NEEWER ST195 Aluminium Light Stand with 1/4" Screw (1.5–6.4ft / 47–195cm)

Key takeaways

If you shoot stills or video on a phone (or with compact lighting), a light stand that’s both adjustable and portable matters more than most people expect. The NEEWER ST195 is a compact aluminium studio tripod designed to hold lighting and related accessories using a 1/4" screw mount, with a height range up to 195cm.

On paper it ticks a few practical boxes: it’s height adjustable, the central column is made from three sections, and the legs are reversible for easier packing. Still, it’s not the kind of stand you’d pick if you regularly need very high-end stability for heavy monolights—its stated load is 2kg, so it’s more of a sensible mid-range support for typical creators’ setups.
