'Universal Caster Wheels For Light Stands & Studio Booms' Anyone tried them?

[russellsnr]

Hi, As I already have 4 light stands really do not want to buy more so looking at a way make at least one stand portable (On Wheels) and found on a certain auction site 'Universal Caster Wheels For Light Stands & Studio Booms'.
At around £23.39 (Not sure about the 39P) they seem a good option but anyone here tried them please?
Thanks.

I have a set of braked calumet wheels on a c stand and the quality appears fine.

Better than Tescos anyway.

Watching with interest. I'm after wheels for a boom with 20mm square section legs, but I want supermarket size wheels.

Calumet ones work pretty fine. They contain little slip-in portions to create a tight fit on generic stands

Hi, Looked at the Calumet site and sent an email requesting postage to Greece for three casters.
Just to show how absolutely stupdid of the British retail industry is I post the answer. "Unfortunately, the shipping charge to Greece is non-negotiable at £42.00"
I can get a one way Easyjet flight from Gatwick to Rhodes for £31.49 with just hand luggage.
Worlds gone mad!!!

Checked out the German site for Calumet and there P&P is "We supply every webshop order within Germany and to other EU countriesfree shippingvia DHL or UPS Standard."
Yep the worlds gone mad!!

The fault probably lies with their courier more than Calumet.
