Title: What Light Stand for Speedlite/Flash please
Post by: Red Dove on July 29, 2009, 14:34
Need a new light stand for my Canon speedlite. Use Manfrotto/Bogen as a rule but looking at the Giottos range as they have air-dampened columns. Wondered if anyone could recommend or have any other suggestions. Budget around $150

I'm in London and we get royally shafted on price for Cameras and accessories compared to the US and Canada -  so I'm not going to get the same bargain on these sets. I'll definitely have a look at these though. Much obliged for the advice.
