I'm always impressed with how you can McGyver something into what you actually want. Thanks again for your generosity to the community Mr. Markus. Congratulations to all those that are fortunate enough to get some of the 'give-aways'.
Mark, i just want you to know, i appreciate your videos. I have a problem where im always on the hunt for the smallest lightest light stands and lights, cameras, etc. Your videos have always been a huge help.
Markus, you're having TOO MUCH FUN! Good review. Air travel and COVID being what they are these days, we're staying close to the hacienda and four wheels so gear weight is a non-issue.
I love that you buy all of these so we don't have to! Thank you for the giveaway. I have a lot but am also purging and donating to make room for a new tripod. That ProMaster would be perfect!
You can't stop to amaze me! And I thought that I was the weird guy who had too many sticks and tripods lol. VERY IMPRESSIVE! I also love searching for the most lightweight and compact solutions, like you showed in your video. Those Ulanzi MT-54/44 are great. My latest happy catch was "Ulanzi P002 160cm Metal selfie stick" which is so durable and easy to use. That long stick up to 3m I actually don't like as sometimes it locks itself in compact or spreaded position, and you have to put a lot of force to be able to change the length. Maybe I was just not lucky with the quality of my particular stick. But I have another version with a different system, not that light, but it's easier to use. Thank you for showing as in the last video the trick of combining a few sticks together. I have the same small stick as you do, and it was out of use as it's too small. Such a brilliant idea to stick the sticks together! BTW my set-up is also very compact. All fits into my very small backpack. I will research more options which I saw in this video to extend my collection even more. Thanks again and keep on rolling!
@@davidpearson2039if it wasn’t for the noise, you know that would be next. I can picture carrying three of those, putting a marker in place, throwing them up in the air, and they auto align on that position.
Our Insta360 stands have a huge threaded weight at the bottom of the stand. It can be removed or left on. It is amazing and keeps the tripod stand firm in windy conditions.
I was looking for a creative outlet after serious injury. I found Marcus who combines creativity, competence and heart. Thanks for very valuable information, Marcus.
You’re a diamond. Nearly got me converted, now looking at lights and stands and I’ve never used them before because I’m lazy. Next thing you’ll get me looking at is tripods.
lmao you still post lightstand videos, absolute legend. I really gotta try one and see if its stable enough for my 1.5 kg setup, would be a really nice space saver if it works.
I love how excited by this you are! I get so happy about making my kit smaller and smaller over time. Just picked up a kit with two Godox ML30bicolor lights and one ML60bicolor for the times I need to bring an interview/portrait kit as a carryone. Light stands like these are the final hack I need to complete the kit. Let's say you're shooting indoors - would you trust one of these stands to hold up a two- or three-foot Godox-mount softbox?
That 3/8ths to 1/4 auto adapter is pretty interesting, I’ve never seen that done before. I can’t imagine that being terribly robust, but it’s very clever.
Hi Marcus. Ulanzi MT54 61" Selfie Stand looks cosmic, we do not sell such. Cool stuff. And the tripod Promaster XCM-525C Tripod is modern, but it's really heavy for light rides. Cool review as always. Good health to you and Kara!!!
nice video, but if you want a all in one, try a Sirui monopod, it has the legs, a ball head and the extension capacity (the top plate and tabletop tripod connect with qr sockets, so can add multiples of the stick together to add height).
cool. I use sometimes the #270pro selfie stick, which is quite long and collapses nicely. As base I used the Leofoto MT03, very small :) thanks for showing us Markus
😁Now that I ordered a Olympus PEN E-P7 I need one or two compact ight stands for traveling. Your videos give a few ideas on how to achieve that. Thank you very much ❤😊
@markuspix Do you think these would hold those mini AD200 soft boxes you showed in a previous video? I love using them a lot. Totally love your mini travel setups. Helps me a lot for all my travels to anime conventions.
No I dont think these could hold any softboxes, even small ones. That would require an actual light stand, but it could be a really lightweight carbon fiber one like I showed in a previous video
Don't ever use modifier with these setup. It works great with plain ad100/200 as the center of mass isn't that far out. Put something to lengthen the flash, you just make whole setup imbalance
Markus, this is absolutely amazing. I have one question. I just purchased the PellKing Invisible Selfie Stick and I want to know which ball head or a simple head you recommend to attach this to an AD200? Any suggestion will be very helpful. Thanks and please keep on producing these content as my photography life will be so much better without having to take all the heavy equipment. :)
Hey markus, have you ever try to mounting battery on the light stand using crab clamp like in your colbor cl60 video? Or do you have any recommendation of small and lightweight COB light with these light stands assembly?
Where does one go to enter your giveaways? Many Thanks for doing what you do! I have bought many of your recommendations with your links! Especially the Fotopro X Aircross 3 lite tripod! It is now my favorite tripod! (out of many that I own)
Its no less stable than any other lightweight light stand. If there is a breeze just weight down the legs with something. A tiny AD100 doesnt catch wind like a softbox
The point is kids be creative. If you are a in the creative fields, apply that to ingenuity. But lets face it - it takes thousands of dollars sometimes to get set up for a good portable system. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to get an in shop system going.
Don't want to be greedy but I still can not enter these giveaways, I still get error 1062 already entered, but I have not entered? Anyway to check that on your side? I really do appreciate what you do and try to live my own life as you do. Pay it forward as much as I can
Just an all-around great guy who shares helpful tips, tricks and tools to us. Thank you so much, Markus!

Loving these tiny light stand videos! Super useful in my quest to create the perfect lightweight backpacking setup. Thanks Markus.
Markus, you're having TOO MUCH FUN! Good review. Air travel and COVID being what they are these days, we're staying close to the hacienda and four wheels so gear weight is a non-issue.
Love it! I have been testing the same concept using mic boom poles + tripod legs as light stands.
You are the master of small and light.
I love that you buy all of these so we don't have to!
Thank you for the giveaway. I have a lot but am also purging and donating to make room for a new tripod. That ProMaster would be perfect!
It looks like you enjoy every aspect of life. 😊
I try. Might as well

thanks for showing us more stands. can't get enough!
Really appreciate these light stand videos! As another solo creator they're super helpful for me.
i love your enthusiasm for this topic. i like trying to find compact setups as well, definitely gonna give some of these a shot
HI Markus, I won the set of 4 extension poles! I'll put them to good use for sure! Thanks so much!
love this ideas, the flexible pole was something else
Markus is gonna discover an antigravity device. Just to be able to make his lights float in the air...
Hmmmm. Maybe a small drone could hold the 100???
Ahahahah
@@davidpearson2039if it wasn’t for the noise, you know that would be next.

Love your sense of humor. It is light for which you don’t need a a standard.

It's crazy that that little bit goes to 7 feet!

Love this vid and the passion you have for it👍
❤❤❤ your videos! Thanks for taking the time to do them! I'm learning so much!
Another great video! Thanks!
Thank you for this video review, really helpful. I like all your videos anyway, wonderful job every time 👍👍👍
Always love the videos helped me out a lot with your thoroughness in all the fun accessories
Cool new things. You bring it every time. Thanks!

You're just a Mr. Gadget when comes to creative light stands.
great idea! i never thought of this before!
Brilliant!
If you do want a diffuser there’s some handheld ones with a screw hole on the handle.
TY
Thanks!

love the videos but I hate them because I need all these stands now!
Thanks, Markus. I was looking for a small lightweight lightstand and saw this video. Excellent info.
most informative videos on TH-cam. From real life. Thank you Markus!
Awesome videos, great info Markus.
I use similar set-ups for video shoots. Small LED lights like the IVISII G2 Pocket RGB Camera Light or similar. Self contained battery lights.
I enjoyed watching this.
I guess I can use my Insta360 9.8ft selfie stick, and add the standard 3.7ft selfie stick :)
Scratch that. The long selfie stick is not stable enough. It cannot really hold the weight. :(

Super bro
nice video, but if you want a all in one, try a Sirui monopod, it has the legs, a ball head and the extension capacity (the top plate and tabletop tripod connect with qr sockets, so can add multiples of the stick together to add height).
The monopod weighs a lot more and doesn't collapse into something that fits into a purse
I do similar compact kits for my photography. Thanks. toronto canada
cool. I use sometimes the #270pro selfie stick, which is quite long and collapses nicely. As base I used the Leofoto MT03, very small :) thanks for showing us Markus
The 270 is one of the ones I'm giving away. Yes it's really light, but each section has to be fully pulled out before it can be tightened.
@@MarkusPix yeah ist a bit fiddly
Oh my god thank you. Yer amazing
😊
Thank you Markus!! Can you please provide the link/brand name of the flex extension rod?
the flex extension rod comes with Nineigh 85” seflie stick tripod stand www.amazon.com/dp/B0C278N9QS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

@@MarkusPix I appreciate the response! Are you referring to this lightweight Godox AD-S7 Multifunctional Soft Box?
That would be really pushing it. These ultralight stands are meant for just the flash.

I just purchased the PellKing Invisible Selfie Stick and I want to know which ball head or a simple head you recommend to attach this to an AD200? Any suggestion will be very helpful. Thanks and please keep on producing these content as my photography life will be so much better without having to take all the heavy equipment. :)
AS200 is too heavy for a ballhead. Use the bracker that comes with it

How do you feel about the Lumecube 5-foot Adjustable Light Stand? I have it measured at 154cm, its about 34 Cm collapsed 534 grams as the weight.
I try to get 7 ft at no more than 453 grams
Better be calm winds. I need/want the AD100 PRO. I LUV my AD200 PRO. You see the new Mag Mod stuff? kinda bulky
I am not comfortable with any of these stands anywhere outside.
@@TimHunold I wouldn't be comfortable even inside tbh, even in an empty vacuum room with no model and no photographer 😀
Do you ever have any issues taking the Pellking in carry-on luggage?
no. What would they be afraid of? "Look out! He has a selfie stick!!!"
I have godox 300 - which set up you recommend for that one?
Sell that and get ad200
I like the setups but what happens when this $300 light falls? I would be afraid to put it on anything so unstable.
Its no less stable than any other lightweight light stand. If there is a breeze just weight down the legs with something. A tiny AD100 doesnt catch wind like a softbox
@@MarkusPix Thank you so much, every one of your videos is so helpful!
The point is kids be creative. If you are a in the creative fields, apply that to ingenuity. But lets face it - it takes thousands of dollars sometimes to get set up for a good portable system. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to get an in shop system going.
Any good light weight stand recommendations for godox ad300 pro?
Depends how compact you want. The cheapest, lightest most dependable ones for the price are Impact LS6 (6 ft), LS8 (8 ft) or LS 10 (10 ft)
Are the Aoka and Neewer tripods the same product just rebranded? They look almost exactly the same
They do look very similar but are slightly different.
@@MarkusPix Is the Aoka worth the extra money?
Yahoo
Wind enters the chat,,.
Will any of these hold an amaran 60d without risking it?
They could *IF* it was indoors and nobody touched it.
@@MarkusPix thanks. I’m getting more and more fond of your channel!
Thanks. Remember again not to try this outdoors when there is a breeze
@@MarkusPix will do!
