Worth their weight in copper
5 Stars
Worth their weight in copper
These light stands seem to be very clever and well thought out design for a sturdy compact use. The legs are a bit short, so I added some 18" long 3/4" copper pipes to slip over the legs to extend them out a bit more, and also adds some base weight for stability. I even added a smaller 1/2" copper pipe inside them to add a little more weight. With the Vagabond battery pack strapped on they seem good to go, unless you have a light breeze to deal with. I was able to have both strobes, battery pack, pair of 50" umbrellas, leg extenders and such fit with this pair of stands in a compact Makita tool roller bag for quick easy portable set up. I now use a Peican case.
