Title: Just got air cushioned 13' light stand for $49
Post by: teajay on March 01, 2004, 07:56:38 AM: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=253065&is=REG

Impact 13' Air-Cushioned Heavy Duty Light Stand - Black, 13'
Regular $69.95 Used $49

Anyone ever use these stands before? Couldn't go wrong for the price.
Also bought two "C" type mic clamps for $9.99 each, much better than sonicsense's $25.

Gonna have to go the the hardware store and buy some aluminum to build an adjustable stereo bar. :)

Cheers,
Travis

WOW!! Where can I get me some of those? I've heard good things about these "hands"...

As you probably knew, I was wondering if you used a case or anything?

My AEA 15' stand fits into a bag you carry those fold out camp chairs in. One of my chairs broke and the bag fits the stand perfectly.

That's exactly how I used to carry my big-ass Bogen stand too. I bet we came to that idea the same way, carrying chairs and a stand to a festival when one chair breaks and having one of those Far Side "Say..." moments!

Copied from the specs on b&h's site:
"Attachment Size 5/8 in stud "

So i guess not :)
