Phottix Saldo 280 Air Cushioned Light Stand 280cm (110")
The Phottix Saldo 280 is a robust and reliable light stand designed for both studio and location work. Built from aluminium with a smart two-tone chrome and black finish, it extends up to 280cm, folds down to just over 83cm, and supports up to 3kg of lighting equipment. Its air-cushioned design helps protect your kit from sudden drops, making it a dependable choice for everyday use.
Why We Like It
If you’re looking for a light stand that strikes a balance between sturdiness and portability, the Saldo 280 is an excellent option. The air cushioning is more than a gimmick, it genuinely helps protect flash heads or LED panels when you adjust the height, especially if you’re working quickly or with heavier accessories. At 280cm maximum height, it’s tall enough for most studio setups, yet it folds down compactly for transport. We often recommend it as a good all-rounder for students, schools, or home studio users who need reliability without spending a fortune.
