Discover exactly what comes in the SHAPE Montreal Combo Wheels Set of 3, including its locking system, brake feature, and compatibility with square-leg stands.
Quick answer
The SHAPE Montreal Combo Wheels Set of 3 contains three locking light stand wheels designed for square legs (1 x 1 inch), with steel components, non-marking wheels, and a progressive soft-brake system.
What the set includes
The SHAPE Montreal Combo Wheels Set of 3 (model MTELS) includes three complete wheel assemblies. Each wheel has a locking mechanism to secure it to the stand leg, a soft-brake system for controlled movement, and a non-marking wheel that won’t scuff clean indoor floors.
Compatibility considerations
These wheels are built for stands with 1 x 1 inch (25.4 x 25.4 mm) square legs. If your stand has round legs, a different size, or a different cross-section, the Montreal Combo Wheels will not fit. Measure your stand leg before ordering.
Trade-offs to know
The progressive soft-brake system is great for controlled positioning on smooth studio floors, but it may not lock firmly enough on steep or uneven outdoor surfaces. Also, because the wheels are designed for indoor use, they may wear faster on rough concrete or asphalt.
Decision rules for the SHAPE Montreal Combo Wheels
- Leg shape and size: Measure your stand leg. It must be square and exactly 1 x 1 inch (25.4 x 25.4 mm). If it is round or a different size, these wheels will not fit. Check your stand leg before ordering.
- Floor type: The non-marking wheels and soft brake are ideal for clean indoor studio floors. For rough outdoor surfaces, consider a different wheel set. Best for indoor use only.
- Brake system: The progressive soft-brake system allows controlled positioning. It does not lock the wheel in place—it slows movement. If you need a full lock, this set may not meet that need. Great for positioning, not for locking.
