Overview

The Nikon AS-22 Speedlight Stand is a dedicated mounting accessory designed to hold the SB-700 Speedlight in a stable, upright position on any flat surface. Its purpose-built mounting foot matches the SB-700's shoe connection, providing a secure lock that prevents the flash from tipping or shifting during use. The compact form factor takes up minimal space in a camera bag, making it a practical addition for photographers who need a quick and reliable way to position an off-camera flash without setting up a full light stand and bracket system.

As a flat-base stand, the AS-22 is intentionally simple. It provides a stable platform on tables, countertops, shelves, or floors, allowing the SB-700 to be placed at various positions around a scene for fill light, accent light, or background illumination. Height and angle adjustments are handled by the SB-700's own tilting and rotating flash head rather than by the stand. This simplicity keeps the AS-22 lightweight and quick to deploy, though photographers who need elevated or precisely angled flash positions will want to pair it with a light stand and cold shoe adapter for more demanding setups.

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.
