RickyJust wanted to let you know we received the 1 moon balloon from Fenigal(China) and have done our due diligence/testing andwe are so happy with it. We' d like to move forward with the attached invoice. Please send this ACH ASAP so Harry and his team can get moving with the production of the other 9 Balloons. -
DimitriAwesome, as soon we received the product, we tested some of them !!.. really impressive.. the quality is really good.. -
MarjorieI put these in my clients party balloons which were a big hit. Worked great for what I needed. I will definitely get these again for other events. -
AnastasiaAwesome addition to a party! These were great! Everyone loved them! Worked perfect, easy to use! -
LisseteI had the lights turned on (except for testing purposes yet), but they are a nice size and seem to be pretty bright. I have been looking for battery operated lights for my projects and these seem like they will work nicely as they are individual so you can use as few or as many as you want -

Product Description
TMFC Series Steel Crank-Up Film Stands
Heavy-duty elevation without the heavy lifting.
Product Overview
When your lighting setup demands rock-solid height adjustment under serious payloads, the TMFC Series delivers. Engineered around a precision worm‑gear crank mechanism and constructed from rigid steel, these stands combine studio‑grade stability with genuine portability. Whether you're flying a large Fresnel on a sound stage or raising a diffusion frame on location, the TMFC system gives you smooth, controlled elevation from just above head height all the way up to nearly four meters - with zero drift and zero drama. Two distinct models let you balance reach, payload, and transport size precisely to your workflow.
Product Specifications
| Model No. | Min Height | Max Height | Folded Height | Net Weight | Sections | Tube Diameter (mm) | Leg Size | Payload | Packing | Footprint Ø |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TMFC-2850 | 1810 mm / 71" | 2710 mm / 107" | 1655 mm / 65" | 24 kg / 52.8 lbs | 2 | 50 / 60 | 30×30 mm | 50 kg / 110 lbs | 1 pcs | 2260 mm / 89" |
| TMFC-3950 | 1600 mm / 63" | 3950 mm / 156" | 1690 mm / 67" | 28.7 kg / 63 lbs | 3 | 40 / 50 / 60 | 30×30 mm | 40 kg / 88 lbs | 1 pcs | 2000 mm / 79" |
All measurements include standard 28 mm spigot and foldable tripod base. Payload ratings represent safe working load with properly balanced fixtures.
The HAFE Solution
The TMFC Series isn't just a stand - it's the core of a faster, safer rigging workflow. By replacing the muscle‑powered climb of traditional steel stands with a self‑locking crank drive, HAFE eliminates pinch points and operator fatigue. Simply fold out the oversized 30×30 mm legs, secure your fixture on the heavy‑duty steel spigot, and spin the ergonomic handle. The multi‑section telescopic column rises silently and stays exactly where you put it, allowing a single technician to handle loads that would otherwise demand a team. Combine TMFC stands with HAFE's grip heads and mounting plates to create a fully integrated elevation ecosystem.
Key Advantages
- Precision Worm‑Gear Crank - Self‑locking mechanism ensures zero slip or drift, even under off‑center loads.
- Staggered Tube Diameters - Progressive steel sections (60→50 mm on TMFC‑2850, 60→50→40 mm on TMFC‑3950) optimise stiffness‑to‑weight ratio without compromising stability.
- Genuine Heavy‑Payload Confidence - 50 kg on the two‑section, 40 kg on the three‑section - real numbers that hold up through hours of continuous use.
- Compact Folded Footprint - The tripod base collapses to a transport length of less than 1.7 m, fitting easily through standard doorways and into grip trucks.
- All‑Steel, All‑Business - No plastic locking collars, no flex. Built for rental‑house durability and decades of service.
- Oversized Footprint for Peace of Mind - A base diameter of up to 2.26 m keeps the centre of gravity low, even at full extension.
Application Scenarios
| Scenario | Why TMFC fits |
|---|---|
| Studio Lighting Grid | Crank a 2.5K HMI or large softbox to trim height without ever breaking the stand. |
| Location Broadcast | Single operator raises a teleprompter or fill light on uneven terrain - the wide stance absorbs ground irregularity. |
| Film Set Overheads | Suspending butterfly frames, green screens, or booms is fast and safe with the self‑locking gear drive. |
| Virtual Production Volumes | Reliable, repeatable height marks for LED volume ceiling fixtures; no marker drift between takes. |
| Event & Rental Fleets | Steel build tolerates constant setup/teardown cycles; simple maintenance keeps downtime near zero. |
Structural Comparison
| Feature | TMFC-2850 (2‑Section) | TMFC-3950 (3‑Section) |
|---|---|---|
| Design Philosophy | Maximum rigidity for medium‑height, high‑payload tasks | Extended reach while keeping folded length manageable |
| Tube Profile | 60 mm → 50 mm | 60 mm → 50 mm → 40 mm |
| Max Elevation | 2.71 m - ideal for key lights and midsized modifiers | 3.95 m - perfect for overhead frames and high‑angle backlights |
| Payload Priority | 50 kg - built for dense, heavy fixtures | 40 kg - optimised for larger modifiers with slightly lighter heads |
| Folded Transport Length | 1655 mm | 1690 mm (only 35 mm taller) |
| Base Diameter | 2.26 m - extremely wide for ultimate stability | 2.00 m - wide enough for 3.95 m reach, still compact indoors |
Both stands share the same premium crank assembly, the same robust 30×30 mm leg profile, and the same relentless steel DNA - you simply choose the height‑capacity balance your job requires.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What mounting stud does the stand include?
A: Every TMFC stand comes with a dual‑purpose steel spigot (28 mm junior receiver plus a 16 mm baby pin top) as standard. It accepts virtually all professional light fixtures, grip heads, and mounting plates straight out of the case.
Q: Can the crank be operated safely with an unbalanced load?
A: The worm‑gear design is self‑locking by nature. Even if you release the handle mid‑crank, the column holds its position. However, always centre your payload over the base for best results and to respect the safe working load.
Q: How do I maintain the steel tubes and crank mechanism?
A: Wipe down the telescoping sections with a clean, dry cloth after use in dusty or wet environments. Apply a light dry lubricant to the drive gear annually or after heavy salt‑air exposure. The sealed bearing assembly requires no routine greasing.
Q: Is the stand suitable for outdoor use on rough terrain?
A: Absolutely. The wide footprint and rigid steel legs handle grass, gravel, and pavement equally well. For extremely soft ground, use optional HAFE footprint cups (available separately). If conditions include high wind, always secure the stand with ballast bags on the leg braces.
Q: Can I attach wheels or casters?
A: The tripod base accepts standard grip industry casters with a 30 mm axle bore. Adding wheels allows fully loaded repositioning across the studio floor - a favourite trick of key grips on fast‑moving sets.
Why Choose HAFE
HAFE stands aren't born on a spreadsheet - they're forged in the feedback of cinematographers, gaffers, and rental‑house technicians who refuse to compromise. Every TMFC crank stand undergoes a full load‑cycle test before it leaves our factory. The steel comes from certified mills, the weld seams are dressed and inspected, and the crank drive is hand‑spun to guarantee that signature buttery‑smooth feel. When you invest in a HAFE stand, you're getting more than a piece of hardware - you're joining a support ecosystem backed by genuine spare parts availability, responsive technical support, and a community that values reliability over marketing fluff.
TMFC Series: Heavy loads. Light work.
