This is a Foba Combitube Light Stand Kit. It consists of a 32" (80cm) Combitube column, a round platform base, clamp holder and adapter for mounting and adjusting the height of your fixture.

Combitubes are made of aluminum and have a non-reflective matt black surface. The Combitube System allows the coupling of additional sections of 8, 16, 32 or 64" (31-0216, 31-0227, 31-0236, 31-0230) to achieve a taller reach.

Column, Round Base    Clamp Holder, Adapter

Includes a grip handle for easier placement

Light fixture can be lowered to within inches of the floor -- something not possible with conventional light stands

If using a large softbox on your fixture, a sandbag, or Foba's #31-0257 is recommended for increased stability
