Flashpoint Brand Nano Light Stand Black 8.5 ft

Compact 8.5 ft Light Stand for Location Work

The Flashpoint Nano stand collapses to 22.5 inches and extends to 8.5 feet, giving photographers a full-height support that fits inside a carry-on bag. Its reverse-folding aluminium legs keep the footprint stable while the ½‑inch screw on a 5/8‑inch stud accepts most speedlights, LED panels and small modifiers. Variable‑tension knobs let you raise each section smoothly without pinching fingers. Rubber‑tipped feet protect floors and add grip on slick surfaces.

Suits Travelling Photographers; Not for Heavy Heads

This stand is built for shooters who need a tall, lightweight support that packs down small for air travel or run‑and‑gun sessions. The 8.1 to 9 lb load rating handles compact strobes and panels but will not hold large monolights, heavy softboxes or boom arms. Studios that leave lights in one place and need maximum rigidity should consider a heavier C‑stand or junior stand instead.

Load Limit 8.1 to 9 lb Decides Fit

The single spec that determines whether this stand works for you is the 8.1 to 9 lb capacity range. Match the combined weight of your light, modifier and any bracket against that figure; if the total exceeds 9 lb the stand cannot be used safely. When the load stays within the range, the aluminium construction and variable‑tension locks deliver reliable height adjustment up to 8.5 feet.
