What is the maximum weight capacity of the stand?

The maximum weight capacity for this stand is 4 kg.

Is the stand suitable for outdoor use?

The stand can be used outdoors, but caution is advised in windy conditions due to its compact size and weight. It's best to use it with a secure base or sandbags for added stability.

Does the stand come with a carrying bag?

Information regarding a carrying bag is not provided in the product details. Please check the specific product listing or manufacturer's information.

How do I maintain the air cushioning?

The air cushioning is an internal mechanism. Ensure you follow proper extension and collapse procedures to avoid sudden drops, which is the primary way to protect the cushioning and your equipment.

What material is the stand made of?

The stand is constructed from durable aluminium.

How many sections does the stand have?

The stand features 4 sections and 3 risers for height adjustment.

Troubleshooting

Stand is unstable

Ensure the legs are fully extended and locked. Check that the load is centered and does not exceed the 4kg capacity. Avoid using in excessively windy conditions without additional support.

Sections are difficult to extend or collapse

Ensure the locking collars are fully loosened. Check for any obstructions or dirt within the telescoping sections. If air cushioning seems compromised, consult the manual for specific instructions.

Mounting stud is loose

The mounting stud is typically fixed. If it feels loose, ensure your accessory is securely attached. For persistent issues, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Highly portable due to its compact and lightweight design.
Provides a stable base for its size.
Durable aluminum construction ensures longevity.
Air cushioning adds a layer of safety during use.
Offers good adjustability with its multiple sections and risers.

Cons

Limited weight capacity (4kg) restricts use with heavier lighting equipment.
Maximum height (2.11m) may be insufficient for some high-angle lighting needs.
As a compact stand, it may not offer the same overall stability as larger stands in windy conditions.
The air cushioning mechanism requires proper handling to function effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unfold the legs to create a stable base. Extend the sections by loosening the locking collars and gently pulling them upwards. Ensure each section is securely locked before placing any equipment on the stand. The standard mounting stud at the top is compatible with most lighting fixtures and accessories.

Compatibility: The stand features a standard 5/8" (16mm) receiver top stud, compatible with most studio lights, flashes, and grip equipment. Always ensure your light or accessory's weight does not exceed the stand's maximum load capacity of 4kg.

Care: Keep the stand clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically check the locking collars and air cushioning mechanism for any signs of wear or damage. Store the stand in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion.
