compact heavy duty lightstands?

[blinkerz]

Im trying to find lightstands that are compact enough to store in my rollercase, no longer than the Konig Light Stands (70cm) collapsed. Is there any sturdy/thick stands where the legs spread out quite far to give support.

All the compact lightstands ive seen/got tend to be compact and skinny.. surely there must be some that are wider and more durable...

Konig Light Stands are great indoors without the wind and even used 86" octobox with a studio head and weighed down with the power pack.. but outside i doubt i could even use a medium size softbox...

Any suggestions...:shrug:

I don't know whether the Lencarta background stand is going to be high enough for you - it's designed specifially for low level use and only goes up to 70cm - but if it is high enough then it's probably perfect, because it has a heavy cast base with wheels, making it very stable, and takes apart easily for transport.
