Light stand for speedlight and 60 x 60 softbox

[scottduffy]

Hi Guy's,

I was wondering if someone could please recommend me a good light stand that can reach to say around 8 foot in height. I've finally decided on a softbox and now i need a good stand to put it on. I will be taking this out on location so something that will cope with being carried about and possibly banged a few times.

Regards

Scott

I just got the Lastolite Ezybox Kit and I think this is the stand you get with it...

Seems very sturdy and solid.

Hi Terry,

Just out of curiosity how have you found the Ezybox? I have agonised for weeks over the Ezybox and Westcott Apollo and finally i've found this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002W9G8VM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AYKQOU01L2ZM5 and i'm going to order it asap. I just need a decent stand to place it on.

Regards

Scott
