My searching on Google hasn't helped me find what I'm looking for so I'm hoping someone here can help me. For weddings and events I have been using my Konig KN-LS 10 - 2 metre high light stands to mount bare speedlights, They are great, being the lightweight type of stands having a small footprint which stops people tripping over them too much, however thing is I need them to be 2.5 or 3 metres ideally however the only light stands I can find that go this high seem to be the heavy duty light stands with a huge foot print. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a taller Konig or light duty lightstand equivalent?

Cheers!
 
Interfit COR751 springs to mind, I'm not a fan of these stands but they're both light and pretty tall at 2.65m max extension. The legs add about 20cm to the diameter compared to your Konig.
 
Thanks guys, I'll have a look. I have a set of clips with a spigot on them for a strobist cold shoe which are useful, but can't always clip them to something. I think the autopole isn't an option but a flipping great suggestion all the same. Will have a look at the interfit.

Cheers!
 
If you don't mind the weight and cost then a C stand is going to be the best bet, smaller footprint and it won't flop all over the place at max extension unlike those lightweight stands.
 
Thanks again for the links and ideas. Fully aware that a bigger footprint is normally the thing when you go taller and end to hide these behind tables, the DJ, stuff like that. Putting one out in the open somewhere is just a risk assessment fail!
