Smith-Victor RS8 Aluminum Light Stand (8′)
The Smith-Victor RS8 is a lightweight yet rugged 8-foot aluminum light stand designed to provide reliable support for studio and on-location lighting setups. Featuring a versatile 4-section telescoping column and a broad tubular base, this stand combines an agile, travel-friendly footprint with the structural integrity needed to securely hold continuous lights, speedlights, and compact strobes.

4-Section Telescoping Column & Broad Tubular Base
8-Foot Maximum Reach: Reaches a maximum working height of 8′, providing the necessary elevation for proper key lighting, background separation, or accent highlights.

4-Section Adjustment: The multi-tiered 4-section center column telescopes smoothly and collapses down into a highly compact profile, making it a perfect fit for mobile location kits and travel gear bags.

Wide-Footprint Stability: Engineered with an ultra-stable tubular leg base that deploys into a wide diameter footprint. This low center of gravity provides ample resistance against tipping, ensuring your equipment stays safe on set.

Universal Mounting & Caster Expandability
Standard 5/8″ Top Stud: Features a universal 5/8″ top baby pin mount, offering plug-and-play compatibility with a massive ecosystem of studio monolights, LED panels, softboxes, and umbrella brackets.

Caster-Ready Leg Base: For fast-paced studio environments, this stand accepts optional rolling casters (sold separately), allowing you to easily glide and reposition your lighting setup across studio floors without lifting the stand.

Durable Aluminum Build: Constructed from high-strength, lightweight aluminum alloy that stands up to the daily wear and tear of studio production while remaining effortless to carry.

Nicholas X. ★★★★★

Set up my key light in seconds, the aluminum build is light enough to carry around but feels solid once the legs are locked in. Really appreciate the 8-foot reach for getting the light above the subject without taking up too much floor space.

George H. ★★★★★

Really happy with how sturdy this stand feels, even with a heavier softbox attached. The twist locks are smooth and easy to adjust, which saved me time during a quick portrait session.

Avery ★★★★★

I needed something that wouldn't tip over with my heavier softbox, and the 8-foot height gives me plenty of flexibility for positioning. The leg locks feel solid and click into place without any wobble.
