A portable light includes an elongate body having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a longitudinal axis extending through the first and second ends, and a locking recess between the first end and the second end. The portable light further includes a movable handle that is movable between a first position and a second position along the longitudinal axis of the elongate body, the movable handle defining a grip axis that is parallel to and offset from the longitudinal axis of the elongate body. The portable light further includes an actuator positioned on the movable handle, the actuator operatively coupled to a locking pin that selectively engages the locking recess.
