Professional height without traditional stand bulk. The Harlowe CF250 is a carbon fiber photography light stand designed for photographers, filmmakers, and production teams working between studio and location sets. It extends up to 8.2 ft / 250 cm for elevated lighting positions, then folds down to just 19.7 in / 50 cm for transport and storage. At approximately 3.24 lb, the CF250 supports up to 8.82 lb / 4 kg of compatible lighting equipment. Its 5/8 in baby stud with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting screws provides flexible connection options for professional lighting and accessories, while ergonomic locks make height adjustments straightforward during production. A bottom hook accepts a sandbag or counterweight when additional stability is needed. Designed for Harlowe Avant, Max, and Pro series lighting systems, the CF250 includes a carrying bag for storage and transportation.
