights and medium-sized modifiers

Metal Locking Collars
Traditional lightweight stands use plastic locking collars to save cost and weight. Studio Essentials Premium Light Stands use solid metal collars for added strength and security. Metal locking collars will also support more weight than plastic collars, making them ideal for larger lights and modifiers.

Air-Cushioning
Air-cushioning is a safety feature that prevents your light from crashing down and ensures your light slowly descends should you forget to tighten the section locks. This helps prevent damage to your lights as well as your fingers.
