Stand Mount
The Stand Mount is the most traditional option for setting up lighting in large rooms or open areas. It’s ideal for studio work or locations where you have plenty of open room. The stand allows for flexibility in positioning, making it easy to adjust the light height up to 7ft tall and angle for optimal illumination.
Light stands are the most well-known option for lighting setups, which is both a benefit and a drawback. The good news is that everyone is familiar with them—they’re easy to set up without instructions and provide a sense of confidence and security. However, relying solely on stands can limit creativity, and they often present trip hazards or take up unnecessary space. Other mounting options, like suction cups or magic mounts, offer better positioning and flexibility, opening up new possibilities while eliminating common issues with traditional stands.
Pros:
Great for Large Spaces: The stand can cover a wide area, making it perfect for open studios, large sets, or room-wide lighting needs.
Cons:
Trip Hazard: Because the stand takes up floor space it can become a trip hazard, especially in smaller, more crowded workspaces.
