The SPIG - Camera Gear Cart Light Stand
Using a gear cart as a light stand
The SPIG converts a painters pole into a light stand when you don't have the benefit of an assistant. My camera bag was used as ballast to steady the set-up and to reduce spill from the red gelled flash my Passport Colour Checker!
This set-up also works with a umbrella up to about 40" and soft box up to 80cm square - wind is a consideration when working like outside, so the heavier the load, the more ballast weight required!
The SPIG will be available shortly, I'm currently awaiting the arrival of new stock.
That's it for now and don't forget if you really enjoy lighting to visit and join The LIGHT Side - a place to learn, be mentored, nurtured and learn about lighting, lighting and photography, whatever your level or experience.
