The SmallRig RA-S280A Light Stand is a lightweight, air-cushioned lighting stand suitable for film, video, photography and small studio setups.

The stand offers an adjustable height range from approximately 94cm to 280cm, making it useful for interviews, talking heads, tabletop work, small lighting setups, background lights, practical lighting, content creation and general location production.

Its air-cushioned centre column helps slow the drop of the risers when lowering the stand, making it safer and more controlled than a non-cushioned lightweight stand. The flip-lock design allows quick height adjustments, while the 1/4″-20 threaded top adapter provides compatibility with a range of lights and accessories.

For safe use, the stand should be placed on stable ground, locked off securely and weighted with a sandbag where required, especially outdoors, when raised high, or when supporting larger modifiers.

Kit Hire

How It Works

Browse the kit, contact us with what you need, and we’ll help arrange the most suitable hire setup for your production, event or shoot.

Browse

We have a range of options which may be of use to your shoot, event or production. Select a category and take a dive into what we’ve got to offer. You can also search and find something specific that we may have. If there is anything else you need, please contact us and we may be able to help.

We hire out in sections of either 1, 3 or 5 days, or as a weekly total fee. For longer time periods, please contact us and we can certainly arrange a discount for this. Once you have browsed, you can add to the kit list, track what items you've saved and either copy the list or enquire via the contact form.

Contact

Once you have found what you need, you can copy the list of saved items and reach out to us via email, WhatsApp or phone call for urgent requests.

hire@filmkinetics.com +44 7914 256713

Our listed hire costs are what we currently offer, however we are open to negotiate for larger bundles of items or if you are a returning customer.

Arrange

Once you are happy, we can arrange transfer and return of items. We offer both collection from our Norwich location or delivery, subject to fees. For certain items such as generators and heavy equipment, we will require a risk assessment document.

For direct rentals from us, you will need to provide proof of production insurance on your end. We understand that some productions involve specific timings and scheduling, so please let us know how we can work around this and we’ll be more than happy to help.
