Next Step Up from C-stand?
by Bill Evelyn on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:23:02 pm

Hello,

I am searching for a slightly more robust stand than the C-stand, and would like some advice on what that might be.

I've been placing a Lowel Rifa 66 "softbox" on the end of a Matthews Baby Boom, which sits upon a Matthews C-stand, using this configuration over a table and I'm happy with the lighting results.
But, when I need to raise the softbox over six feet, it's too much weight on the C-stand, which bends too much for my comfort level.

What's a better stand to get that boom & light into the air without making the stand groan?

Thanks...
