FAQs
Can this stand support a large 150cm softbox?
This stand is recommended for small to medium-sized softboxes. A 150cm softbox may exceed the 5kg weight capacity or catch the wind easily, creating instability.
Is the stand air-cushioned?
No, this model uses a clip-lock system for securing sections and does not feature air-cushioning. Always support the light fixture when loosening the clips.
Will this fit my Godox AD600 light?
Yes, the 16mm spigot is a universal mounting standard that works perfectly with most Godox monolights.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The maximum load capacity is 5kg.
How do I transport this stand?
The stand collapses down to 88cm and weighs only 1.4kg, making it highly portable for use with standard equipment bags.
Does it come with a carrying bag?
This product is sold as a standalone stand and typically does not include a carrying bag.
Troubleshooting
The stand sections are slipping while extended.
Check the tension on the clip locks. If they are loose, ensure they are fully snapped shut; if the stand continues to slip, do not exceed the 5kg weight limit.
The stand feels unstable.
Ensure all three legs are fully spread to their maximum width and that the stand is placed on a flat, even surface.
The light attachment is difficult to mount.
Verify that your light fixture uses a standard 16mm spigot receiver and that there is no debris inside the receiver cup.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and easy to carry at 1.4kg
- Universal 16mm spigot fits most industry-standard lights
- Stable 60cm leg base provides reliable support
- Compact folded height of 88cm for convenient storage
Cons
- 5kg load limit is not suitable for very heavy large light setups
- Not air-cushioned for automatic impact protection
- Requires manual locking for each section
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the stand, ensure the legs are fully extended on a level surface before unfolding the segments. Tighten each clip-lock securely before mounting your light fixture. Always ensure the center of gravity of your light head is positioned directly over the center column to maximize stability.
Compatibility: The 16mm spigot is a universal standard, meaning it accepts almost any standard studio light or umbrella adapter from brands like Broncolor, Godox, or Profoto.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the locking clips free of dust and debris to ensure smooth operation.
- Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 5kg.
- Wipe down the stand with a dry cloth after use in dusty or humid environments to prevent corrosion.
- Avoid overtightening the clips to preserve the integrity of the plastic locking mechanisms.
