Kupo Universal Stand (198)

Overview

The Kupo Universal Stand (198) is a professional-grade aluminium lighting stand designed for versatility, strength, and reliability across studio and location productions. Built from black anodised aluminium, it delivers a lightweight yet durable support solution for a wide range of lighting fixtures, modifiers, and grip equipment.

With a maximum height of 3.85 m and a load capacity of 9 kg, this stand is engineered for medium-duty professional use where stability and portability are equally important. Its 3 riser, 4 section design allows smooth height adjustment while maintaining a compact folded length for easy transport and storage.

The stand features all-metal locking collars, double leg braces for added strength, and a bolt-and-nut construction (instead of rivets) for improved long-term serviceability. A brass 5/8" (16 mm) baby stud ensures secure, universal compatibility with industry-standard lighting gear, while the wide footprint provides excellent stability during use.
