Flashpoint Pro Air-Cushioned Heavy-Duty Light Stand (Black, 13') #FP-S-13-V2

The Flashpoint 13' Air Cushioned Heavy Duty Light Stand is the ultimate light support tool for any situation. It is made of the finest lightweight yet sturdy materials and has a durable and versatile design. It has all the features you need to create the perfect lighting setup for any occasion.

One of the features that distinguishes this stand is the reversible 1/4" or 3/8" screw on a 5/8" stud. This feature lets you mount virtually any light, modifier, speedlight, or bracket to this stand, without requiring any adapters or extra hardware. You can also switch between the two sizes of screws depending on your needs, giving you more flexibility and compatibility.

Another feature that enhances this stand is the perpendicular mounting option. This feature enables you to mount a light sideways off the stand, or to mount a speedlight sideways to get the maximum impact for vertical subjects. This is especially useful for portrait photography, where you want to create a flattering and dramatic lighting effect. You can also adjust the angle and position of the mounted accessory to suit your preference.

The stand also has large, easy to turn knobs that prevent you from pinching your fingers, give you a better grip, and allow you to lever more torque to tighten and loosen the stand sections. This makes it easier to raise, lower, and lock the stand at the desired height. The stand has variable tension, which allows you to loosen or tighten the sections incrementally, to safely raise and lower each section. This also prevents the stand from collapsing or slipping unexpectedly.

The stand has sturdy legs made of tubular aircraft grade aluminum, which will support a maximum load while keeping weight low. The legs have the perfect footprint to height ratio, which ensures stability and balance. The legs also have rubber tipped feet, which prevent sliding and shifting, as well as protecting expensive flooring and dampening vibrations. The stand is lightweight and easy to transport, using high quality but lightweight materials. The stand will support the maximum possible weight with the minimum possible strain to your back.
