A premier photography gear distributor headquartered in Munich, Germany, sought to refresh its lighting support line. They required a lightweight yet heavy-duty aluminum stand to satisfy both commercial photography studios and run-and-gun content creators across Europe.
- Strict Quality & Safety Certification: Compliance with European safety expectations regarding heavy studio gear.
- Versatile Range: A single series covering compact location shoots (2.1m) and full studio setups (3.0m).
- Reliable Logistics: Seamless DDP delivery to European distribution centers with zero customs friction.
HAFE supplied a mixed container load of TMY-1 (compact location stand) and TMY-3 (heavy-duty studio stand), providing full coverage for their retail catalog.
