This 7' Interlocking Air-Cushioned Light Stand 7' 3-Packfrom Interlocking Air-Cushioned Light Stand 7' 3-Packis a standard general-purpose light stand with a unique difference. This stand folds flat and has an interlocking mechanism with a release button, so it can be locked together with additional stands. When linked together, several stands can be easily carried with one hand. This makes them easy to travel with and store because they take up minimal space when interlocked.

With features like beefy locks with T-handles for exceptional torque, these stacker stands are sturdy enough to provide a secure mount for lights, even when they're at maximum height. Each stand features a 5/8" baby pin compatible with most studio lights and flash heads. And for extra functionality, the baby pin has a 3/8"-16 male thread to add a ball head or accessory arm. A 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 bushing adapter is included to mount a mirrorless or point-and-shoot camera or accessories like a ring light or microphone. Air cushioning ensures mounted equipment and fingers are protected because the sections will slowly ease down without slamming when the locks are loosened.

A: The Impact Link Air-Cushioned Light Stand (7.9') BH #IMSLSAC79 will only attach to Link stands of the same height.

Q: 7. I want to use it with Aputure 600d Pro and Light Dome 150, total weight of the light head and modifier is 18lbs, will it holds?

A: The Impact Link Interlocking Air-Cushioned Light Stand (12') is not the sturdiest stand for the Aputure 600d Pro and Light Dome 150. A sturdier stand that I would recommend is this Impact Turtle Base C-Stand (10.75', Chrome). https://bhpho.to/456j7x8 This Impact Steel Roller Stand II with Low Base and Braking Wheels (9.5') is another great option if you want wheels. https://bhpho.to/2myvajQ

Q: 8. I was thinking of using this to hold a softbox a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/610080-REG/Westcott_411_uLite_Constant_Light_with.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/610080-REG/Westcott_411_uLite_Constant_Light_with.html/a that would function as a hair light. Will it: 1. Support the weight of the softbox?2. Extend high enough to illuminate the hair of someone standing, let's say a person 6 feet tall?Thanks very much!

A: I would recommend a more robust boom for a softbox. I have a Pepper 100 focusing spot on it and I had to tie an extra weight on it to get the reach I needed.

Q: 9. Will this hold a 6.5 x 5 Wescott Reversible Backdrop laterally?

A: Yes, the Impact Collapsible Reflector / Background Holder Kit can support a 6.5 x 5 Wescott Reversible Backdrop from the center top of the background. I recommend using a sandbag on the bottom of the stand, BH #IMSBFO15 (https://bhpho.to/3wT8EK6).

Q: 10. I have three lights. Is there an option to purchase this "as is" and another with just a single stand?

A: The Impact VR Compatible Stand Kit BH #IMLS8AICSK (B&H Kit) is made up of BH #IMLS8AI and BH #OBBD0.

[Round] I use this with an umbrella and speedlight and it works perfectly. It is sturdy and trustworthy. Very easy to adjust and quick and easy to store. Perfect for home studio or outdoor photography. You will need to get an umbrella bracket with adjustable shoe to use flash and umbrella. 5

John	08/09/2024
[Yes] Rock solid with my monolight and softbox. The span between legs when set up is 38. Uses lever locks like a tripod rather than screw locks. These work well and are quicker. The stand come with a wrench to tighten these if necessary. Overall, a much nicer and sturdier stand than some more expensive Avenger stands that I own. 5

[Aluminum] Light weight and well constructed. Will be buying more in the future. 5

Richard	18/08/2024
[Black] I like this SmallRig light stand a lot. It is much sturdier than I expected, which makes it heavier than expected, but that is actually a good thing because I think it might be more robust than other cheaper equipment I have used in the past. The levers to lock the legs at a particular height might appear to be too loose (or tight) when you get it, but you get a wrench with the stand which you can use to easily adjust the tension required to close the lever. This works very well and the metal levers seem very sturdy and good for long-term use. The dampening on the segments seems to be good and helpful. The support legs have a very wide stance and seem as though they will be good at preventing the stand from tipping over, unlike what I have seen on travel-oriented stands. 5

[3.16 lb] The first thing that stood out to me about these light stands is the build quality. These stands feel like they should cost at least double the current selling price. These stands are almost all metal and feel hefty and sturdy like they will last for many years to come. The metal knobs are fantastic because in the past with similarly priced light stands, the plastic knobs wouldn't last very long. Theses stands easily held my aputure 300x lights with attached diffusers and they did not sway when I raised the lights to about 8ft. I also used these stands to hold a 9ft backdrop and they performed great! The thing that stands out the most about these stands is how they connect together. At first I thought the connectability was a gimmick, but after traveling with these stands to several jobs - being able to connect the stands easily and having them lay flat on a floor, van or cart - they actually saved space and time! The air cushioning is yet another feature that works extremely well and allows for piece of mind when breaking down at the end of the day. All in all these stands can go toe to toe with the more expensive options and give me confidence that they will last a very long time. They're well worth the price! [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review] 5

[Optional] I so wanted the 12-ft Manfrotto 1004BAC-3 interlocking stands, but just couldn't justify the price as I am mostly a 'paid' hobbiest and the Manfrottos would take years to pay for themselves. I grabbed 2 of these Impact stands from the used department for $ (rated 8+), and can't tell them from the 3rd one that I bought new. Very pleased with B&H! Locking screws are a little soft and may strip if used every day. Don't over-tighten, but then I am only supporting light weight LEDS. 5

[Black] This is our new go-to stand for our travel gear kit. I would definitely recommend this product. 5

Donny	08/07/2024
[Aluminum] This is one of those things where you think the stand I have is good enough. That light stand I bought at a yard sale works just fine! Maybe it does, but we're putting expensive things on these stands, might wanna consider a good one. I was considering getting the lightest and most portable for my on location shoots. But then you need to haul around heavy sandbags and most of the compact ones seem to have a wobble to them. This one from small rig not only goes to nearly ten feet and is air cushioned, but it opens up with a nice wide base. Very stable! And the lever lock is a nice touch so you're not cranking on twist locks and risking them breaking. It doesn't pack up as small as others, I think it's around 3 feet folded. But it definitely gives me confidence and assurance that it's not going to fall over 5

Timothy	11/06/2024
[Yes] I have always used cheap light stands that do not have any Air-cushioning in them, but this one has saved my lights multiple times! When I first unboxed it I was a little confused as to how it folded, but was delighted that it packs down flat. Great buy, all I need now are some sand bags. 5

Edan	07/06/2024
[Yes] These are kind of game-changers in how they lay flat and lock together. If you're on the move a lot, like I am - you will appreciate the design. As far as being a light stand, they work well - just pay attention to the weight limit. 5
