I saw a YouTube that popped up on my feed with this amazing looking Camera stand, I instantly though I need one of these and jumped over to B&H to see if they have them WTF.........there selling for £3200
The name of it is the Studio Titan Camera Stand.

Is there something else out there that is sturdy tried and tested and doesn't cost an arm and a leg, or just stick the camera on a tripod?
Thanks

Neil

Yes I saw that one this morning on B&H. They also had another one that looked fantastic with great reviews, but with shipping and import tax/duties it was going to still be over a £1000 quid. I'm just doing this as a hobby so im thinking tripod will be good enough

If you really wanted a stand, you could build something with a plasterboard prop, a magic arm and a good tripod head for a couple of hundred quid.

One of these

Ceiling Support

Working with larger boards on your own? Using this ceiling support prop is invaluable when carrying out one-person installation jobs on ceilings and inclined areas.The telescopic prop can be adjusted from 1.6m to 2.9m and is strong enough to support loads of up to 30kg. A simple pump mechanism...

Obviously ToolStation probably don’t deliver to Thailand but you might find one on Ali Express

Also the plasterboard prop will come in handy to hold up the plasterboard you're using to mend the hole you punched in your ceiling with the plasterboard prop! :banana:
 
I can't help you because of the shipping cost to Thailand, but I have one that I really ought to sell now that I'm retired.

It's old but much more substantial, it goes from about 6" to 10'.
I saw the same model on eBay a couple of years ago, they were asking £1000 and I think that was way too much, perhaps £600 would be a realistic price, so I think the one you listed is far too much.

But, those are the negatives; the positives are that they are incredibly quick to use and adjust, they are far safer than a tripod, simply because when the camera has to be used at height with a stepladder or similar, there are no legs to get in the way. From memory, the minimum height is about 6" inches, but flip over the bit that the camera sits on and the camera can be used upside-down from floor level.

Okay they have many here in Thailand from £50 up. I haven’t had a good look yet but I’m sure I can get one. I quickly looked at the magic arm and Small Rig have them here also £50 up. When I get home I will delve in deeper and try and get something that will work well together.

After reading this Gary. I will definitely get a camera stand and not use the tripod. Thanks
