2× Flash and Light Stands

Two simple and affordable light stands that I use exclusively with my Nikon SB-600 and SB-910 Speedlights for portrait and product photography in the studio.

In use since: 2024 Used regularly

The two flash and light stands are part of my stationary studio equipment.

I use them exclusively with my Nikon SB-600 and SB-910 Speedlights. As I now only occasionally use these flashes for portrait and product photography, the stands are also used relatively rarely.

The stands can be extended to a relatively high working position while remaining compact when folded. This means they do not require much storage space.

However, I need additional adapters or flash brackets to mount and position my Speedlights.

My experience

I have been using the two flash stands for around two years, exclusively with my Nikon SB-600 and SB-910 Speedlights.

As I now mainly use the flashes in the studio for portrait and product photography, the stands are also used relatively rarely.

I like that they can be extended to a relatively high working position while still remaining fairly compact when folded. Their low price is another advantage.

One inconvenience is that I need to attach an additional adapter or flash bracket in order to mount and position the Speedlights.

For my occasional studio work they do the job. For me, they are simple and affordable working tools rather than high-end professional equipment.
