NEEWER C-Stand Light Stand 3 m with 1.2 m boom 📷
Description:
This C-stand light stand from NEEWER combines a tall central column and a long boom arm to give photographers and videographers more flexible lighting setups in studio and location shoots. It supports monolights, reflectors and umbrellas while prioritising stability and portability, making it useful when you need reliable support for heavier modifiers.
Key Points
The stand is built with a focus on durability, featuring corrosion-resistant materials that help in damp or coastal environments. The removable structure and included carry bag make transport straightforward for on-location work, and the three-legged base spreads at 120 degrees to improve steadiness during shoots. ⚙️
When adjusting arms and joints take care to balance weights before changing angles, otherwise the junction screws may be stressed. This product includes two grip heads which allow secure mounting of accessories and easier angle control during lighting setups. 🔧

Usage Recommendations
For safe operation, always support the rear of the boom arm when altering the angle to keep the load balanced and avoid undue torque on the connecting screw. Use sandbags or counterweights on the base when attaching heavier monolights or large reflectors, especially outdoors. For umbrella or softbox work the lower profile of the boom helps position modifiers without interfering with camera sightlines. 🏞️
Transport the stand disassembled in the supplied bag to protect threaded fittings and the finish. Reassemble on site and check each grip head is tightened before powering up any attached lights. Consider that very heavy or unusually shaped modifiers may require additional support beyond what a single C-stand and boom can safely provide, according to the manufacturer.
Benefits
The adjustable column gives a wide range of heights for different shooting angles and compositions. The 1.2 metre boom extends reach so you can place lights off-axis for more controlled modelling and catchlight placement. The stainless construction is both sturdy and easier to maintain than plain steel, which helps preserve the stand over repeated location trips.
