FAQ

How much can the MF680 hold?

It is rated for 12 kg (26.5 lb). Add up the light, modifier and any accessories before you crank it up, and sandbag the base when the light is at full height.

How low does the MF680 go?

Its minimum height is 135 cm (4.4 ft), the same as its closed length. For lights closer to the floor, use a low stand or a baby C-stand.
