Westcott Light Stand

The air-cushioned mechanism acts as a shock absorber for your lighting gear. If you loosen the locking knobs while a light is mounted, the stand will lower gradually rather than dropping suddenly, which helps prevent damage to your equipment.

This stand has a maximum load capacity of 11 lbs. It is well-suited for standard studio strobes, speedlights, and smaller modifiers, but you should verify the combined weight of your light and modifier before mounting to ensure it stays within that limit.

Yes, the aluminum construction is durable enough for field use while remaining lightweight at 6.15 lbs. However, because it is a standard light stand, you should use sandbags or weights if you are shooting in windy conditions to prevent it from tipping over.

When fully collapsed, the stand measures 37.1 inches in length. Its folding design makes it relatively easy to fit into standard lighting gear bags or to strap onto the side of a backpack for travel.

You can adjust the stand anywhere from a minimum height of 36 inches to a maximum height of 96 inches. This range provides enough flexibility for most standard portrait and product lighting setups.
