Impact Stacking Stand Overview

From Manufacturer

This 7' Link Interlocking Air-Cushioned Stand from Impact is a standard general-purpose light stand with a unique difference. This stand folds flat and has an interlocking mechanism with a release button, so it can be locked together with additional stands. When linked together, several stands can be easily carried with one hand. This makes them easy to travel with and store because they take up minimal space when interlocked.

With features like beefy locks with T-handles for exceptional torque, these stacker stands are sturdy enough to provide a secure mount for lights, even when they're at maximum height. Each stand features a 5/8" baby pin compatible with most studio lights and flash heads. And for extra functionality, the baby pin has a 3/8"-16 male thread to add a ball head or accessory arm. A 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 bushing adapter is included to mount a mirrorless or point-and-shoot camera or accessories like a ring light or microphone. Air cushioning ensures mounted equipment and fingers are protected because the sections will slowly ease down without slamming when the locks are loosened.

  • Stands fold flat and perfectly fit together
  • Locking mechanism and release button allow linking together as many stands as required
  • Carry several Link Interlocking Stands like carrying a suitcase
  • Release button for quick setup
  • Sturdy and stable
  • Air-cushioned risers

Impact Stacking Stand Reviews

Brilliant design, all metal

By David
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-21

The Impact Interlocking Light Stand is one of those products that makes you wonder why others designs exist. The interlocking design is genuinely brilliant. When you’re packing up after a shoot, the stands lock together into a tight bundle instead of becoming a pile of awkward metal legs taking up space in your vehicle. It keeps everything organized, makes loading and unloading easier, and is a huge benefit for anyone who regularly works on location. What really sold me, though, is the build quality. These stands are all metal, which immediately gives me confidence that they’re going to hold up for years. There aren’t a bunch of plastic parts that feel like they’re waiting to crack. Everything feels solid, well engineered, and built for real production work. In a world where so much gear seems designed to be replaced every few years, these feel like something you’ll still be using a decade from now. They’re also plenty strong and stable for the lighting setups I use. Once they’re in place, they feel secure and dependable. That’s exactly what I want from a light stand. I don’t need flashy features. I need gear that works, packs efficiently, and survives being hauled from location to location. The interlocking feature gets the attention, but the durability is what makes them stand out. Impact found a way to improve a piece of equipment that most of us take for granted, and they did it without compromising strength or reliability. These have become my favorite light stands, and if you’re a photographer or videographer who transports gear regularly, they’re an easy recommendation. Sometimes the simplest innovations make the biggest difference, and that’s exactly what Impact accomplished here.

Beefy for a 9’ stand

By Paul
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-02

I’ve been using these stands to do school photos where they’re set up and torn down each day. I was looking to save space in my stand bag and stacking stands were what I was looking for. Several other companies make those stands but they’re much more expensive. I have a preconception of how large a 9’ stand is and these were larger than I expected. I see that the 12’ model has similar dimensions but an additional section. I imagine that the bases are identical with the difference being only the top section. I’m very curious as to whether the 12’ models would link to the 9’ model. Does anyone at B&H know? The practical effect for the 9’ stand is that it’s beefy enough to hold a background to 9’. The sections tighten with a direct screw and wedge style which locks up securely and with little effort. The joints seem to be a chunky cast metal that inspires confidence. A great value and very functional.

What would these measure from top to bottom and around when clipped together x 3 or 4?
Asked by: Catarina
The closed length of the Impact Link Interlocking Air-Cushioned Light Stand (7') is 27.4" (2.28 ft) and 2” in diameter when folded and lying flat. So, a bundle of three would measure approximately 27.4" x 6", or 27.4" x 8" for a bundle of four.

I want to use it with Aputure 600d Pro and Light Dome 150, total weight of the light head and modifier is 18lbs, will it holds?
Asked by: Xiaobai
The Impact Link Interlocking Air-Cushioned Light Stand (12') is not the sturdiest stand for the Aputure 600d Pro and Light Dome 150. A sturdier stand that I would recommend is this Impact Turtle Base C-Stand (10.75', Chrome). https://bhpho.to/456j7x8 This Impact Steel Roller Stand II with Low Base and Braking Wheels (9.5') is another great option if you want wheels. https://bhpho.to/2myvajQ

would this stand work with the Glow EZ Lock 34" Beauty Dish, with an AD 200 in an S2 mount?
Asked by: Doug
Yes, the Impact Link Interlocking Air-Cushioned Light Stand (7', 3-Pack) has a 5/8" stud on the top which will attach to the Godox S2 Bracket. The Godox S2 Bracket has a Bowens mount built into the front which will accept the Glow EZ Lock 34" Beauty Dish, or the Angler Quick-Open Folding Beauty Dish for Bowens (White, 33") will also work.
