Profoto 101085 Reviews

A Just right, Goldilocks light stand.

By Marc
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2021-11-21

I have Matthews HD steel stands and various C stands, but for my Profoto B2 AIR kit, or when using the A1Xs on location, these rock! Easy to take with; one bag two stands and two or three Profoto umbrellas ... done. However, should I need to use a B1X with big modifier these medium duty stands can handle it ... the AIR suspension helps when making height adjustments.

Great light stand for my B1

I bought 2 of these light stands for my Profoto B1. I've used them quite a few times since purchase and have not had any problems at all. Set up is easy and smooth. Build quality is excellent. I haven't felt that the B1's are in danger of falling at all. Peace of mind is very important when on a shoot and these stands give me that.

question

Are these air?
Asked by: Erik
Unfortunately, these stands are not air cushioned. An alternative for an air-cushioned stand in a similar height is the Impact Air-cushioned Light Stand (Black, 8') B&H # IMLS8A. Please see the image below for reference.

Is this compatible with the B10?
Asked by: Ashley
Yes, the Profoto Compact Light Stand for D1/B1 (8') works with the Profoto B10. But if you are using a large softbox, it is best to use a sand bag on the bottom of the stand.

question

What is the weight capacity?
Asked by: Leigh M.
10lbs. If you're worries about weight capacity it may be in your better interests to buy a sturdier stand.

question

Will this stand hold a profoto B1 light and a Mola Demi Dish? What is a good stand for on location shooting that is light enough but stable enough to hold this set-up?
Asked by: Sandra
It will hold the weight, but I throw a 5 lb. sandbag or two on their as a counterbalance, just so no one knocks it over, as it is ultra-lightweight. It's probably better for the studio or a controlled environment.

question

will any stand or head work with the profit b2?
Asked by: robbins f.
It work for b2 indoor only. But I don't recommend it for outdoor. It's not strong enough. And the price is higher than other products in the same quality
