[QUOTE="Mike Smith, post: 114833, member: 152"] Re: Tripod stand question Hi John, If you want to go lightweight, look at the Ultimate Support stands. The TS-88 is about 8' tall and you can add the LTV-24 extender to gain an additional 2' of height. For T-bars, the standard solution would be the LTB-48, which is 4' in length and thick-walled so that you can clamp to it directly. If you intend to mount only one or two fixtures, you can use the LTB-24, a pair of side-arms intended to add a second row beneath the top bar. Put the short bar through the T-clamp sideways and it becomes a 2' top bar. They are sold as a pair, so you'd need only one pair per two tripod stands. USS stands will sway a bit, depending on bumps and wind and whatnot, but are very stable and reliable.
