Matthews Panel Stand

May 19, 2023

Matthews Studio Equipment has announced a new Panel Stand that has been designed to make set life easier.

The Panel Stand answers the need for a quick set-up stand that will support today's panel and balloon-style lighting fixtures, LED monitors, screens, overhead frames, and backdrops.

Convenient wheels add on-set mobility especially combined with the low profile legs to maximize leeway and maneuverability, even with low hanging equipment.

This heavy-duty wheeled crank support offers a maximum height of 11’ (3.35m) and a minimum height of just 55" (1.39m). it has a maximum load capacity of 70-80 pounds (31.75kg-36.28kg), which makes t a good solution for large panel lights as well as 45" to 85" monitors that it supports either horizontally or vertically,

The Panel Stand is built for low clearance and the main column can be adjusted and lowered at the leg base while its shallow wheelbase facilitates rolling underneath furniture, vehicles, or other obstacles.

It comes equipped with premium Tente caster wheels, pins to hang a door rack for truck storage, a 1-1/8″ Junior receiver, a 5/8″ Baby pin, and a built-in ergonomically balanced carrying handle for transport. The tough black powder coat finish provides a professional look that blends in well on set.

The Panel Stand retails for $999.00 USD.
