The Impact Backlight Stand with 5/8" Spigot Kit was put together by B&H to facilitate low-angle lighting or shooting. The kit comes with the flat-folding backlight stand and a spigot with male 1/4"-20 threads on one end and 3/8"-16 male threads on the other.
The stand, when closed, folds flat into one piece of 13.25"-long steel. In use, the legs fan out to form a base with a stable footprint of 20". The exterior of the spigot measures 5/8", which is an industry standard size for mounting most light fixtures. The threads at each end of the spigot allow you to screw on accessories that have female 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 threads.
The Impact Backlight Stand Base is a sturdy, all-steel lighting accessory that is ideal for low-angle applications such as mounting lighting fixtures and other accessories close to the floor or at table level. A 5/8" Baby receiver is built-in for mounting a light stand riser. With a footprint diameter of 20 inches, the rubber-tipped, tri-leg base provides stability and prevents slipping on a smooth surface. It sets up quickly, and the legs fold flat for easy moving and storage.
This Double-Ended Spigot from Impact has a universal 5/8" (16mm) diameter and features both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 male threads.
