Light stand/telescopic pole walimex Autopole 220–380 cm with Super Clamp

The walimex Autopole 220–380 cm is a telescopic support pole designed for studio and on-location photography when a free-standing light stand is impractical. The pole extends from 220 cm to 380 cm and is supplied with a Super Clamp for secure mounting of lights, backgrounds, reflectors or other accessories. When collapsed it is compact for transport and storage, and its quick adjustment mechanism allows fast changes of height to suit different shooting setups.

Its included Super Clamp enables reliable attachment to the pole and to compatible fixtures, ensuring stability for mounted equipment. The construction is optimized for frequent set-up and breakdown, offering a balance of portability and load-bearing capacity suitable for studio and location work.

How to use
