The Insignia Folding Light Stand is constructed from a lightweight yet durable aluminum alloy, making it robust enough for professional use while remaining highly portable for on-location shoots. The design incorporates folding legs and multiple section points, allowing it to collapse into a compact size for storage in the included carrying case. The stand is engineered for stability with solid locking systems to secure equipment during use. A notable safety feature is the air-cushioned pole, which prevents equipment from rapidly dropping and sustaining damage when the locks are released. It is compatible with most standard studio equipment due to its universal mounting thread.
