Photek 3-Section Folding Light Stand (10')

[gihl]

My guess on why the load capacity is not specified has to do with the leg hinge locking mechanisms and which 'detent' position is used.  I think it's probably hard to calculate the load point at which they would fail.  I would feel comfortable putting 10 lb on it.. not sure I would put much more than that, though I have test loaded it with my own weight to > 20 lb.

Thank you for your kind explanation.
