Same design, but it extends from 4 to 12 feet. When I'm working fast with a lighting assistant / wife, she can pop the light up to just about any height, but still rest the bottom of the paint stick on the ground. That way, the assistant doesn't have to hold the light up in the air.<br /><br />Of course, you can also mount a camera on it and pop it up in the air. I can easily get the camera 16 feet or more into the air and bring it down quickly, without dealing with clamps or thumb screws.<br /><br />Also, Kaycey Enterprises makes an adapter to attach standard lighting tools to a paint pole.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643941476178994356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-68733700381545681652009-10-27T11:17:42.941-04:002009-10-27T11:17:42.941-04:00A light stand is ultimately cheaper: It saves you...A light stand is ultimately cheaper: It saves you the cost of an assistant.<br /><br />But if you're going to use a paint stick, better to cut the frame of a paint roller for the post and keep the paint stick for dual use.<br /><br />A warm gel wouldn't hurt either.Mike Lynchhttp://mikelynchphoto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-40270357758281575042009-10-27T09:51:21.607-04:002009-10-27T09:51:21.607-04:00David, Great video on the recession flash!
