With the Sirui DK28 Carbon Fiber Air-Cushioned Light Stand, you get a lightweight yet robust solution for your lighting needs. This stand, unlike many others on the market, is constructed from 3K twill weave carbon fiber fabric, a material known for its superior strength and stability. This unique construction not only reduces the weight of the stand to a mere 2.65 lbs (1.2kg), but also enhances its stability, making it capable of supporting large, heavy lighting fixtures with ease.The DK28 features large leg tubes and a center spreader, which further contribute to its robustness. With a maximum tube diameter of 32mm and a maximum load capacity of 10kg, this stand offers solid support for a range of lighting equipment.One of the standout features of the Sirui DK28 is its air cushioning system. Unlike buffer springs, which can cause rebounding issues, the air cushioning system ensures a gentle descent, protecting both your equipment and your fingers from potential damage.
