The LS1100 Light Stand is the perfect stand for back/hair lights, and is ideal for lighting a backdrop as well. You can hide a flash unit on the backlight stand directly behind your subject to light your backdrop, or cast a rim light on your subject. The 3-section light stand has a 40-inch maximum height, with a 19-inch maximum footprint, collapsing to 16.75 inches for travel.
The stand weighs a total of 2 pounds, capable of holding up to 6 pounds, and is therefore only suitable for units with lightweight accessories such as grids, gels, the background reflector, and umbrellas.
