What is the MagStand?Updated 3 days ago

At MagMod, we design gear to solve real problems photographers face every day.

The MagStand was created to rethink what a lightstand should be—fast to set up, incredibly stable, easy to travel with, and beautiful to use. Instead of relying on outdated designs and frustrating knobs, the MagStand focuses on thoughtful engineering that helps you work more confidently in any environment.

At its core, the MagStand is built around stability and control. A wide, low-profile footprint gives the stand a planted, secure feel, even in challenging conditions. When space is limited, the legs can be locked into a narrower configuration that still feels solid and dependable. This ability to move between wide and narrow footprints gives photographers far more flexibility when working in tight venues, along walls, or in busy environments.

Speed and ease of use were just as important as stability. The MagStand’s legs deploy smoothly with a simple squeeze-and-push motion, opening evenly in one fluid movement. There’s no need to pull individual legs or fight with awkward mechanisms. Height adjustments are handled with auto-locking buttons that release with a squeeze and lock automatically when you let go. Each section clicks confidently into place, giving you clear feedback that your gear is secure.

The MagStand is also designed to be modular and adaptable. It comes in two interchangeable heights—9 ft and 11 ft—so you can choose the right balance of portability and reach for your workflow. The center pole can be removed and used as a handheld monopole, making it easy to take your light off the stand for fast-moving situations. Integrated leg channels allow for future accessories, and the magnetic Leg Connector System lets multiple stands link together for easier transport and setup.


Durability and design go hand in hand with the MagStand. Crafted from anodized aluminum with impact-resistant housings, it’s built to handle the wear and tear of professional use. Details like the integrated utility hookconcealed arms, and precision stainless steel mounting stud show how much care went into every part of the stand. There are no protruding knobs, no unnecessary bulk—just clean lines and a slim profile that looks as good as it performs.

The MagStand is designed by photographers, for photographers. It’s stable when it matters, fast when time is short, and flexible enough to adapt to nearly any shoot. Simply put, it’s a lightstand built to help you work better, not harder.
