Overview
The Kupo Single Handed Stand (028) is a lightweight professional aluminium lighting stand designed for fast, solo operation in film, television, photography, and studio environments. Its unique one-handed mechanism allows the stand to automatically deploy and collapse, making it ideal for fast-paced location work where speed, efficiency, and mobility are essential.
When lifted from the ground, the legs automatically fold inward for easy transport. When placed down, the legs open instantly into a stable working position. A locking knob allows the legs to be secured in the open position for silent operation on set.
Built from durable aluminium with a black anodised finish, the 028 offers a strong yet lightweight structure suitable for professional lighting setups. Its compact folded size makes it easy to transport, while its full extension provides sufficient height for a wide range of lighting applications.
This stand is widely used by photographers, gaffers, and content creators who need a fast-deploying, portable lighting solution without sacrificing stability.
