79 in/2.01m Light Stand 2-Pack - Adjustable Heavy Duty Studio Stands

In this review the 79 in/2.01 m Light Stand 2-Pack is judged as a practical, travel-friendly option for photographers who need tall but lightweight support for lights and modifiers. The main reason to buy is the combination of height range and portability: each stand extends to 79 in yet folds down to about 19.3 in while weighing just 1.6 lbs, making them easy to carry to location shoots while still handling common strobes, speedlights and umbrellas.

Key Features

• Exclusive Light Stand Base: The simple locking base reduces wobble so lights and modifiers remain secure during shoots.
• Adjustable Height: Height adjusts from 31 in to 79 in to handle low table work or full standing portraits with the same stand.
• Compact Portability: Each stand folds to roughly 19.3 in and is light at 1.6 lbs, convenient for travel and fitting into rolling cases.
• Efficient Flip-Locks: Anti-slip flip locks open and close smoothly for faster setup and breakdown on location.
• Wide Leg Spread: Legs adjust between about 21.3 in and 36.2 in apart for added stability on uneven surfaces.
• 1/4 in Adapter Included: The adapter makes it easy to mount speedlights, softboxes, umbrellas, reflectors and many studio accessories.

Who It's For

The stands are best for photographers and videographers who prioritize portability and a tall working height without the bulk of heavy studio stands. Wedding shooters, portrait photographers and content creators who move between locations will appreciate the low folded length and light weight.

Those who need maximum ruggedness or to support very heavy monolights should look for heavier-duty studio stands with higher payload ratings; while these handle typical speedlights and small strobes, customers seeking ultimate durability flagged some concerns about long-term toughness in heavy-use pro studios.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very portable and lightweight for travel and quick setups.
• Tall maximum height of 79 in covers most portrait and lighting setups.
• Flip-locks and adjustable leg spread speed setup and improve stability.
• Includes 1/4 in adapter for broad accessory compatibility.

Cons

• Some users note the construction feels light for intensive daily pro studio use, so durability may be a limitation for heavy loads over time.
