Just an all-around great guy who shares helpful tips, tricks and tools to us. Thank you so much, Markus!

I'm always impressed with how you can McGyver something into what you actually want. Thanks again for your generosity to the community Mr. Markus. Congratulations to all those that are fortunate enough to get some of the 'give-aways'.

Markus, you're having TOO MUCH FUN! Good review. Air travel and COVID being what they are these days, we're staying close to the hacienda and four wheels so gear weight is a non-issue.

HI Markus, I won the set of 4 extension poles! I'll put them to good use for sure! Thanks so much!

It looks like you enjoy every aspect of life. 😊

I try. Might as well

I love that you buy all of these so we don't have to! Thank you for the giveaway. I have a lot but am also purging and donating to make room for a new tripod. That ProMaster would be perfect!

You’re a diamond. Nearly got me converted, now looking at lights and stands and I’ve never used them before because I’m lazy. Next thing you’ll get me looking at is tripods.

Mark, i just want you to know, i appreciate your videos. I have a problem where im always on the hunt for the smallest lightest light stands and lights, cameras, etc. Your videos have always been a huge help.

You are the master of small and light.

thanks for showing us more stands. can't get enough!

You can't stop to amaze me! And I thought that I was the weird guy who had too many sticks and tripods lol. VERY IMPRESSIVE! I also love searching for the most lightweight and compact solutions, like you showed in your video. Those Ulanzi MT-54/44 are great. My latest happy catch was "Ulanzi P002 160cm Metal selfie stick" which is so durable and easy to use. That long stick up to 3m I actually don't like as sometimes it locks itself in compact or spreaded position, and you have to put a lot of force to be able to change the length. Maybe I was just not lucky with the quality of my particular stick. But I have another version with a different system, not that light, but it's easier to use. Thank you for showing as in the last video the trick of combining a few sticks together. I have the same small stick as you do, and it was out of use as it's too small. Such a brilliant idea to stick the sticks together! BTW my set-up is also very compact. All fits into my very small backpack. I will research more options which I saw in this video to extend my collection even more. Thanks again and keep on rolling!

You're just a Mr. Gadget when comes to creative light stands.

i love your enthusiasm for this topic. i like trying to find compact setups as well, definitely gonna give some of these a shot

If you do want a diffuser there’s some handheld ones with a screw hole on the handle.

Another great video! Thanks!

Love this vid and the passion you have for it👍

lmao you still post lightstand videos, absolute legend. I really gotta try one and see if its stable enough for my 1.5 kg setup, would be a really nice space saver if it works.

love this ideas, the flexible pole was something else

Really appreciate these light stand videos! As another solo creator they're super helpful for me.

Loving these tiny light stand videos! Super useful in my quest to create the perfect lightweight backpacking setup. Thanks Markus.

Our Insta360 stands have a huge threaded weight at the bottom of the stand. It can be removed or left on. It is amazing and keeps the tripod stand firm in windy conditions.

Love it! I have been testing the same concept using mic boom poles + tripod legs as light stands.

I was looking for a creative outlet after serious injury. I found Marcus who combines creativity, competence and heart. Thanks for very valuable information, Marcus.

Markus is gonna discover an antigravity device. Just to be able to make his lights float in the air...

Love your sense of humor. It is light for which you don’t need a a standard.

It's crazy that that little bit goes to 7 feet!

Cool new things. You bring it every time. Thanks!

Always love the videos helped me out a lot with your thoroughness in all the fun accessories

This kid knows his beans!👍

I love how excited by this you are! I get so happy about making my kit smaller and smaller over time. Just picked up a kit with two Godox ML30bicolor lights and one ML60bicolor for the times I need to bring an interview/portrait kit as a carryone. Light stands like these are the final hack I need to complete the kit. Let's say you're shooting indoors - would you trust one of these stands to hold up a two- or three-foot Godox-mount softbox?

❤❤❤ your videos! Thanks for taking the time to do them! I'm learning so much!

That 3/8ths to 1/4 auto adapter is pretty interesting, I’ve never seen that done before. I can’t imagine that being terribly robust, but it’s very clever.

Thanks for the tips!

Thank you for this video review, really helpful. I like all your videos anyway, wonderful job every time 👍👍👍

great idea! i never thought of this before!

Brilliant!

Thanks!

love the videos but I hate them because I need all these stands now!

TY

Awesome videos, great info Markus.

I enjoyed watching this.

Super bro

nice video, but if you want a all in one, try a Sirui monopod, it has the legs, a ball head and the extension capacity (the top plate and tabletop tripod connect with qr sockets, so can add multiples of the stick together to add height).

@MarkusPix

18 күн бұрын

The monopod weighs a lot more and doesn't collapse into something that fits into a purse

😁Now that I ordered a Olympus PEN E-P7 I need one or two compact ight stands for traveling. Your videos give a few ideas on how to achieve that. Thank you very much ❤😊

I use similar set-ups for video shoots. Small LED lights like the IVISII G2 Pocket RGB Camera Light or similar. Self contained battery lights.

I guess I can use my Insta360 9.8ft selfie stick, and add the standard 3.7ft selfie stick :)

No I dont think these could hold any softboxes, even small ones. That would require an actual light stand, but it could be a really lightweight carbon fiber one like I showed in a previous video

Don't ever use modifier with these setup. It works great with plain ad100/200 as the center of mass isn't that far out. Put something to lengthen the flash, you just make whole setup imbalance

Hey markus, have you ever try to mounting battery on the light stand using crab clamp like in your colbor cl60 video? Or do you have any recommendation of small and lightweight COB light with these light stands assembly?

The point is kids be creative. If you are a in the creative fields, apply that to ingenuity. But lets face it - it takes thousands of dollars sometimes to get set up for a good portable system. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to get an in shop system going.

Hi Marcus. Ulanzi MT54 61" Selfie Stand looks cosmic, we do not sell such. Cool stuff. And the tripod Promaster XCM-525C Tripod is modern, but it's really heavy for light rides. Cool review as always. Good health to you and Kara!!!

Its no less stable than any other lightweight light stand. If there is a breeze just weight down the legs with something. A tiny AD100 doesnt catch wind like a softbox
