LS3050: The LS3050 is suitable for holding all Paul C. Buff™ flash units with lighter weight to medium weight accessories such as grids, gels, reflectors, the smallest PLM™ umbrellas (51”), and other small to medium umbrellas. As the stand is lighter weight, it is not suitable for large and/or heavy accessories (such as softboxes, the larger PLM™ umbrellas, other large umbrellas, etc.).
