About Sirui DK18

Because of its sturdy and durable construction, the DK18 1.8m Carbon Fiber Air-Cushioned Light Stand is a versatile and professional choice for photographers and videographers. Crafted from 3K twill weave carbon fiber, this lightweight light stand is not only portable but also vibration-free, ensuring a steady base for your equipment.

The stand's legs can be folded reversely to a compact size of 19.69" (500mm), making it easy to store and transport. Despite its feather-light weight of 1.98 lbs (0.9kg), the carbon fiber circular tubes offer superior strength and stiffness compared to traditional metal flat tubes.

One of the standout features of this light stand is its air cushioning. Unlike buffer springs, air cushioning eliminates rebounding issues while still providing a gentle descent feature to protect your equipment and fingers.

The quick deployment of this stand is facilitated by a flip lock system, which ensures faster setup than the traditional twist lock system. With four sections, a minimum height of 21.65" (550mm), and a maximum height of 70.87" (1800mm), you can easily adjust the stand to suit your shooting needs. The stand also features nine fixing holes for locking the legs firmly into a specific position.

The DK18 1.8m Carbon Fiber Air-Cushioned Light Stand is universally compatible with a variety of lighting equipment, including LED spotlights, LED panels, on-camera lights, pocket-size LED lights, and more, thanks to its 1/4" screw and 16mm spigot. With a maximum load capacity of 11.02 lbs (5kg), this stand can securely hold a range of equipment.

Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this stand. The center column is rotatable for easy beam angle adjustment, and the stand can be placed flat on the ground for added stability. The rubber feet provide extra grip and protection, making this stand a reliable choice for any photography or videography setup.
