Designed primarily for use in lighting kits, this stand is compact and light weight. This stand employs a brake shoe system for locking off the riser tubes as opposed to pinch castings, thus permitting the use of heavier fixtures.

Matthews Light/Medium Reviews
Great stands

I have some larger Manfrotto stands but love this unit and will get some more. Very light and sturdy enough for my use.
Perfect for my needs

Fit my needs perfectly! I was looking for something that could check in easily into my luggage (30), not too heavy, but sturdy enough to hold my SmallRig 220B monolight + large modifier. For indoors, it worked fine, although for security, having a sand bag is probably safer.

question
How thick is it when folded?
About 3.5 inches across the widest part of the legs when collapsed. A lot smaller than I had expected, actually.
