It's an ideal lighting stand to take with the equipment to locations. Super fast to set up, solid, ultra-light, and with a very good aesthetic.

Really great size and weight for light duty jobs like speedlights, reflectors, small grip and lighting modifiers. Well built, cool lock mechanism on the legs too. folds up super small.

Is it safe to use it with Profoto b10x with umbrella?
Asked by: John
The Sirui Carbon Fiber Air-Cushioned Light Stand (5.9') is strong enough for the B10x with a medium-sized umbrella. If you are shooting outside or even inside, it would be best to use a sandbag on the bottom of this stand like the Impact Filled Saddle Sandbag (15 lb, Black), https://bhpho.to/4akefcn. Alternatively, for better safety, you could use a stronger and heavier stand like the Matthews Maxi Kit Steel Stand (9.5'), https://bhpho.to/4bZeSKu.
