Junior Stands
Junior stands are stands that are used to hold up lights that use a junior pin. Most junior stands are combo stands since they have a baby pin in it as well. Combo is short for combination. Lights will use a junior pin when they are heavier and cannot be put on a baby stand safely. The junior pin itself is 1 1/8" in diameter and slides into the stand.
Uses
There are a number of different kinds of junior stands to achieve different heights. The stands we carry are:
- Runway stand
Very low rolling junior stand. Allows you to basically put a light on the floor and can be used with very heavy duty fixtures.
- Turtle stand
Slightly higher than the runway stand, but with no wheels.
- Dana Dolly Stand
Lower single riser low combo stand. The top has a notch to hold the dana dolly pipe brackets.
- Low Combo Stand
Used if you would like a lower height. Has 2 risers and is made of steel. Has a baby pin and a junior receiver, so it can do both baby and junior lights. Has a Rocky Mountain leg if you would like to level it on sloped terrain.
- Junior Combo Stand
This stand has 3 Risers, a Rocky Mountain leg, and has a baby pin and junior receiver. This stand is mostly used by electrics, but grips may take them and put lollipops in them to turn them into grip combos or use them with Shinny or Mirror Boards.
- Grip Combo Stand (Mini Mombo)
Same thing as a Junior Combo stand, but this has a lollipop built into it so you can grab flags. This stand is solely used by grips.
- High Rollers
Max height is 20' 9". Similar to a 3 Rise Combo Stand but with a low profile wider base with wheels. Usually used for overheads by grips. These stands can stem up higher than a 3 rise combo stand. This is because the stem is much taller so each riser is able to be taller.
- Mombo Combo Stand
Max height is 23.5'. Has 4 Risers and a Rocky Mountain leg. These will have a built-in lollipop on them and you will need to use a junior-to-baby adapter to put a baby pin on them.

Troubleshooting
Risers will often get bent. You can order the risers from American Grip and they can be fixed in house. It is possible to bend them back into place by rising the riser to where it is bent, push the stand at this bent portion and then try to slide it in and out.
Sometimes bolts will come out of the stands as well or the set screws will come loose, you just have to tighten them and add loc-tite.
