Avenger A0045CS Baby Light Stand 45 - Precision-engineered for high-payload stability, this heavy-duty chrome steel stand safely elevates professional lighting and grip equipment up to 4.5 meters on any terrain.

Built for the Demands of Modern Production

Modern high-output COB LEDs, large-glass HMI fresnels, and heavy diffusion modifiers demand uncompromising support on set. The Avenger A0045CS delivers a robust 9 kg (19.8 lbs) maximum payload capacity at full extension, built entirely from rigid chrome-plated steel. This dense construction prevents dangerous flex, bowing, or swaying when flying expensive fixtures, giving cinematographers and gaffers complete confidence when positioning key lights directly over talent or delicate set pieces.

Rigging on location rarely happens on perfectly flat studio floors, which is why the A0045CS features an integrated leveling leg. This independently adjustable leg allows the user to instantly adapt to uneven terrain, staircases, or sloped exterior environments, ensuring the center of gravity remains perfectly plumb. The stand’s 4-section, 3-riser design pushes fixtures up to a towering 450 cm (14.7 feet) for convincing daylight emulation or high-angle backlighting, yet collapses down to a manageable 136 cm (53.5 inches) for efficient pack-down and transport.

Unlike standard aluminum light stands built for lighter prosumer use, the Avenger relies on heavy-duty nuts and bolts instead of rivets to secure its 20x20mm square-section legs. The mobile column features industry-standard double-locking captive T-knobs and captive collars that provide slip-free adjustments under extreme tension. Finished with a welded 16 mm (5/8") baby pin, the A0045CS is a dedicated heavy-duty grip tool built to survive years of relentless commercial production schedules.

Production FAQ

Will this stand fit standard heavy-duty lighting yokes?

Yes, the A0045CS features a welded 16 mm (5/8") male baby pin, making it natively compatible with all industry-standard professional lighting yokes, grip heads, and baby plates.

How does the stand perform on sloped exterior locations or stairs?

The built-in leveling leg can be independently extended or retracted to safely plumb the stand on uneven ground, curbs, or staircases, maintaining structural stability without compromising the 9 kg maximum payload.

Can I attach caster wheels to this stand for faster studio repositioning?

Due to the 20x20mm square-leg profile and the asymmetric leveling leg design, this specific stand is not recommended for use with caster wheels. It is optimized purely for stationary, high-payload stability.

Is the center column air-cushioned to prevent lights from dropping?

No, the A0045CS is a solid steel grip stand without air cushioning. It is designed for rapid rigging and tear-down by experienced grip and electrical (G&E) teams who require immediate tactile control over their risers.
