impact SLS-AC Serise Air Cushioned Link Stand

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Impact.
The air-cushioned link stands are industry-standard general-purpose light stands that interlock, which makes them perfect for storage and travel because they take up minimal space. When the stands are stacked together, you can easily carry several of them with one hand. These stands feature beefy locks with T-handles for exceptional torque, so even at maximum height, they provide a secure mount for your lights.
Each stand features a corrosion-resistant brass baby pin that’s compatible with most studio lights and flash heads. And for extra functionality, the baby pin has a 3/8-inch male thread to add a ball head has a 3/8-inch male thread to add an accessory such as a ball head. A 3/8-16 to 1/4-20 adapter is included to mount an accessory like a ring light or microphone. Air cushioning ensures protection for your mounted equipment and fingers when the locks are loosened. The sections will slowly ease down without slamming.
