Overview

The GVM HF-Stand 1 is a purpose-built light stand designed to support GVM's LED480, LED520, and LED672 panel lights, though its generous 60 lb maximum load capacity makes it versatile enough for a variety of lighting equipment. Constructed entirely from aluminum, the stand strikes an effective balance between lightweight portability at 4.2 lbs and the structural rigidity needed to hold heavy LED panels securely. Three spring-cushioned segments allow smooth height adjustment from 37.8 inches up to 102.4 inches, with the spring mechanism preventing sudden drops that could damage mounted equipment.

The 43.3-inch footprint provides a wide, stable base that helps keep the stand grounded during shoots, and the entire unit collapses to 37.8 inches for storage and transport. Whether you are setting up a studio lighting rig or bringing equipment on location, this stand offers the height range and load capacity to handle most LED panel configurations. Photographers and videographers working with GVM lights will find it a natural complement to their kit, while those using other brands should verify mounting compatibility before purchasing.
