A strong, lightweight crank stand with low profile legs for clearance of long, wide, or low hanging panel lights, balloon lights, large monitors, LED screens, overhead frames, and backdrops. The stand comes equipped with a balanced & built-in carry handle for transport and will fold up tight for storage. The main column can be adjusted and lowered at the leg base. The low rolling base makes it possible to roll underneath furniture, vehicles, and many other set ups with low clearance.
