Neewer 190cm Aluminium Light Tripod Stands (Black, 2-Pack) for Studio Kits & Softboxes

What these light stands are for

If you’re building or topping up a studio setup, a solid pair of light tripod stands is one of those “works in the background” pieces that still makes a difference. These Neewer stands are designed for photography lights and softboxes, which is exactly the kind of use case where stable height and predictable adjustment matter.

On paper, they’re the practical sort of stand: compact when folded away, tall enough for typical light positioning, and built around a simple multi-section aluminium design. That said, the details also hint at a few potential limitations (especially around the top spigot size), so it’s worth checking your existing kit before you assume everything lines up.

Key takeaways at a glance

These stands reach a maximum height of 75" (6.23 feet) and fold down to 25.98" (2.16 feet). Each stand is about 3 lbs net weight, with a max load capacity of 13.5 lbs. They use three segments and a 1/4" spigot.

It’s a fairly straightforward package: you get two stands, and you can use them as the backbone for studio lights, softboxes and similar modifiers. If your current stands feel too short, bulky in storage, or just inconsistent to set up, a pair like this can feel like a tidy upgrade. If you’re expecting something “heavy duty” for very demanding loads, you may find they sit more in the mid-range category rather than the top end.

The essentials (what you’ll notice in use)

The maximum height of 75" is a useful ceiling for lots of common photo setups: portrait light placement, basic three-point lighting, and getting a softbox up and angled without the stand being at the absolute limit. The folded height of just under 26" also makes a difference if you pack gear into a small car or a tight studio cupboard.

The three-segment design should make them quicker to assemble than more complex multi-segment systems. In day-to-day use, the big “feel” factor is whether the adjustment is smooth and the stand stays planted when you angle the light. The entry info doesn’t specify lock quality or leg stability, so you’ll want to rely on the general aluminium tripod expectation: sturdy enough for normal studio use, but not a substitute for purpose-built heavy-duty stands if you’re pushing loads near the limit.

One small practical example: when you’re setting a softbox for a head-and-shoulders portrait, you’d typically lift the stand close to the upper third of its height, tighten the sections, then adjust the light position by a few inches. With a compact folded size, you can then pack it away without everything becoming a hassle.

Tech specs you should check first

Before buying, these are the numbers that tend to decide whether the stands actually suit your kit:

• Folded height: 25.98" (2.16 feet)
• Maximum height: 75" (6.23 feet)
• Net weight per light stand: 3 lbs
• Maximum load capacity: 13.5 lbs
• Spigot: 1/4" (need an adapter to convert to 3/8)
• Segments: 3

The spigot requirement is the one detail that can trip people up. If your lights or light heads use a 3/8" fitting, you’ll need the right adapter rather than forcing compatibility.

Where it shines (and where it can fall short)

These stands make sense if you want a practical pair for a studio kit: photography lights, softboxes, and day-to-day setups where you’re moving equipment around, storing it between shoots, and adjusting height fairly often.

However, it might not be the best match if: - your existing light heads rely on a different spigot size and you don’t want to add an adapter, - you plan to run loads consistently close to the stated maximum capacity, - you’re after the most premium, highly rigid feel (this type of aluminium, multi-segment stand generally sits more in the sensible-value bracket than the “broadcast-grade” bracket).

If you’re buying primarily for occasional use, school projects, small studio work, or content creation that needs consistent setup, these stands could do what you need without overcomplicating your kit.

Compatibility and requirements

The stand top uses a 1/4" spigot, and the information explicitly notes that you’ll need an adapter to convert to 3/8. So if your light, bracket, or modifier uses a 3/8" connection, make sure you have the right adapter (or you’re already covered) before you commit.

Is it worth it?

It’s worth considering if you want two aluminium light tripod stands that are reasonably tall, fold down for easier storage, and provide a straightforward height-and-support setup for studio kits, photography lights and softboxes. The 190cm-class height range and the 13.5 lbs max load rating suggest they’re aimed at typical photo lighting use rather than extreme, heavy-duty applications.

You may want to skip them if your light heads need a 3/8" spigot and you’d rather not source adapters, or if you know you’ll be pushing close to the maximum load capacity day after day.

If you’re shopping for a pair that gets you shooting with minimal fuss, these are the sort of stands that usually fit the bill—just don’t forget to check the spigot situation first.

Mini FAQ

Will these stands fit my light if it uses a 3/8" spigot?

The spigot here is 1/4", and you’ll need an adapter to convert to 3/8. If your equipment expects 3/8" and you don’t already have the adapter, factor that in.

How tall are they when fully extended?

They reach 75" (6.23 feet) at maximum height.

How do they store away?

The folded height is 25.98" (2.16 feet), which should be fairly manageable for transport and compact storage.

What’s the maximum load capacity?

They’re rated up to 13.5 lbs maximum load capacity.

How many sections do the tripods have?
