in this episode we look at lights stands for use
in the studio Adorama TV presents
exploring photography with Mark Wallace
for you to learn innovative techniques fun shooting
a wide range of the time hi everybody wanting to another person and exploring
photography I Mark Wallace well
on photo on the go Joe McNally episode 129 he talked about
I light stands for location shooting talk about the difference between a
normal stand in the C stand
and his assessment was to use a seat and I can't agree more
in fact a long time ago when I started shooting in the studio I started with
normal light stands like this
now for different reasons than Joe I move to the C stand and eventually
a Baby Jr. triple riser in the reason for that is originally I started working
with normal
I like stands like this I found that when I started shooting a lot when I was
using these thing 67 times a week
I'm every single day throwing in an hour trucks and trailers that they were
wearing out
so the middle column here is and nice lightweight aluminum but it was bending
with being beaten up
so what happened was I can are the center column stopped working on me
and so that was a from a pain and then also they don't have the same kind of
flexibility
as a C stand or Baby Jr. triple riser and so I decided to stop using those teams the
Irish fans
and start using C span's I'm body is Mark Wallace
make sure you check out at Adoramas latest contest you could win some great prizes
and the nice thing about she senses are much beefier and as joe talks about in
his video
now you can put on this little boom arm right here
and you have a grip and you can do things with and the nice thing about
this
is these are actually a standardized size
that happen to coincide with your light
says the same as little panel light stand and so instead of using a little
group had like Joe did
I actually just threw my lights right on and the C stand like this
and it's ready to go and so I can move that about the reason I know is the
group had in the pen like joan is actually
I prefer the lights can articulate really well and so it's not really
necessary
but you still have that option if you want to use the other side with a little
pen on their see can articulate that as well and the problem with this
is want your light on there any maybe get a generator on their sandbagging and
the studio when you're trying to do multiple lighting setup during the day
is the start to get really heavy in fact if I show you
a set up to 30% done so here's a and be one had with this %ah pox in a sandbag
this thing ira it's about 10 15 20 30 pounds something like that
an Easter putting like for my six of boxes and large light modifiers are you
going into her knee and I know that is actually
got a hernia living like stands around so why did is I started to use
my CA stands just for grip what his grip grip things like flags in Scranton
reflectors and things like that
and this'll head-on here's call the group had because it actually has a
standardized
and a standard size and so great actually goes right in there
and sell for things like flags and screams you can put those wherever you
want
and it works great purse and bag on a second a move he can still move your
lights around
what I did is a move to the Baby Jr. triple riser from Matthews sought a way
Matthews stand second the reason I love these guys is
their heavy duty don't take massive use and they have wheels and the lock
so now you can roll those guys around comment reprise xf1
to 3 risers and this goes way up in the air
seem to different sizes and so you can put a lot of weight
really high in the air in then you can move it around without giving yourself
an economy back problems
can also get the smaller are shorter ones his will that be feared and these
we use for things are a bit lower to the ground
specifically televisions and Heather tables and so I have
and tender table over here that we've got set up in so you can use these guys
for all kinda different configurations I have come here
nothing you can do as you can use these like tinker toys that's why I love
Matthews stands so wishing I had this guy right here configured
with my ring flash and so what I've done here
is I have my ring flash set with a grip head annabella
brass extended their son got that there I have a full articulation so I can move
this
however I want to yield to move up and down to the side
so that's terrific in the months ago said I can just move it around
I've got my a pack your set with this man for a super clamp
and so the nice thing is you can use a mix and match different brands
this is a man for a super client with the you hook in net disclaims
right onto the the light stand there and you can put almost anything you want
now if you do this on a normal light stand you take me down too much it's
gonna crush
the center column but on your Matthews stands you can take it down as tight as
you want
is going to be rock solid can also get something like this
this is a little extension so if you want to after another pan out me for a
and a different light or reflector
you can actually stick this right understand it locks down
and now you've got essentially another Penn there too
adage light is great for butterfly light am and also for a clamshell lights or
use it that way
the other thing I wanna show you is and this is a fully
I loaded up ceased a Matthews here and this is for televisions we got
our studio view
is just got a normal amount so this is from tether tools and so use this when
I'm teaching our own show a client
we can do that we can roll this all over the studio and you can see the stands
are just
awesome and so I use my math is maybe junior triple riser stands
every single day by using because a really personal they will last for
ever and the other things you actually save money how is that
well if you buy in almost an well I found again is mention this earlier
they wear out over time size replacing those every couple years
well with your Matthew Stanzi will last you for
decades and if something falls apart on them these little parties will handle
something can be
replaced individually see how to throw the whole standout you can just get one
new part
can fix it and it keeps going for years and years and years so over time
this is actually going to be a lot less expensive
so there you have it my choice i'll I stand in the studio and on-location
are Matthew stands specifically Matthews
baby junior triple riser so I use every single day
