SHAPE ABS12 Reviews

Surprisingly great stand

Was recommended this stand (as opposed to the Kupo stand) while in the B&H store. Very impressed with the build quality and design. Ended up buying an additional one. Perfect for my 600x and similar sized lights.

Shape Baby!

In terms of HD light stands these cannot cannot be beat, the build quality and weight capacity (30lb.s) is outstanding. I love the large red handles to tighten and untighten the extensions and the one adjustable leg to make the stand level on uneven ground is simply brilliant. Got these on sale and never looked back... thrilled!
