The K&M 24615 is a professional-grade aluminum lighting stand engineered for demanding live production, touring, and installed event environments where height range and structural reliability are non-negotiable. The crank-driven height adjustment system eliminates the strain of manual column repositioning, allowing a single technician to raise and lower fixtures smoothly without compromising safety. The integrated Auto Lock mechanism engages automatically at any set height, and a secondary locking screw adds a redundant safety layer that matters when heavy fixtures are overhead and audience proximity is a concern. The stand accommodates a maximum load of 35 kg, making it compatible with moving heads, LED wash fixtures, and other substantial luminaires that exceed the capacity of lightweight tripod alternatives. Tube legs reinforced with double cross braces deliver the lateral stability that separates this stand from entry-level options on a busy stage deck. Zinc die-cast connecting parts at critical joints maintain structural integrity through repeated setup cycles, and the folded footprint keeps the unit manageable for transport and storage between shows. With a 35 mm tube end fitted with an integrated M10 threaded bush, the 24615 accepts standard crossbars and mounting accessories, integrating directly into existing rig configurations without adapters. For production companies, rental houses, and venue technical teams running mid-to-large lighting rigs, this stand delivers the combination of height range, load rating, and mechanical reliability that justifies its position in a professional inventory.
