These stands are such workhorses, you can't buy 'em used because every rental house continues to send them out constantly. It was great to get these all shiny and pretty and new, which I've never had the opportunity to see in all my years LOL! Great for theater lighting in small venues or tucked-in-the-corner additional positions. I love 'em :)

well... okay....

Great product, good communication, but I received too many of one component, had to return, and none of another so I'm still waiting for all the pieces to a simple pole light...

See any errors on this page?

question

how do I mount a photo strobe on it? Specifically the ALIEN B800 OR B1600
Asked by: larry l.
Unfortunately, this stand uses a bolt which normally connects to a yoke mounted light. A stand which can be used with an Alien Bees monolight is the Impact Folding Wheeled Base Stand (Black/Chrome-plated, 8.5'), B&H # IMLSPSFB8. Please see the image below for reference.

question

What's the footprint diameter of the Altman Wheeled Light Stand?
Asked by: Stephen
According to Altman, the length of the leg sections are 14.5 inches from the center of the stand. As the base is triangular in shape, not circular, I would say it takes up an area of approximately 25 x 25 .
