Standard light stands give your lights stable, height-adjustable vertical support, suited to most studio and on-location setups where the light sits roughly above or beside your subject. A heavy duty boom stand adds a horizontal extension arm on top of that stand, letting you position a light directly overhead a subject, such as for beauty or top-light portraits, without a separate stand standing awkwardly in frame.
Boom stands typically need a counterweight on the opposite end of the arm to stay stable once a light is extended out horizontally, so it's worth budgeting for a sandbag or weight alongside the stand itself. This range spans multiple brands, so if you're specifically after Godox stands and grip, our dedicated Godox Light Stands & Grip collection covers that line.
