ExpoImaging to carry Nissin Digital carbon fiber light stands
Photographic accessories distributor ExpoImaging Inc. announced Nissin Digital’s new ultra-lightweight carbon fiber light stands. Available in two sizes, these stands feature three folding carbon fiber legs that connect to a carbon fiber center column.
“Early reviewers are telling us that Nissin’s new carbon fiber lights stands are the best on the market,” said Erik Sowder, ExpoImaging CEO . “They are ideally suited for travel photographers looking to reduce their gear load with smaller and lighter gear,” said Sowder.
The $149.95 LS-55C is adjustable from 19”-79”, weighs 22oz, and supports a maximum load of 3.3lbs. When collapsed to its 19” length the LS-55C is short enough to fit in carry-on luggage and most gear bags. For heavier lights and accessories, the larger $174.95 LS-65C is adjustable from 24”-106”, weighs 29oz, and supports a maximum load of 6.6lbs.
Lights, flashes, and other accessories can be quickly attached to the top of both light stands by using the integrated 5/8” stud with a 1/4”, or 3/8” screw thread tip.
