This carbon fiber light stand is the lightest light stand that you can find on the market and weighs in at only 1 pound 2.8 ounces (533 grams)! When collapsed, the 19 inch Nissin LS-50C Light Stand can fit in any carry-on luggage piece and in almost any gear bag. Although this stand is small and compact, when extended, it reaches a total length of 79 inches.
One of the legs can be adjusted to adapt to uneven ground. For further stability, a weight such as a sand bag (or even a water bottle on a string) can be hung over the largest of the tightening knobs for the legs. For even greater stability, the legs can be completely flattened.
Simply attach a flash unit to the 1/4" thread and begin shooting!
