Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Lightweight and compact enough to toss in any camera bag as a spare or backup.
- Purpose-built mounting foot provides a secure, snug fit for the SB-700 Speedlight.
- Compact and lightweight design makes it easy to pack and transport for on-location shoots.
- Provides a quick, no-fuss way to position an SB-700 on a tabletop or shelf for off-camera lighting.
- Genuine Nikon part ensures a secure, snug fit with the SB-700's hot shoe foot.
- Simple setup with no assembly required—slide the flash on and it is ready to use.
- Low-profile base keeps the stand unobtrusive in tight shooting environments.
- Simple one-piece design with no moving parts to break or wear out.
👎 Cons
- Only officially compatible with the Nikon SB-700, limiting its usefulness with other speedlights.
- Compatibility is limited to the Nikon SB-700, so it cannot be used with other speedlight models.
- Flat base offers no height adjustment, restricting light placement to existing surface levels.
- No tripod thread or light stand adapter, so it cannot attach to standard lighting support gear.
- Small base footprint can tip over if the flash head is tilted at extreme angles.
- No tilt or angle adjustment built into the stand itself—positioning depends on the flash head.
- Minimal base footprint provides limited stability with heavier modifiers attached to the flash.
- Does not allow height or angle adjustment — you are limited to whatever surface you place it on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Nikon AS-22 compatible with speedlights other than the SB-700?
The AS-22 is specifically designed for the Nikon SB-700 Speedlight. While other speedlights with a similar foot may physically fit, Nikon only rates it for the SB-700.
Which Nikon speedlights is the AS-22 stand designed to support?
The AS-22 is specifically designed for use with the Nikon SB-700 Speedlight.
How does the AS-22 hold the speedlight in place?
The stand features a mounting foot that the SB-700 slides onto and locks into, providing a secure connection that keeps the flash upright and stable on flat surfaces.
Does the AS-22 have a standard tripod mount thread?
No, the AS-22 is a tabletop stand with a built-in foot designed to hold the speedlight upright on flat surfaces. It does not include a 1/4"-20 tripod thread.
Can the AS-22 be used to angle the flash in different directions?
The stand holds the flash upright; you would rely on the SB-700's own tilt and swivel head to direct the light. The stand itself does not provide angle adjustment.
Can the AS-22 be used on uneven surfaces?
The AS-22 is a simple flat-base stand best suited for level surfaces like tables, shelves, or floors. It does not have adjustable legs or leveling features for uneven terrain.
Is the AS-22 suitable for permanent studio setups or mainly for portable use?
Its compact and lightweight design makes it primarily a portable solution for quick off-camera flash placement, though it can be used in a studio when a simple flat-surface stand is all that is needed.
Is this the same stand that comes included with the SB-700?
Yes, the AS-22 is the same speedlight stand that ships with the SB-700, sold separately here as a replacement or spare.
How stable is the AS-22 on uneven surfaces?
The stand has a compact, flat base that works well on tables and smooth surfaces but may be less stable on very uneven terrain due to its small footprint.
Does the AS-22 allow the speedlight to tilt or swivel once mounted?
Tilting and swiveling are controlled by the SB-700 flash head itself, not by the stand. The AS-22 holds the flash in a fixed upright position.
