ALS Model Light Stand
Product Overview:
The completely redesigned Ravelli ALS model light stand is 10' tall. It is comprised of one stand with a
reversible adapter and includes a heavy duty carry bag. This new light stand includes several key
product features which are significant improvements over previous versions as well as most other
stands available on the market. The light stand has been redesigned with air cushioned shocks - a
change from the previous metal spring shocks. The air cushion shock system extends the entire height
of the stand allowing the fully extended stand to steadily and safely collapse to the minimum height.
Most stands which utilize a metal spring at the bottom, allow the stands to collapse approximately 80%
of the extension before hitting the metal spring. Under a heavy load this can cause the stand to collapse
quite quickly and “bounce” on the metal spring which can be unsafe and even cause your stand to fall
over. The material on the stand bag has been upgraded from 840D (denier) weight to 1680D weight and
the zipper has been upgraded from a 4mm plastic zipper to an 8mm white copper zipper. The 1680D
material is very thick and durable, and together with the larger metal zipper should stand up to years of
heavy use. Other product improvements include ergonomic tension screws and a reversible male studio
spigot adapter which allows the use of photographic equipment with 3/8" or 1/4" threads. The adapter
is also machined with two indentions to securely mount your light kits.

Set Up Instructions:
1. Setting up the tripod: Upon removing the tripod from the bag all
knobs will be tightened. To set up the tripod, you will first need to
loosen the set screw on the leg brace. Pull the legs outward from
the center pole and then you will be able to push in a downward
motion on the top of the brace while holding the center pole (See
Figure 1). Continue pushing downward until the legs are fully
extended. Once the legs are fully extended, you will need to tighten
the set screw to secure the legs into position.
2. Adjusting the height of your tripod: Your light stand is adjustable
in height up to 10 feet. To adjust the height, simply loosen the top
set screw, and then pull in an upward motion up to the desired
height. To achieve full extension it is recommended that you first
loosen the top set screw and fully extend the top section of the
tripod. Once fully extended, tighten up the top set screw and
repeat this process with the bottom section (See Figure 2).
3. Reversible adapter: The light stand includes a reversible adapter
which is used for various lighting and photographic equipment. The
adapter has 3/8" and 1/4" screw threads and also has been
precision machined to securely mount strobe lights. The adapter
locks into place using a push button and set screw. To remove the
adapter, simply loosen the set screw, press the button in and pull
the adapter up (See figure 3).
Optional ATD Tripod Dolly*: To easily maneuver your light stand,
we recommend our universal heavy duty Ravelli ATD Tripod Dolly.
The ATD dolly is an excellent choice for use with your professional
light stand, background stands, and also video and camera tripods.
These dollies offer smooth movement with 3" rubber wheels and
metal ball bearings. The Ravelli ATD also includes a one-step lock
on each wheel to securely hold your tripod in place. The dolly is
easily folded and has a carrying handle built in and includes a
protective bag.
WARNING: There is a tipping risk for the fully extended tripods or tripods and crossbar. This can be due
to moving the tripods while fully extended, a model or photographer stepping on a backdrop, heavy
mounted equipment such as strobe lights, or even things such as uneven surfaces or wind. To reduce
the risk of tipping over, we recommend placing one tripod leg facing the same direction as the backdrop
or in the same direction as the heavy part of mounted equipment to balance the weight. We also
recommend purchasing sand bags or weights to set on the tripod legs to hold the stands in place.
Ravelli™ guarantees the stand only and is not liable for damage caused to backdrops, cameras, lighting,
or any other items.
