tompickering Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 <p>Like using natural light and reflectors to take pictures. Often have an assistant there to hold the reflector - usually my kid (deep into amateur territory here guy!) - he's very helpful and its a great way to bond as a father / son.</p> <p>However I've been doing some art nude / implied photos recently. Now I know he'd love it and it would be educational but I dont fancy taking the trip to social services and having to explain to the judge; so my usual assistant is out of the question. What I need then is a decent stand.</p> <p>Anyone recommend good manufacturers / product lines? I've got a couple of the 5 in 1 type collapsable reflectors I like but I'm happy to buy more rigid stuff if needed.</p> <p>Done a google and found nothing so I hope you dont mind me asking.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devon_mccarroll Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 <p>You can put any reflector holder like Howard's link on any regular lightstand. They come in all price ranges.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_m Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 <p>if you dont need an 'arm', you can simply spring clamp the reflector to the top nub of a basic lightstand</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonnalos Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 <p>I like the Impact lightstand/boom reflector holder combo that B&H sells. Reasonably priced, doubles as a tall light stand, reflector holder and will even serve as a boom for light weight things such as a speedlight.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertshults Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 <p>I also use boom arms that attach to standard light stands. Specifically, I use the Westscott Illuminator arm:</p> <p>http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/62235-REG/Westcott_1100_Illuminator_Arm.html</p> <p>On the other hand I always carry a number of different sizes of spring clamps, with which I can clip a reflector to just about anything.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
