Phottix Saldo 395 Overview

The Saldo Boom Light Stand from Phottix is robust support for overhead illumination such as hair lighting. In the vertical position, it can reach a maximum height of 12.9'. The boom arm can tilt 180º and the tilting mechanism is simple, with a sturdy locking lever. When extended, it allows you to position a light above your frame without seeing the stand in the shot. It comes with a reversible 5/8"mounting stud, with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded studs, as well as an empty counterweight bag that you can fill on location.

• The stand is made out of aluminium for strength and portability
• This stand is well-suited for supporting lights, flags, reflectors, and a wide variety of lighting and grip components
• The top riser arm is attached via a 180° mechanism that allows you to use it as a standard light stand, or use the top riser as a boom
• The top riser arm has a maximum length of 202.94 cm when used as a traditional stand; when used as a boom arm, the length is less as you have to balance the weight at the end on the other side of the fulcrum
• An included counterweight bag ships empty to save you on weight; you can fill it up to 7.98 kg on location
