The FPS 1003 is a lightweight aluminum light stand that lifts a small LED panel, a speedlight or a light softbox to 3.8 m (12.5 ft), then folds to 111 cm (3.6 ft) for the car. It weighs 2.4 kg (5.3 lb) and is rated for 5 kg (11 lb), so add up the light, the modifier and anything clamped to the column before you raise it.

It depends on the total weight. The stand is rated for 5 kg (11 lb). Add up the light head, yoke, modifier and anything clamped to the column. If the total is over 5 kg, use the FPS MF801A (rated for 10 kg) or a combo stand instead.

How long is it when folded?

111 cm (3.6 ft), and it weighs 2.4 kg (5.3 lb).

Is a light included?

No. The stand is sold on its own. Lights and softboxes in the photos are sold separately.
