Light stands.

[Chaz Photos]

I need a few light stands, it for portability use. I bought some online e-bay but I found them to be much too lightweight.
What I need is something not too heavy and reasonably priced any one help what you got and where from oh price?
Thanks

I have old Masters stands on wheels in studio and
these on location as they handle sand bags well.

Depends what you want to put on them.

I use Manfrotto nano stands (and cheaper copies of them) for speedlites. Lightweight is good for quick and dirty location stuff, the lighter the stand the better, just chuck a bag on it to stop it falling over.

For larger lights and modifiers I use heftier spring cushioned stands that go up to around 9 feet. Most of mine are Weifeng 806, I think they're rebranded and sold by various others. Nothing fancy, but they do the job I need them to do. I got them as I know someone who imports them, so got them on the cheap.

I love the Lencarta light stands - great quality and reasonable priced.

I have cheap Amazon Light stand and a Boom arm

I use these filled with 2 KG of rice - placed across the legs, holds them down a treat

I have Lencarta stands but they are heavy when I am on location so I tend to take this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/ibn/Phot...justable-4-Section-Photo-Aluminium/B00MOM1T02 it's just that bit lighter but strong enough to do what I want. That said, IF the car is close by and I am in one location then I do use the Lencarta's

My best all rounder is this air-cushioned stand by Polaroid: https://goo.gl/LE7efr.

I paid much less than that, though.

Definitely consider an air-cushioned stand. I badly damaged a finger with an ordinary one and I'm not alone.
