Key Features
Intentionally short legs.
This light stand features legs adjusted to be intentionally short to allow for easy handling on tabletops and to prevent them from extending out from behind a subject when used as a backlight. Please take advantage of the scenes made possible by these short legs.
Minimum height of 19cm. Utilize the low profile.
The "Super Light Stand Mini LS-20C" is the shortest in the "Super Light Stand" series, with a minimum height of 19cm. You can take advantage of this low profile to angle your strobe upwards or place it in tight spaces.
Lightweight carbon fiber construction.
Even with all parts combined, it weighs only about 530g, thanks to the unique properties of carbon fiber.
Expand your usage with combinations: tabletop, backlight, handheld styles, and more.
This is a highly unique light stand that expands your shooting style by combining the included extender, grip handle, and Free Tilter Mini (umbrella holder).
Example Styles
Hands-off Strobe Style
By removing the main stand unit (legs) and attaching the handle to the extender, you can perform handheld lighting in shooting environments where a light stand cannot be set up.
Tabletop Photography Style
Using only the main stand unit allows it to function as a mini light stand perfect for product photography or tabletop shoots.
Backlight Style
Connect the main stand unit, handle, and extender to place it behind your subject for use as a backlight. Maximum height is 110cm.
Uses beyond strobe lighting
The screw threads at the tip and at each joint use the standard UNC 1/4-inch thread common in camera equipment. You can use it for purposes other than strobe lighting, such as mounting microphones or compact cameras.
Free Tilter Mini
Includes the "Free Tilter Mini" which supports the Sony Multi Interface Shoe. The Free Tilter Mini can be used not only with metal hot-shoe strobes but also with Sony Multi Interface Shoe strobes. It is equipped with a lever to prevent the strobe from falling off.
* The "Super Light Stand LS-20C" is designed for use with a strobe alone or a strobe with the "Nissin Mini Softbox MS-01" attached. Although the "Free Tilter Mini" itself has a structure that allows for umbrella attachment, please do not use umbrellas or softboxes when using it with the LS-20C, as doing so may cause the unit to become unbalanced and tip over.
