This stand has a special design that makes it really easy to use. It comes with two legs that automatically pop open and stay in place due to the spring-loaded mechanism. The third leg is adjustable in height – all you need to do is loosen a locking knob and move it up or down the main riser section. This is great because it lets you lift one leg higher than the others. This is especially useful when you're setting up on surfaces that aren't flat, like slopes or uneven ground. This feature is important because it ensures that your light heads, reflectors, and gobos are really well supported.
