The Sirui DK18 light stand is manufactured from 3K twill weave carbon fiber construction to make the center column and legs lightweight, durable and vibration-free. Capable of holding up to 5kg of weight while extending to 1.8m (70.87in) in height, it also conveniently folds to a mere 0.5m (19.69in) for easy storage and transport. Air cushioning provides a gentle descent feature to protect equipment and fingers, and the flip lock system ensures a faster deployment than a traditional twist lock system. The legs can be positioned flat on the ground for extra stability or more height options, and rubber feet provide extra grip and protection.
