The Matthews MERF Mini Extendable Reverse Stand is a small, robust light stand with reverse folding legs. Although it folds down to just 20", the MERF opens up to 7.4' and will hold up to 9 lb.

This reverse folding leg stand is a versatile and compact solution for rigging lightweight fixtures safely, making it a necessary component to most grip kits. The heavy-wall aluminum tubing used for the legs adds strength and stability, while Matthews's unique Cam Clamping System holds the risers firmly. Matthews has emphasized travel, convenience, and longevity in the MERF Stand's design, opting to construct the stand using readily available nuts and bolts should replacements or repairs be required in the field.
