Lightweight, Flat Folding Design Unlike traditional compact light stands the Padat Carbon 200 folds flat, and because of it’s innovate design, takes up 30% less space making it easy to pack in most gear bags or cases. Taking it’s name from the Malay word for “compact” this light stand extends to a working height of 6.6ft from a collapsed length of 19.6 inches. Weighing only 2.1lbs while supporting up to 3.3lbs, the Padat is perfect for using speedlights or small LEDs on location. Convertible Center Column The Padat Carbon 200’s carbon fiber column can effortlessly be detached from it’s aluminium legs for use as a lightweight, hand held boom. And with the addition of the included ball head mount plate and rubber foot, the carbon center column can be converted into a monopod. Adjustable Aluminum Leg Working on location sometime means setting up lights in less than ideal spaces. That is why the Padat Carbon 200 is equipped with an aluminum leveling leg that enables photographers to set up their lights on uneven terrain, stairs or even leaning up against a wall if there is not enough room to fully extend all three legs.
