Overview

The Phottix P220 Light Stand is built for photographers and videographers who need a tall, portable lighting support without the bulk. Constructed from aluminum alloy, it extends to 87 inches across three sections, providing plenty of height for a range of lighting scenarios — from portrait rim lights to overhead hair lights. When the shoot wraps, the stand collapses down to just 30 inches, compact enough to slide into a gear bag or travel case with minimal fuss.

Weighing only 2.1 pounds, the P220 is easy to carry as part of a multi-light setup or a solo run-and-gun kit. The trade-off for that portability is a 3.3-pound load limit, which means this stand is best matched with speedlights, small LED panels, and compact softboxes. Heavier strobes or large modifiers will require a beefier stand. For photographers who prioritize mobility and frequently shoot on location, the P220 delivers a practical balance of height, weight, and packability.

👎 Cons
