Reverse Folding Light Stand with Air-Cushioned System and High-Strength Aluminum

From fast-moving content studios to location photography, lighting support needs to be lighter, quicker, safer, and easier to transport. HAFE's Reverse Folding Light Stands and Aluminum Light Duty Air-Cushioned Stands are designed for creators, rental teams, e-commerce studios, live stream setups, and production crews who need dependable support without unnecessary bulk.

With working heights up to 2815 mm, folded lengths from just 485 mm, lightweight aluminum construction, and load capacities up to 4 kg, these stands deliver a practical balance of portability, stability, and professional usability.

HAFE offers two light stand families for different shooting and production needs:

Designed for compact travel and mobile setups

The reverse folding structure allows the legs to fold upward around the center column, creating a shorter packed length. Models such as TL-2000A, TL-2000B, and TLT-2000A fold down to only 485 mm, making them ideal for mobile photographers, creators, livestreamers, and compact lighting kits.

• Maximum height: 1700-2150 mm
• Folded height: 485-590 mm
• Net weight: approx. 1.13-1.60 kg
• Sections: 4 or 5
• Load capacity: 2.5-4 kg
• Footprint: 980-1200 mm

Designed for safer height adjustment and studio reliability

The FP series features an air-cushioned structure that helps reduce sudden drops when lowering the stand, offering added protection for lighting equipment and improving user experience during daily operation.

• Maximum height: 2200-2815 mm
• Folded height: 680-910 mm
• Net weight: approx. 1.60-2.00 kg
• Sections: 3 or 4
• Load capacity: 3-4 kg
• Footprint: 760-1060 mm
• Aluminum tube diameters: 19 / 22.4 / 26 / 29.5 mm or 22.4 / 26 / 29.5 mm

When customers choose a light stand, they usually care about more than just height. They want a product that performs well in real working conditions.

• Portability - Can it fit into a lighting bag, car trunk, or travel kit?
• Stability - Will it hold lights, softboxes, LED panels, or accessories securely?
• Working Height - Can it reach the right angle for portraits, products, livestreaming, or overhead lighting?
• Safety - Will the stand lower smoothly without damaging mounted equipment?
• Weight - Is it light enough for daily carrying, but strong enough for professional use?
• Packing Efficiency - Is it suitable for bulk orders, retail packaging, or rental inventory?
• Cost Performance - Does it offer the right balance between material, function, durability, and price?

HAFE's product lineup is built around these real customer concerns, providing practical choices for different markets and usage levels.

HAFE provides two complementary stand solutions for different customer groups.

For compact kits, travel photography, mobile creators, and space-saving storage

If the customer needs a stand that is easy to transport and store, the Reverse Folding Series is the better choice.

The compact folded size helps reduce shipping volume, carrying space, and storage pressure. For example:

• TL-2000A / TL-2000B / TLT-2000A fold down to only 485 mm
• Maximum working height reaches up to 2000 mm
• Net weight starts from around 1.13 kg
• Suitable for LED lights, small strobes, ring lights, compact softboxes, and creator lighting kits

This series is especially suitable for customers who value portability and quick setup.

For studios, safer operation, and taller working height

If the customer needs smoother height adjustment and more professional studio handling, the Air-Cushioned FP Series is the recommended solution.

The air-cushioned design helps protect lights during lowering, making it more comfortable and safer for frequent daily use.

Models such as:

• TL-2400FP: reaches 2545 mm
• TL-2600FP: supports up to 4 kg
• TL-2800FP: reaches 2815 mm
• TLT-2800FP: reaches 2800 mm

This series is ideal for studios, commercial photography, video production, livestream rooms, training centers, and rental markets.

The Reverse Folding Series is built for mobility. The legs fold upward around the center column, allowing the stand to become significantly shorter when packed.

Models like TL-2000A, TL-2000B, and TLT-2000A have a folded height of only 485 mm, making them convenient for:

• Travel lighting kits
• On-location photography
• Creator bags
• Small studios
• Retail box packaging
• E-commerce shipping

Both series use aluminum tube structures to reduce weight while maintaining reliable support.

Typical product weights range from:

• 1.13-1.60 kg for reverse folding models
• 1.60-2.00 kg for air-cushioned FP models

This makes the stands easy to carry, move, set up, and reposition during shooting.

The stands are designed for everyday lighting equipment.

Load capacity options include:

• 2.5 kg for compact and lightweight setups
• 3 kg for standard LED lights and accessories
• 4 kg for heavier light heads, larger LED panels, or more stable studio use

For customers who need higher load capacity, models such as TL-2000D, TL-2000E, TLT-2000C, TLT-2000E, TL-2600FP, and TLT-2600FP offer up to 4 kg support.

HAFE provides a wide height range to match different shooting needs.

• Compact reverse folding stands: up to 1700-2150 mm
• Aluminum air-cushioned stands: up to 2200-2815 mm

This allows customers to choose the right model for tabletop photography, portrait lighting, livestream setups, product photography, or taller studio lighting arrangements.

A wider footprint improves stability during use.

The Reverse Folding Series offers footprint diameters from 980 mm to 1200 mm, while the FP Air-Cushioned Series offers footprint diameters from 760 mm to 1060 mm.

For applications requiring better ground stability, models such as TL-2000E with a 1200 mm footprint or TL-2800FP / TLT-2600FP with large spread diameters provide stronger support.

The Aluminum Light Duty Air-Cushioned Series is designed for smoother and safer operation.

When adjusting the height, the air-cushioned structure helps slow down the descending tube section, reducing the risk of sudden impact. This is especially valuable when expensive LED lights, flashes, or accessories are mounted on the stand.

HAFE offers multiple models with different heights, weights, sections, load capacities, and packing quantities.

This makes the series suitable for:

A reverse folding stand allows the legs to fold upward around the center column, creating a much shorter folded length. This makes it easier to carry, store, and ship. It is especially useful for travel photography, compact lighting kits, and mobile content creation.

Models such as TL-2000A, TL-2000B, and TLT-2000A are excellent choices. They fold down to only 485 mm, while still reaching up to around 1910-2000 mm in working height.

For up to 4 kg load capacity, recommended models include:

• TL-2000D
• TL-2000E
• TLT-2000C
• TLT-2000E
• TL-2600FP
• TLT-2600FP

These models are better suited for larger LED lights, compact strobes, and heavier accessories.

An air-cushioned stand helps slow down the tube section when lowering the stand. This reduces sudden drops and helps protect mounted lighting equipment. It is especially useful in studios, rental environments, schools, and production spaces where stands are adjusted frequently.

For studio use, the Aluminum Light Duty Air-Cushioned FP Series is generally recommended because it offers taller height options, smooth adjustment, and safer operation. Models such as TL-2400FP, TL-2600FP, TL-2800FP, and TLT-2800FP are strong choices.

The Reverse Folding Light Stand Series is better for travel because of its compact folded size and lighter weight. Models like TL-2000A, TL-2000B, and TLT-2000A are especially convenient for carrying.
