The Flashpoint Junior 3 section 12 foot steel wheeled stand is no shorty lightweight contender. No sir! It is the massive studio support with a real altitude! Produced to accommodate heavy duty Junior Pin (1 1/8") devices in the socket receiver. The wide stance guarantees stability and center of gravity to support the most challenging lighting gear. The massive stand will handle the largest booms without flinching. All steel durable tubular risers sections are spring loaded for safety and meet at aluminum knuckles with generous wing knobs. Fixtures as heavy as 60 pounds whirl around like they were on skates on ice, without losing balance, while being placed into position. The long leg brace design provides the right amount of spread to prevent tipping and each leg accepts non marking casters that lock to keep Junior in place. When you are ready to close it all up, after removing the light, the stand can safely stay vertical on 3 toe claws that are part of the removable rolling assembly. Just in case the Junior receiver is not important to you but you still want to take advantage of the absolute solid mastery of this big guy for supporting your gear, we include a Pin Adapter to transform the Junior head into a Baby Pin for more standard connections. This is the kind of colossal lightstand you can pass on to your inheritors, after long years of great active service.
