Hobolite カーボンファイバー三脚ライトスタンド 310cm

I was pleasantly surprised by how well it handles the 8kg load limit without any wobble during use. The carbon fibre build makes it feel premium yet lightweight to carry around on shoots.

This thing folds down incredibly small for a 3-metre stand, yet it easily held my heavy softbox without any wobble. The twist locks feel solid and precise, and I love how quick it is to set up and pack away.

Finally found a light stand that doesn't feel flimsy with a heavy softbox on top — the carbon fibre legs lock in place perfectly and it extends to a full 310cm without wobbling. Folds down small enough to stash in my trunk between shoots, which was my main requirement.
