Impact has devised a stand that you can mount just about anything on. A receiver at the top of the stand holds a 5/8" stud for mounting gear in the traditional way, but one side of the stud has 1/4"-20 male threads and the other has 3/8"-16 male threads to offer the provision of attaching a microphone, an extension arm, or a mini ball head. Finally, the receiver allows you to mount the stud vertically as is commonly done, or horizontally through holes tapped in the receiver to give extra tilt to your light fixture. The Impact Tabletop Light Stand is more than a stand; it's a bantam production tool.
