Stands and risers cover the freestanding support equipment used to get lighting, speakers and follow spots off the floor and into position on stage, in studio or on set. The range spans lightweight wind-up stands such as the Manfrotto 087 and 111 series through to heavy-duty wind-up units like the VMB TE-076, Work LW-290-R and Fantek T-106, rated for loads up to around 320 kg and working heights beyond six metres. Speaker stands from K&M, follow spot stands from Manfrotto and Robert Juliat, and mobile options including monitor stands on wheels and a light tower on wheels complete the selection.
These stands are used wherever fixed rigging points are unavailable or impractical, giving crews a stable, adjustable base for luminaires, loudspeakers and spotlights at variable heights. The Accessories subcategory supplies the fittings that extend this use, including wheel kits, base plates and spigot adaptors, allowing stands to be adapted to different loads, floor surfaces and mounting requirements on touring, broadcast and event productions.
