According to their website you guys are a local retailer. Do you have these in stock and what is the price on them?

Thanks!

I have seen HCE reps on this forum before, but I don't recall an Arlington Camera rep posting here. Maybe I just missed it.

It was my understanding that Calumat owns the Red Wing line I will check and get back with you.

Pete,

It is my understanding from others that these Kwik Stands are better quality than the Redwings. I looked at these stands at the TPPS Fall Seminar and they are very nicely made.

I would give them a call. I bet they would stand behind them and let you return them if you didn't think that they are what you wanted.

Rick Hall, the owner of the company lives in Rockwall. I believe Redwing went defunct and nobody was making the product so Rick got the plans and improved the product and is having them made in China. The stands are awesome.

Yeah, I spoke with AC and was told they no longer carry the Kwik-Stands (even though they are listed as a local retailer). So I will find their number and call....

Thanks all!

I know Rick and will contact him to see if we can get a special TPF discount. Who wants one of the Light stands besides Pete?

I am familiar with Rick Hall and we have an order in for the Kwik-Stands but I have not heard back form him I believe they are still in manufacturing. I have not heard back from the order a few weeks ago I will call Rick and ask. I did not know he had his site up and running. Sorry

We no longer carry Quick Stands as in Red Wing Quick stands. This has been the mistake we placed the order while Rick was in our store shopping and he told us about the product that he was developing so Bill the owner agreed to buy the product before he saw it. I am sure Rick will deliver them soon. I will post after we talk to him.

Rick had sample stands at the Fall Seminar in San Antonio on the 15th and to me they seemed to be an improvement over the original Red Wing Product. I never owned one of the originals because I like a taller stand, but I do like the design. Rick is looking for the first shipment to arrive mid November.
