Light stands are crucial equipment in any photographer’s kit. They provide stability when it comes to capturing a perfect shot, especially in low light conditions. However, the choice of a light stand can be daunting. If you’re looking for a high-quality air cushioned light stand with an extendable boom arm, counterweight, sandbag, and 1/4" screw for softbox, studio light, flash, umbrella, ring light, and more, then look no further than the NEEWER Air Cushioned Aluminum Light Stand.

Design and Build

The NEEWER Air Cushioned Aluminum Light Stand is made from sturdy aluminum material, which makes it durable and long-lasting. It features a four-section telescopic column that extends from 42"/106cm to 9.8'/3m high, providing exceptional support for your photography devices.

The air-cushioned design ensures that your equipment is well protected from shocks and abrupt drops by minimizing shakes. It also protects you from finger pinches when adjusting the stand height. The stand can hold a maximum vertical load capacity of 11lb/5kg, making it an ideal choice for both lightweight and heavy-duty photography equipment.

Extendable Boom Arm

The stand comes with a 35"/89cm to 61"/155cm extendable boom arm that offers versatility when it comes to adjusting the arm's angles. The boom arm's middle joint allows for free swivel and tilt, and it can securely lock in place with separate tilt, pan, and arm lock knobs.

The boom arm also features a comfortable cushioned grip on one end, and the other end has a stainless steel 1/4" threaded screw to connect with other devices. The boom arm also has a maximum horizontal load capacity of 11lb/5kg.

Extra Stability

The NEEWER Air Cushioned Aluminum Light Stand provides extra stability with its added counterweight and sandbag. The counterweight and sandbag help in balancing the boom arm when loaded with heavy equipment. The 1KG counterweight and sandbag can be placed on the tripod legs to keep the overall stand stable and prevent it from tipping over.

However, the sandbag comes empty, which means you will need to source your sand to fill it.

Height and Arm Length Adjustment

Adjusting the height of the stand and the arm length is simple. The four-section telescopic column makes it easy to adjust the stand's height to your desired level, and the locking knobs keep it secure in place.

The two-section telescopic boom arm also has collapsible design, making it easy to carry, and has rubber padded feet that won’t scratch your floor.

Multiple Mounting Options

The NEEWER Air Cushioned Aluminum Light Stand has a double-ended, 1/4” to 3/8” reversible screw adapter on top. This feature makes it compatible with a broad range of photography equipment, including DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, microphones, LED panel lights, ring lights, softboxes, and umbrellas.

In conclusion, the NEEWER Air Cushioned Aluminum Light Stand with its extendable boom arm, counterweight, sandbag, and 1/4" screw for softbox, studio light, flash, umbrella, ring light, and more is a top-quality stand built to last. It is the perfect choice for both beginners and professional photographers looking for an affordable light stand and boom arm that can handle various photography equipment.
