Impact Stacking Stand Overview

From Manufacturer

This 9' 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
  • The SLS-AC-9 and SLS-AC-12 Link Stands have compatible folded lengths and can be stacked together
  • Carry several Link Interlocking Stands like carrying a suitcase
  • Release button for quick setup
  • Sturdy and stable
  • Air-cushioned risers

I worked in the photography industry in the 1990's. I have changed carrier paths since. From that era, I have had Bogen and Matthews stands and grips... Which I haven given away to an old friend who is still in the profession. I'm building a new lighting system. Things have progressed a lot. These Impact 9' interlocking stands are really made well. And from my prospective they are a incredible value! I can't imagine a working pro having the need for something more expensive. But I guess that is subjective. TY RP

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.
