Great info and tips Mr. Markus. Years ago I used to pack my stands in a pair of long 'tube socks' (one sock on each end). They were great in keeping from scratching up other items in the pack and when there's no big rocks, you can fill up the sock's with sand (or whatever is available) and drape them over the legs. Watching your B-Roll at the beach with all that sand reminded me of it. Great episode as always Sir!
Hi Marcus, I really like your video. A very good comparison, I prefer practical things, in terms of functionality. You are an amazing person. You are super with the Map! You did well. I love watching you.
Thank you for doing this comparison video it has certainly informed my decision on which light stand to add to my kits. Affordability and sturdiness are my top two requirements followed by weight for my studio kit. My field kit needs to prioritize height, weight, stability, and portability so your comparison video was dead on target for how I evaluate light stands! 😊
Classic Markus video, only someone with a true passion can dedicate this much time and effort to a subject like this and not do it for a paycheck. Thanks for everything you share
Your channel is just awesome! Full of useful information instead of cheap marketing talk.
Thank you for reviewing the ulanzi. Really love your videos!
Great knowledge and experience shown!! Probably have too many stands already so I'll skip the giveaway but thank you Markus as always!!
Light light stands. Great info as always.
Right now I have no interest in buying light stands but I always have interest in your unique and practical perspective on all camera gear. Your videos with topics I don’t have too much of an interest in always ends giving me new ideas in someway. Thanks for always producing fun, authentic content Markus!!
That's all that matters- creating sparks 🙂
Awesome review of the light stands, Good luck to the winners!
Appreciate the breakdown and reviews!
Great video and fantastic review for travel light stand always an issue and this really helps out....
I just picked up a Ulanzi MT 79 for $26. All aluminum compact foldable mono- tripod after watching this review. All the features you like for stability but easier to travel with. Thanks
Man many thanx it is a great help video!
A big thanks to you, because you inspire me alot in some "tricks" ...
Was waiting for this!
Rocks & String seem to be the main solutions 🐾🐾🐾 🐈
solid and very informative video!
Great tip.
Good information. Thank you.
Thank you for your review, Markus. Have you tried Phottix Padat Carbon 200? I really like them.
Love it
Bro thanks thanks and thanks for the info!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 wowww thanks for your time and god bless you i am going to buy a couple of tripods you mentioned in this video they are great👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very helpful
Отличный обзор! Спасибо за работу и за рейтинг в финале.
I use light tripods more than camera ones too 😁. They are more comfortable for traveling or when I go to a forest or park to do cool videos. 😎😋 🎥 📷
I use a pair of Manfrotto stands capable of 18" extended height. I use them for choir recordings and although not lightweight they are solid and safe for mounting my stereo microphones. I mention them here because they are actually converted light stands.
I use Interfit 4 section light stands. They weight 1.7kg (3.6lbs) and go to a maximum height of 8.5ft and look like the Impact LS8 with the same feet. I have never needed them any higher than about 6 and a half feet. I originally used them with Interfit F5 lights and softboxes but I now use Phottix Nuada S3 II Bi-Colour Video LED Lights and the stands work fine for those but I haven't yet used them outdoors with the Phottix lights, only indoors.
Those are way too heavy for me 😄
I've been using the Nissins since they came out. The impacts after a month of use got loose. The Nissins didn't. I use the 65 most. The 50 has an issue with the adjustable leg. It sinks with any weight. If you add a small rubber washer on the bolt it stops the sink and locks. They had 2 versions of that clamp. Hopefully they have a third now that fixed it. the promasters big benefit is indoors in tight quarters you can set it against a wall. The others won't allow leg adjustments to do that. Its just heavy and short. I wish they'd make a carbon one that is taller. But I always bring 1 or 2 for in suite shoots. The Manfrotto I had issues with stability so sent them back. Sirui has some new carbon ones that look interesting.
Hi Markus. I appreciate all the information you've put out over the years. Ingenuity and common sense. This is off topic but we are putting on a show in Las Vegas (Hunchbach) that needs a large caldron. Would you have a suggestion on how to create one? Thanks again.
Set companies carve them out of foam and then hard coat them with resin. Red Star foam on Charleston can make you anything you want out of EPS (styrofoam) and then you can hard coat it and paint it. They can explain the process to you.
@@MarkusPix Thanks so much for your reply. My best to you and your wife.
Hey Markus, not sure if you have one already but a video about lighting gear carrying cases and trolley bags would be awesome. I am currently struggling between finding cheap ones that won’t last at all like those Neewers and Godox or finding good looking choices but expensive like ThinkTank. There are some choices from Impact but have heard divided opinions. Cheers!

Nice !!! I would like one!!! Liked#16!!!
I have one of the Ulanzi's, got it on sale from Christmas season for $80. Price has shot up to $95 pm Amazon.
Thanks for the execellent review of all your favorite lightstands, Markus! I will like to bring to your attention a very rate compact design that is sturider than most other reverse-fold lightstands. The Selens MG-2200 has not one but three telescopic legs like the promaster LSCT but is much taller than the Promaster at any base radius.
The Selens is almost exactly like the Dracast th-cam.com/video/3R3Siev9Kow/w-d-xo.html but costs more and is pretty heavy, weighing over 3 lbs. The K&F 86" light stand is just as tall, but lighter and sturdier th-cam.com/video/ehnILrCzj5o/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Markus! Gonna get myself some of 'em Dracast!
I'll be giving some away in a few days, you can try your luck
Excelente 😎👍
How much does your opinion change when the light stands are set up so the feet are as wide as possible, rather than the stand being adjusted to be as tall as possible? More than a few times in this video, I couldn't help but wonder if the "flimsy" stands, were setup correctly.
I've always been taught that the bottom stabaliser should be set perpendicular to the ground, meaning the feet are as wide apart as possible.
Take for eg, the Manfrotto Carbon Nano Pole (13:40) - as you show it here, it is probably positioned a full 10 inches taller than it should be. Setting it up for the feet to have the widest possible base, rather than the tallest possible stand, is "more correct".
nice!
Cool.
(a) I never noticed a single light stand on those beach shots!
(b) The Nissans wobble due to flexure in the small diameter legs. The 55 is too small for a Profoto B10. The 65 will hold a B10, but only if the legs are flat and a camera bag or some other weight is used. Flat legs are a problem on non-flat surfaces. So use is limited.
Don’t need them but enjoy Markus
After your video Impact raises their price.
There is also a chinese one Called Fosoto FT-190.
hey Markus, I'm trying to find the best windproof mic solution for filming with a smartphone or gopro. I'm thinking of just getting a "Mini 3.5mm Stereo Sound Mike" from ebay for $3. What do you reckon ?
The mic doesn't matter as much as how you protect it and where you place it
th-cam.com/video/xLYpUKQ0gp8/w-d-xo.html
and th-cam.com/video/whuthtNchkI/w-d-xo.html
(by the way, you dont need a stereo mic as most devices are not stereo)
Do you ever use the extension head for the ad200 and ad600 to lower the center of gravity?
Or center of mass*
no. More crap to carry around
any chance you have experience with the Matthews 7'-5" Mini Extendable Reverse Stand?
They're great. But a lil heavy for travel and short.
@@mverick160 I've got one and I like it. But definitely it's pretty short and doesn't seem super strong. Like I wouldn't put my AD400 on it. I'd love to know how it compares to these recommendations.
Yo, how much for the rock? It seems to be a must use accessory lol
They're actually free 😜 Just put them back when done
I think I got an even lighter solution, a mini desk tripot plus a long 5meter pole. it can hold my phone in the air or a set a highlight with my mini rgb video light. it is definetly not stable and the smallest wind tip it over or make it swing.
of cause it does not it is not a true light stand, but at home I really used it for holding a light. outside i like to mount my phone on it and get a shot from above.
huraay on image stabilization
Hey Markus try using water bags instead of rocks you can bring them everywhere
Forget water bags th-cam.com/video/hz89VIMQZDY/w-d-xo.html
I gave mine away a long time ago th-cam.com/video/ckp1VHvlQdE/w-d-xo.html
When can we get to see Cara do that cute cartoon Hawaiian girl dance (in the outro)? :-)
You're like Willy Wonka, but with camera gear instead of chocolate lol. I do like your channel very much sir, I think you will catch the algorithm wave this year. Such a refreshingly unique review channel. The rest simply can't compete with you enthusiasm and actual tech obsession. If you did one or two shows about trending cameras you would be on top. But that would be selling out, then that defeats your uniqueness. SO don't do that, just do you
🙏
They all seem super sketchy to me
Been using the Impacts for over a decade th-cam.com/video/DsayrjO_-gk/w-d-xo.html
Remember, these are for TRAVEL and being lightweight. In the studio, I use more heavy duty ones
@MarkusPix thank you for sending that link. I love all your channels keep it up
A downside of being European, most of these, or any good ones are really hard to find
If only I could get a nickle every time someone used the word "gravity" incorrectly! Gravity is at best referred to direction, that is it! Nothing more, and hoping more text books can finish this correction.
i recently a 58cm backpack to put 2 cheap lightstands
light lightweight ..
