Types of Studio Light Stands and When To Use Them | Lindsay Adler

You likely haven’t given too much thought to types of light stands until you realize you don’t have the right stand for the job! There are many different types of studio light stands available, and in this video, I cover the 4 most common types/categories for photographers. Let’s take a look! Floor Stands: Floor stands sit low to the floor and are perfect any time you need to have a light at a lower angle hidden directly behind your subject. I use floor stands primarily for two reasons. First, I use them when I need a fill light in front of my subject and below eye level to create clamshell lighting. Next, I use them when I want to light the background by centering a light behind my subject. Of course, there are other uses for a floor stand, but these are two of the most popular. Standard Stands: These are your regular, everyday, plain old traditional light stands. They are great because they can have multiple purposes and are relatively lightweight/portable. Use them to hold your main light, a background light, a fill light, you name it! Just make sure you don’t put really large or heavy modifiers on them! C-Stands: Whenever you need to support more weight or have more stability, a C-stand is a right choice. For example, if you have a heavier or larger modifier (ie: 5ft Octabox) or need to have a light boomed out the overhead of your subject, a C-stand with sandbags and counterweights will provide a significantly safer, sturdier choice than a standard light stand. The downside of a C-stand? They are definitely much heavier and less portable. Roller Stands: A roller stand is perfect any time you need to move the light around a lot in a scene. Typically I put my main light on a roller stand because it's on a wheel and can be moved quickly/easily while still being very stable. Larger roller stands are also an excellent choice if you need to have a much larger light boomed out over your subject. Bonus: My favorite mini boom stand is the Avenger D600. It gives me telescoping abilities (aka I can extend the stand further out) and is also sturdier without being too heavy/unwieldy like some full-size boom arms. Now that you understand the use of these floor stands, now let’s see all four categories in action. For this bts shoot I used the following: Main Light: Roller Stand with Beauty Dish + Grid Rim Light: C-stands with 1x4ft Strip Softboxes with Grids Fill Light: Standard Stand + Large Umbrella with Diffusion Background Light: Floor Stand + 10 degree grid SUBSCRIBE AND BE PART OF THE ADORAMA FAMILY: ➥    / adoramatv   __________________________________ Be the first to shop our great deals and sales by signing up for emails from Adorama! https://www.adorama.com/MyAccount/Log... __________________________________ ✘ PRODUCTS USED: Floor Stands: Manfrotto Carbon Fiber Nanopole Stand https://adorama.rfvk.net/oeXYn9 Standard Stands: Manfrotto 144” Air-Cushioned Light Stand https://adorama.rfvk.net/BXz7KL C-Stands: Avenger 10.76’ C-Stand https://adorama.rfvk.net/zaeYjM Roller Stands: Avenger High 14.10’ Roller Stand https://adorama.rfvk.net/0JxVYV Canon R5 https://adorama.rfvk.net/JxzdE Canon RF 24-105mm https://adorama.rfvk.net/q74XY Profoto D2 https://adorama.rfvk.net/qvB7y Profoto Beauty Dish + Grid https://adorama.rfvk.net/NJNOV Profoto 1x4ft Strip Softbox https://adorama.rfvk.net/4AdQn Profoto 10 Degree Grid https://adorama.rfvk.net/zv9Yx Profoto Large umbrella with Diffusion https://adorama.rfvk.net/bKGzg #lightstand #studiophotography #adorama __________________________________ ❐ LET'S GET SOCIAL ❏ ➥ Facebook   / adorama   ➥ Instagram   / adorama   ➥ Twitter   / adorama   ➥ Twitch   / adoramaxp   ➥ Adorama Music    / adoramamusic   ❐ MORE ADORAMA ❏ ➥ Shop https://www.adorama.com/ ➥ Blog https://www.adorama.com/alc/ ➥ Live Events https://www.adorama.com/g/42-live ➥ Create No Matter What https://www.adorama.com/g/create-no-m... ➥ Podcast https://www.adorama.com/g/adorama-pod... __________________________________ Photographer: Lindsay Adler    / adlerphotoworkshops   http://learnwithlindsay.com Video: Samuel Bouret   / samuelbouret   Hair: Niko Weddle Makeup: Joanne Gair __________________________________ THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!
