Handheld Boom Pole Stand Light Portable Telescopic Stand Max 3m with Lock and Shoulder Strap For Studio

Frequently Asked Questions

How tall does this light stand actually extend to?

This telescopic handheld boom pole stand extends up to a maximum length of 3 metres, making it suitable for reaching higher angles in studio setups, outdoor shoots, and event photography. When fully collapsed, it compacts down to 116cm for easy storage and transport in camera bags or car boots.

Is this light stand light enough to hold for extended periods?

Yes, it weighs only 1.1kg despite being crafted from premium metal, making it one of the lightest options on the market. The sponge handle provides a comfortable grip that prevents slipping even with sweaty hands, and the included shoulder strap is designed to distribute weight evenly across your body, significantly reducing fatigue during long shooting sessions.

What can I use this stand for besides holding lights?

This is a genuinely multipurpose stand. While it's perfect for studio flash lights and strobes, you can also use it to position speedlights, hold microphones for video or podcast recording, suspend reflectors, or hold any other equipment that needs precise height and angle adjustment. Many Australian content creators and videographers use these for boom mic setups on film shoots.

How quickly will it arrive if I order from Yarra Supply?

Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on all orders, including this lighting stand. Delivery timeframes vary by location, but you'll receive tracking information with your order. If you're not completely satisfied, Yarra Supply provides a hassle-free 30-day returns policy, so you can order with confidence.

Does the telescopic pole stay locked in place at the height I set it?

Yes, the telescopic pole features secure locking points at various intervals along its length, allowing you to lock it firmly at your desired extension. This ensures the pole won't slip or collapse unexpectedly during a shoot, whether you're at 1.5m, 2.5m, or the full 3m extension.

Is this better than a standard tripod light stand?

This handheld boom pole stand offers distinct advantages over traditional tripod stands. It's much more portable at just 1.1kg, provides overhead positioning that tripods can't achieve, and gives you direct control over precise angles mid-shoot. It's ideal for mobile setups, tight spaces, or situations where you need flexibility. However, tripods are better if you need completely hands-free operation.

Will this stand work with Australian studio equipment and flash systems?

Absolutely. This stand is compatible with standard flash mounts, strobes, and speedlights used by Australian photographers and videographers. The versatile design works with any equipment that needs to be suspended and positioned at various heights, making it ideal for Australian studio, outdoor, and on-location work.
