Paul C. Buff TS13AC is IN!
UPS dropped off yet another new toy today – a PCB TS13AC 13-foot Air-cushioned Stand. I picked this up specifically for my X1600 before I decided to return it, but no matter, because it will be used with the Einstein (whenever that arrives).
PCB advertises this stand as 7 lbs, but, either I’ve gotten significantly stronger or it is < 7 lbs. For what it's worth, the shipping weight was listed at 5.5 lbs - but that isn't always accurate. I wish I had a scale around here to check the weight for myself. But the important thing to take away from this is that it's lightweight, making it portable and great for on-location work. Collapsed length is 42.25" with working heights of 42.5" to 13'. The advertised footprint diameter is 44", but I measured the radius at 26", making the diameter a substantial 52". This is ideal for stability when used with studio strobes and large modifiers.
Here are a couple quick snapshots comparing the footprints of the TS13AC to the Impact 8'. It's heard to fully appreciate the footprint of the TS13AC in these pictures.
