TriCoast Portable Light Stand on Wheels - EASY and EFFECTIVE - 06-29-2009, 10:12 PM


We (TriCoast) got tired of our lights falling over in the wind so we developed this simple yet effective stand for our portable shooting.

We do not use the Vagabonds much - more the Denny's lights with the tiny zappack power source, when we do that we simply use a sandbag or bag of weights to replace the 20 pound vagabond.

The main thing here is no matter what equipment you use - this little set up allows FREEDOM in the outdoor setting when wireless flash units of Canon and Nikon are simply not enough.


The video is horrible I know, it was made it in about 10 mins (recording and editing) with my Canon G10 but it shows what I wanted it to.

Enjoy!

Anybody has any more info about this mod? Looks like a nice solution for shooting in the park as wheels are bigger.
