Kupo 169M Master Classic Stand

Kupo 169M Master Classic Stand – Large Footprint with 10kg Load Capacity

The Kupo 169M Master Classic Stand provides a stable, portable support solution for lighting and softboxes. Made from aluminum, the stand balances light weight with durable construction. It carries loads up to 10kg while maintaining a large footprint to prevent tilting when you mount larger modifiers.

Key benefits and design

The stand’s large footprint increases stability, which makes it particularly suitable for carrying large softboxes without the stand leaning to one side. Because the tube diameters are relatively large, the stand maintains a sturdy load capacity of up to 10kg.

Additionally, the turning knob includes a stainless steel bolt mold-in for durable and smooth clamping action. The bottom spider uses a unique casting design that adds a central “lazy leg” feature. This lazy leg improves resistance to wind and reduces small amplitude movement, giving you steadier support outdoors or in studio environments.

Portability and practical features

The stand uses lightweight aluminum material so you can carry it easily between locations. When folded, the stand measures 101cm in length for compact transport and storage. When needed, you can extend it up to 290cm to reach higher mounting positions.

For tidy storage and transport, the stand comes with a velcro strap to fasten the legs. Dual-leg struts provide extra strength and contribute to the overall stability of the stand when in use.
