Meet the Matthews Medium Duty Kit Stand with Brake — the versatile, go-anywhere stand designed for creators who demand performance without bulk. Whether you're lighting a portrait, setting up a product shoot, or flying a backdrop, this stand strikes the perfect balance between strength and portability. Built from robust materials and weighing just 3.5 lbs, it supports up to 20 lbs of gear while maintaining stability with its 32" footprint. The V-shaped brake system ensures your fixture stays locked in position, no matter how long it's on set. When your shoot wraps, the stand folds down to a compact 31" length for easy storage or transport. The industry-standard 5/8" baby pin lets you mount virtually any lightweight light or accessory, making this your go-to stand for everyday studio and location work. Designed by the same company that invented the C-Stand, this Kit Stand delivers professional reliability in a compact, medium-duty form.
