Overview

The Neewer 10104639 (ST178B) is a portable light stand built around four reinforced iron tube sections with wall thickness of 0.4mm and diameters stepping down from 28mm to 19mm. This telescoping design delivers a height range of 19" to 70", with each section locking via screw knobs for secure positioning. At just 2.54 lbs, the stand is light enough for run-and-gun shooting while still offering an 11 lb load capacity — enough for LED panels, ring lights, speedlights, softboxes, and photography umbrellas.

What distinguishes this stand from basic tripod-style supports is its reversible leg mechanism. The legs can be flipped upward, allowing the stand to operate in a low-angle configuration for ground-level or tabletop lighting. Rubber foot covers add grip on smooth surfaces. When the session wraps, the entire stand collapses to 19.5" x 3.5" x 3.3", fitting easily into a backpack or carrying case. The universal 1/4" screw and 5/8" stud at the top ensure broad compatibility with lighting gear across brands.
