I saw some pictures the other day of Kylie Minogue during a photo shoot on a beach. What caught my attention was the photographers assistant was using a battery pack and head and had the head (Broncolor) on a very shot pole with a rubber/foam hand grip and would love to know where I can find one of those. Any ideas rather than using a full sized stand folded up.

I don't think I would have managed any appreciation of the ancillary equipment TBH.
 
I must admit it was a good part of my interest in the image but being a lighting gear addict it did hold my interest for longer.
 
Thanks for the suggestion but it looks smaller than that but hard to tell. This is the image I saw attached.
 
I've used a monopod with a screw to spigot adaptor. The only thing missing would be a foam grip at the bottom, but you could attach one if you liked.

Lots of cheap portable heads come with one of those.

It doesn't look like a cheap kit handle, especially as its attached to a MobiLED head plus brolly but I might wrong. I've seen the cheap thin light stands and this picture doesn't look like one of those to me.

No worries, people get misunderstood all the time in forums and normally the cause of a major flare up. Your idea of the monopod was great but I was after a solution with some form of native lighting spigot however, I appreciate your input.
