Take your studio and location setups to the next level with the Matthews Location MERF Stand - a field-ready, compact kit stand engineered for professionals. Despite its ultra-portable folded length (20″ / 51 cm), this rugged stand extends to a full 7′5″ (83″ / 212 cm) height, giving you serious reach when you need it most. Whether you're working on uneven sidewalks, across stairways, or on rough terrain, the built-in Rocky Mountain leg extension (up to 3") adapts to challenging surfaces with ease. The knurled baby pin undercut ensures a secure grip with textured contact while the 1/4"-20 threaded tip allows you to add accessories or mount directly to camera gear. Matthews' signature brake-lock system offers three-point locking for stability and safety, while T-handles (tool-free knobs) make setup fast and intuitive. Its nuts-and-bolts construction empowers on-site repairs, and the lightweight, heavy-wall aluminum tubing balances strength and portability. Whether you're a location shooter, grip technician, or content creator, the Location MERF Stand blends compact design with pro-level capability. It folds small, travels light - and performs big.
