Title: mic/light stand with adjustable legs - looking for recommendations
Post by: papabliss on March 17, 2025, 09:05:28 PM

Any recommendations on a good stand for outdoors that has adjustable/leveling leg(s)?  Some upcoming festivals have sloping hillsides so I need to be able to keep things level.

I'm regretting letting my old Bogen go. That thing was great. :banging head:

Whatever the new version is of this one - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1074706-REG/photek_ls_8122_3_section_10_folding_light.html (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1074706-REG/photek_ls_8122_3_section_10_folding_light.html). This particular model is discontinued but there's bound to be a new model number that does the same things.

Reverse folding legs and each leg has an extension with a rubber foot. Best stand I've had for one that goes 10 feet high.

I use a Promaster LS-CT, which is basically a newer version of the stand linked above. I love it, and don't really have anything negative to say about it. With a telescoping extension you can get up to 10-12 feet.

I'm a photographer, so I just use my tripod and a mount adapter and mount the extension pole onto that.  Packs down really small when you spit them up and gives me way more options than a light stand.  I can mount the thing an inch off the ground if I want or 10' high.  Super solid too.

I'll also often take a spare ball head and latch it into a super clamp and then mount an extension off of that with the adapter.  Gives me a lot of rotational options.

I like that idea! It would have been very handy when I was traveling at the the beginning of the month.
