Overview
The Kupo Handy Stand (055) is an ultra-lightweight aluminium lighting stand designed for travel, location shoots, and compact studio setups. It is engineered for photographers, filmmakers, and content creators who require a highly portable stand without compromising on working height or stability.
Weighing just 1.18 kg, the Handy Stand folds down to a compact 49 cm, making it easy to transport in standard equipment cases or suitcases. Despite its small folded size, it extends to a maximum height of 2.27 m, providing versatile positioning options for small lighting fixtures.
The stand features a 5-section, 4-riser telescopic column for flexible height adjustment. Its aluminium construction with a black anodised finish ensures durability while keeping weight to a minimum. The integrated brass 5/8" (16 mm) baby stud provides universal compatibility with standard lighting and grip equipment.
This stand is ideal for mobile lighting kits, travel production setups, and any application where space, weight, and efficiency are critical.
