Pretty neat. I have ones that are low to the ground for back lighting models.

Yours seem very useful as long as you don’t have wind!

I mean as long as a there’s not a brisk wind blowing!

Wind is why god created sand bags!

An unaltered lightstand.

Collapsed to 13.5 inches, fully extended it is 46.5 inches.

Perfect to put in a backpack!

I used to have those exact stands 40 some odd years ago. I bought them when I started out with a couple of photo flood bulbs in dishes. Probably came as a kit - I can’t remember. Later on I used Manfrotto Nano Stands for portability and backlights, for their superior build. Brings back memories

My Sherpas will love them, LOL!

I wonder how big a box the can hold. I gues one can use water filled bottles to weigh down the base?

Not required at all.

That would completely defeat the purpose!

Asher are you going to volunteer to carry the two jugs of water every time I shoot?
