From Ilios Lighting Co., this light stand features:  Light stands can be difficult to travel with and are usually heavy and bulky. We set out to find a way to reduce the weight without sacrificing stability.  This light stand weighs just over 1.5 pounds or about half the weight of competitive stands. The legs fold inward, shortening the collapsed length to only 18". Rubber tips on the legs help add stability and won't scratch wood flooring. Increase the height of the stand up to 5.5' using twist locks.  Aluminum Max height approx. 5.5' (1.7m) Collapsed height approx. 18" (46 cm) Max load weight approx. 3 lbs. (1.36 kg) Weight approx. 1.9 lbs. (.086 kg) One-year warranty against manufacturer defects Imported.
