A leading commercial video agency based in Los Angeles, USA, expanded its multi-location operations. Facing frequent equipment damage on fast-paced field shoots, they partnered with HAFE International Limited to standardize their lighting support rigs with high-capacity, pneumatic air-cushioned light stands.
- Gear Protection: Eliminating accidental drops that destroy expensive LED panels and strobes.
- Rapid Deployment: Quick-lock mechanisms for swift location setups.
- Heavy Payload Capacity: Stable support for large modifiers in unpredictable outdoor wind conditions.
HAFE provided a customized batch of TMY-4 flagship light stands, featuring an integrated mid-level spreader for extreme structural rigidity and a safety-first air-cushion descent system.
