- The cheapest ultralight light stand that's still pretty stable. Of course once this video comes out, they will jack up the price lol. They come in different colors, it seems the gold color is the cheapest. AliExpress seems to have the best choices.
Fosoto FT190b light stand www.aliexpress...

or also www.aliexpress...
Super Light & super Small when collapsed (for AD200 or small LED)
They’re all 19” collapsed
the cheapest of all the light stands is still the Impact LS6, $20 but shortest, longest when collapsed Collapsed 26” and heaviest of the ultralights (not that 811g is heavy)
Nissin LS50C Carbon Fiber Super Light Stand 86” 7ft 2” 561g $170 Collapsed 19”
lightest, shortest when collapsed and was the tallest, but $170
Flashpoint nano runner 649g 81” (6.5ft) $80 Collapsed 19”
like all the others and pretty cheap for a carbon fiber stand at $80, but now I have something much cheaper
Manfrotto carbon Nanopole 783g 7ft (84”) $156 collapsed 19.5”
Fosoto FT-190B 85” 7’ 1” 1lb 6oz 624g only $32.50! Collapsed 19”
now the tallest and cheapest similar to Nissin LS50c in height, weight and sturdiness

Well Mr. Markus despite my thinking you certainly couldn't have any more light stands to present to us.. 'son of a gun' looky there! Not only is it like one of your favorites... it's at an incredible price-point too.
Would they be able to handle Nanlite Pavotubes? Btw, I would love to see if down the line you can review pavotubes as a lighting source for videography
Your videos have been so helpful. I actually decided to get an AD-200 instead of the AD-300 because of your videos and have not regretted that one bit! Your obsession towards lights, stands and modifiers means whenever I search for something on youtube, your videos pop up and give great advice. Thanks so much Markus! Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa

I want the Ulanzi one! Send it to me in Brazil :)
tried one of this, not sturdy at all. flimsy and would wobble with a speedlight on top of it
Always good content!
Purple ones are 25.68. Got 2 for 40 with coupon.
Keep your light stand recommendations coming. It's the nature of tech to eventually bring out something lighter, cheaper, stronger, taller etc. That's just the way it goes and as you say none of your recommendations are duff. Many, many thanks Markus.
Woo whoo! Looking forward to trying out the light! Thank you! The detail you go into on all of this equipment is so practical and helpful for those of us first getting into this. Really appreciate it!
Hey Markus
I'm assuming you discovered that if you use a surprised expression ,point or add a red arrow it will give more clicks , it's just click bait. Your content is excellent without that. Regardless, I love your content for the quality and the love of cool stuff. I'm Canadian and I don't benefit from your giveaways, I watch for nothing more than the quality content.
I can't decide between the Fosoto FT-220 ( carbon fibre version) and the NEEWER ST210R. Can you give some advise? mainly used for wedding reception.
I settled on the Fosoto FT-220 in blue so I can feel like I had enough to afford the Nissin. Found one seller on AliExpress for $52. And it comes with a 3/8 thread on top....wow.
Hello markis
I went with the flashpoint
9.5 I think it was $29.99 the price was right pluss it's air cushion and all the clamps are metal and you can't get the clamps in different colors. Minere are yellow and the hight is the name 9.5.
I'm not going to be backpacking and they stack down around 2ft. so for my first ones I got (3 of them) I tried to get my money to last with the air cushion and metal clamps. Only time will tell.
Thanks for helping look for those parts I needed to make a smart purchase.
Hi Markus & Cara.
Interesting...
What are the fittings on the top ...
What I am thinking is to use it as a general tripod with optional height for my Sony 405.. which on your recommendation.. I bought and am extremely happy with..
The settings are amazing...
Could you do a video using the 10,000 FPS.
& I've filmed Jupiter & the Moons...
Have you found the spare battery compartment, there's a trick to opening it..
People use that area to install Microphone sockets which I will be doing.
Regards from
Bella 🐈 & Mark.
They didn't get the memo to raise the price -- 3/14/2023 shows US $28.61 wow! msrp US $46.14 for 38% off
Very interesting one more like from me. You have to be very happy with you views. You sure do enjoy being so generous with you giveaways God Bless you for it
Just bought one
Thanks!
You're the king of the cheapest deals, thanks!
i ordered one before the prices shoot up to 40 bucks. thanks
Mine arrived. Love it. I was able to mount a Godox AD200 with a 2x3 SmallRig softbox on it and it handles them surprisingly well. It doesn't bend forward or anything like that. Of course a sandbag is the next way to go but it is really sturdy and light. Thanks for sharing.
in my country right now they sell the fosotoft190b for 64USD
Hi Markus will you do a video on boom arms to mount a light overhead or a camera for a top down shot? Think you have a nose for great finds beyond the obvious options!
I use the Ikan version of these. The design is fantastic as the legs can be aligned as to be completely horizontal on the floor giving utmost stability.
They can all be set flat on floor. They are actually stronger when the legs point down more.
Wow and I was about to buy the manfrotto thank you right now it's $22
AWESOME!! Thank you! I am in Illinois filming lawyers! I'm a lead guitarist who has a law firm marketing agency....I'm so lucky I found you!!! OMG this is the best! I love cheap... tall... packs down to small... and light! Being a gal with gear *music gear and video production gear.... this makes me very grateful because I'm always wanting to do the best job but without everything being huge and heavy!. I'm so lucky I found you! (and I'm touring this summer ... lead guitar...with just a lil' Sans Amp foot pedal in my all-female Motley Crue trib.) Small is awesome! Thank you for this thank you!

Tank you for videos, they are very helpfull for me... 🍀
Yup! Fosoto already out of stock pretty much anywhere !
Are you still giving away stands? Thanks!
Good afternoon Sir; I however wanted inquire, about the stands holding the fabric behind you, Certainly this video isn't about those, but if you could? We'll be must great full! Thank you for your time, love your videos must informative...
th-cam.com/video/0Ocs5NV_5qk/w-d-xo.html
Just tried to order 2 of them, gave my info and credit card# and a message popped up saying suspicious activity. Damn. If get ripped off...
Strange. Did you get a receipt? Check your card to see if it went through. Sometimes browser firewalls block things
Super super
fotos ft190t Sir do you have the link for this?
🤩
Thank you I just purchased one and a carbon fiber one too to try out. I really appreciate you making these videos!
Glad you like them!
YAY JUST GOT TWO ♡
Ohhh noooooo!! Just got 2 of the last ones you sugested. I'm going to need to sell my kidney in order to buy all the stuff you sugest ;)
There are multiple stores on AliExpress and I think they all say that "last one" bit 😄
Cheers for the video Markus. Just bought the Fosoto and it arrived today. I’m actually really surprised at the quality… I thought it would feel cheap cos it IS cheap. But it’s surprising sturdy.
I set it up with a Godox AD200 and it seems fine. Really handy for quick shoots or weddings. So damn light and collapses down pretty compact. Even if it breaks in a few months it’s worth it… but it feels like it could last once it’s not mistreated 👍👍
Subscribed.
Thanks, Markus! How you remember all that info about each stand is beyond me!
He has the info projected on to a screen near the camera.
Please don't start making faces on your thumbnail images - you are super-informative, have an amazingly interesting personality, and are ALREADY refreshingly different.
Don't reduce yourself to a weird copy-cat TH-cam trend. Thanks!
Every now and then I like to have some fun by making fun of trendy stuff.
@@MarkusPix
Oh okay - I get it now
You're being intentionally cheesy ;)
Thank God!
Marcus, thanks for the wonderful videos.
The FT-190B is an aluminum stand, but in China Fosoto also makes an identical carbon version with a different model name, it’s about double the price
The aluminum version has multiple color selections but the carbon one has only one version
The carbon version has the stereotypical carbon fiber pattern on the main pole. The aluminum version has a black pole
Can you tell me how much the carbon stand weighs? I did not find this information on the data sheet.
The spec sheet on the fosoto website says 0.8KG
@@aCuria. But this is not the weight of the carbon version! The aluminum is 0.8 kg, the carbon 0.6, because I just asked the seller and he answered. Thanks!
Solid info as usual! Thanks again, Markus!
hey your link is out of date for this light lol
Pro tip: drill a hole in one collapsed foot, insert a key-ring - and attach a sling. Attach a double foldable umbrella using 2 rubber bands. Now you have a comfortable carry over the shoulder light kit.
Hi Markus. Thanks for another great practical comparison. Weight is important even if not traveling. I dont have an assistant but I love to light a scene well which means gear and weight. Thanks again. I see fresnel in the back of your video, did you ever do a fresnel adaptor comparison? I am looking at the Godox FLS8 vs the Aputure 2x fresnel. I want to use it on my led but also my AD200pro, AD300pro & AD600pro, so I know the 2x wont work for most strobes but the mark 1 would, but its not available on my island. Wondering about beam spread quality before buying.
Hi, would it hold the Manfrotto halo light reflector? Thanks!
if you're indoors and its facing straight up maybe, but not in any breeze or if its leaning off center
Gotta get this!
Very nice video!
I have a question about these kinds of stands
I've been wanting to use an Aputure LS60x and light dome ii and I've been searching the internet trying to find a portable light stand that can handle that kind of weight. Do you have any thoughts and recommendations?
Appreciated
That is a lot cheaper. Great find.
Do you think it can handle an AD200 AND a softbox?
yes as long as there's no wind
manfrotto all of them are garbage i only use Ifootage they work much belter
You're missing the point- the most lightweight portable stands and tripods in the world for airline travel and hiking where every ounce counts. This is not about sturdy studio equipment.
Keep going Markus, I'm always open to new ideas. Even though I cannot travel around like you , I always enough seeing your travel videos.
omg ... must get one to try
That "D-oh!". Just ordered the golden one. Looks very handy.
I came across that light stand on Amazon, bought one and then immediately two more. They are fantastic for travel, as I’ve never seen anything fold down so small. Price when I purchased was $39.99
Yes!!!
I have that style of light stand comes in handy because it's so portable. I wouldn't use it outdoors not stable enough for me.

@@MarkusPix Nice. Rock n Roll!
Great Video!
thank you
Nice video
Yahoo
I love your videos you are fantastic, keep up the great work.
Hey Markus, have you tested the AD100 Pro? Currently on the long stage of thinking between that and the AD200/pro. Hope ur insights if you ever had one in your hands helps me!
the 100 is worthless outdoors. Never go below a 200 and you don't need the pro th-cam.com/video/WeFt5FkWXfU/w-d-xo.html
Hey Markus, great video. In terms of load capacity, would the Fosoto hold well with like a mini flash on a 90cm octagon soft box? If not, what are your suggestions?
It can hold an umbrella but anything over that is iffy.
Always enjoy your videos.. I appreciate your sharing and willing to serve .. thank you and continue..
Thank you, I will
Manfroto have two 'T' .. ManfroTTo 😄😜
Sono mortificato, chiedo scusa
Great video. I have learnt so much from watching these videos. Love your energy! Have you looked at the neewer carbon fibre. It’s like the ulanzi but taller.
Thanks. Glad you enjoy them. The Neewer CF stand weighs twice as much as the Fosoto in this video which is the same height and is less bulky when collapsed.
What a great find! I travel a lot and really appreciate anything that keeps the luggage lighter! Big THANKS!!
my pleasure
Thanks for so much great info Markus! How does this Fosoto light stand compare to the one in the video you put out a couple weeks ago titled "Light stand even lighter than carbon fiber! and cheaper"?
The other one is more heavy duty, the Fosoto is ultralight for lightweight stuff like AD200s or LEDs
Thanks again for your unbias review.
thanks again. i know you probably already said this but...is Cara shooting this vid? What do you use to stabilize video?
yes she is and no stabilization gear is used. Its an RX100vii pocket camera which has pretty good built in stabilization.
Thank you for everything you show us and all that you do.
I just went to Amazon and bought the last one! Thank you Markus!
I have a feeling it's not the last one 😉
I love your content
Great video as always Markus! I have 3 of the $32 FT190 stands and 1 of their $80 carbon fiber version of the same basic stand and I prefer the FT190 for being a touch more stable without being that much heavier. Plus the price can't be beat!
Hi Markus, your videos are really really helpful for all photographer, thank you. I'm an event photography mostly using Cheeta stands because they atre auto folding with easy and people at the events get in touch with them at the corner of the hall and the stand slide to the side instead of falling down---- question do you think I can use this one for the same purpose, thanks
The ultralight is good if nobody touches them or at least the base is secured or weighted down, but they are not heavy "sliders"
@@MarkusPix thank you Markus. keep watching your videos
in your last video I went ahead and bought four of them light stands, now, I just ordered two of these lol, man, this is seriously becoming a quick hobby of us as well
Hey its better than cigarettes and alcohol
@@MarkusPix sure is brother !!
Markus is the Deal Guy for photography! :-)
I should call my channel "Cheap Stuff from China"
@@MarkusPix “Little tiny not clunky cheap stuff from China” lol😅
I like the design that when you pick up the light stand, the legs fold down. I would like to find one cheaper & lighter.
It doesn't get cheaper and lighter than this.
@@MarkusPixI think he was talking about these Markus.

I just got the Fofoto a week ago, it’s really light but the feet are soft aluminum that bend really easy..
What did you put on it, an anvil?
@@MarkusPix 😂. Just by packing it, the legs are made of soft aluminum.
I was able to buy three for a total of $67.34 with multiple coupons. That's $22.45 each! thanks!
I have received both FT-140 and FT-190b and there is one thing I have been surprised with - both have sturdy legs. Out of that type of lightstands I had only Quadralite Verso, which had legs so weak you could twist them with bare hands, never mention standing on these legs by accident or weighting them down with something actually heavy. Combined with stupid leveling system, which made it equally hard to position lightstand on flat, level terrain as on varied, and I did not even consider getting another foldable lightstand, tossing Verso to a dusty "garbage gear" corner.
Now with Fosoto I have ground to reconsider my decision with other brands!
Nice! Always got the connect Markus and my wallet thanks you for that!
Thanks. This is really cool. Another option is a carbon fiber selfie stick. For backpacking it is even lighter and smaller. It requires propping up, but is good when every gram counts.
yes but if you are holding up a flash with umbrella or softbox, you need a real light stand base.
@@MarkusPix Correct. But if you doing a video in the woods miles from nowhere it can work.
