SMALLRIG RA-S200-4379 200cm light stand for studio lights 🎥
Product description
This compact light stand from SMALLRIG extends to 200 cm to support on-location and studio lighting setups while remaining small enough to carry in a travel bag. It is useful for mounting reflectors, ring lights, small softboxes and COB or panel lights, offering a balance between portability and a sensible load capacity for lightweight fixtures.
Key Points
The stand folds down to 56 cm so it slips into backpacks or luggage with ease. Despite weighing only 1 kg, it accepts up to 4 kg of equipment according to the manufacturer, making it suitable for small LED panels, compact softboxes and many ring lights. The wide leg spacing of up to 60 cm improves footprint stability on uneven ground, and the non-slip silicone feet add grip during outdoor shoots. For travel photographers and vloggers wanting a minimal packing footprint, this model keeps weight low without sacrificing basic functionality. 📷

The adjustable height range from 56 to 200 cm lets you position lights for headshots, product images or background illumination. Quick locks include a rotating knob and flip lock design so height and angle adjustments can be made rapidly between takes. The aluminium alloy feet are 20 mm thick which contributes to a light but sturdy construction. This compact light stand is especially helpful when you need to cut travel weight and still mount essential lighting accessories. ⚙️
Usage Recommendations
Attach small COB lights such as compact RC-style fixtures or panel lights and check the combined weight of accessory plus mount to stay within the stated 4 kg limit. For best stability, keep taller configurations under 150 cm when carrying heavier heads, as the manufacturer notes the optimum height and load bearing is 150 cm with up to 3 kg. Use the wide leg spread on soft surfaces and deploy the silicone feet on smoother floors to prevent slipping. 🔧
Note that this stand is aimed at lightweight setups and may not be the best option for heavier studio strobes or large softboxes without additional support or counterweights.
