DIY Light Stand for home studio (holds camera too!) for $10

[@writelyons]

Welcome home, you have definitely been missed! Trust you are doing well and looking forward to seeing you regularly!

[@TheBendermen]

The Man. The Myth. The Legend. Welcome back!

[@alejoromero]

This comeback has been more celebrated than that of Batman, Superman, Star Wars and Star Trek together. Welcome back sir!!

[@whiphore]

Missed your videos! I hope this is a sign of you back

[@klingon540]

Nice to have you back.

[@tannerhoke]

I gasped when I saw your frugal face return. Welcome back

[@DGaryGrady]

Great to have you back!

[@websitesthatneedanem]

SCOTT!!!!!! You're Alive! - Great to see you man.... missed you.

[@buddyshearer4170]

Wohoo! Glad to see that you are still around!

[@LiveEasy]

Hey man. I just thought about you today and decided to check in. Just wanted to say you're a genuine hero of my early video career. Your ideas inspired me endlessly, making the hardware store like a second home. I wish I could show you some of the things I made back in the day. One light was made with a roasting pan, 2 power strips, and 8x100w bulbs w/ AC adapters. Another was a 4 port AC adapter in the bottom of a paint can with 4x100w bulbs, plus pieces of plastic and angle brackets to make barn doors. The latter one looked legit with black paint. Cheers man!

[@snocrushr]

Wow it's been a while, good to see you back 👍👍

[@MileyonDisney]

Long time, no see! WELCOME BACK! I hope all turned out okay in Alaska. Good to see you!

[@rdtradecraft]

Great to have you back. I still refer to your older content. Hope the Alaska adventure has prospered.

[@GiBprive]

So glad to see you again,,,, and will be happy to much more form you again (for sure)...

[@IrvingNestorRandom]

You're back! :)

[@LostWax]

Wow, what a great surprise to see this notification pop up! Awesome to see you again. Back in the day, your channel was one of the keys in giving me the ability to film decent quality vids without dropping a ton of cash on gear. Thank you❤️

[@Brant_Moore]

HES BACK

[@budgrantrules]

Welcome back! Please post some more.

[@JGDeRuvo]

Welcome back man!

[@gefloigle]

Yay! He's back! I picked up a painters pole for 50¢ 2 weeks ago. Great idea!

[@frugalfilmmaker]

Fifty cents! Wow! Where did you score that?

[@gefloigle]

thefrugalfilmmaker Sorry. I meant to say "at a yard sale" when I posted that. Got distracted. 😛

[@brucestoker2130]

I record in a small space; so this has been a huge help! I have also placed two of these against a wall and attached an 8' piece of 1-1/2" slotted steel angle between them with the ground clamps; now I have a place to hang backdrops, a mountable green screen, lights, and other bits without having to attach anything to a wall. Thanks for the help!

[@wordsofjed]

Welcome back, Scott! Hope to see more videos from you, you were a major inspiration when I was broke fresh out of college and looking for ways to be a filmmaker!

[@SandCrabNews]

I like the big rubber plunger so you avoid damaging the ceiling and telescoping painters poles are a lighter, compact and moor efficient tool than 1-inch PVC. BTW -- Welcome back. I look forward to updates on the family and projects.

[@robinburke1469]

A voice from the past! Welcome back.

[@MiltonGibson]

IT'S LIKE OLD HOME WEEK!!!! Great to see you back! You've been on my Subscribed list for the last 4 or 5 years.

[@alexthemoviegeek]

You were always one of my KZbin heroes, glad to see you're forever frugal. I still have (and use!) the rolling blade wheel dolly I made from your video.

[@elvinlawcc]

Long time no see! Happy to see you back!

[@doubledog5894]

This is magical! I immediately went out and bought these items. Tripod legs drive me nuts! FYI, I paid about $12 for the Mr. Longarm pole and they had them in two different parts of the store - electrical and paint department. The paint department sold several different sizes and some were cheaper because it was just the pole with no accessories (which I didn’t need anyway). So, thank you! This jig works really well. I might actually get another one and use them horizontally above a product photo table. 💥📸💥✌️😎👍

[@themagiccoasterlover]

A voice I didn't know I missed! Good to see you back.

[@MakeArtHurt]

Welcome back! An old school, brand new addition! You were missed, bro :-)

[@TSGEnt]

Good to see you!

[@pmorales1931]

Holy wow - welcome back

[@OrlandoMergal]

I was glad to discover that you’re back. I consider myself quite creative when it comes to throwing together contraptions but, my friend, you are the master. I’ve followed your videos for years and picked up some great ideas. And what I like the most is the simplicity. This one in particular made me laugh. I mean, the whole toilet plunger thing is crazy, but it works!!! Keep on doing what you do. I love it.

[@frugalfilmmaker]

Thanks! I think "contraption" sums up everything I make.

[@WolfsHaven]

Missed the deal, miss seeing you more. Got home, checked my email, and saw the alert you had posted. It was like hearing from a long lost old friend. Made me happy.

[@OriginalBigRob]

Dude...You’re back! 👍

[@RSpudieD]

Do my eyes deceive me? No....IT IS!!! WELCOME BACK SCOTT!!!!

[@newfoundmass]

WELCOME BACK!!! ❤️

[@DavidAllenRose]

Great to cya!!! Please do more video content.

[@TheFilipeLemos]

Wait what?! Glad you're back!!!

[@brotschuh]

I have very high ceilings (about 9-10 foot) and i bought 2 Ceiling props from the local discounter for 19.- each and I'm pretty happy with them. With their lenght I can easily put them horizontal between two walls also and use to fix lights or cloth or whatever. btw nice to see you're back

[@ImTheDaveman]

Deud! Like, its really? yew? Like.., kewl! LoL - Glad you found your way back. You've been missed. The painter's pole light and cam stand is really cool. As for the plunger handles - I have andea for em. If you have moles in your yard, you can do a real-life game of whack-amole! Hey - I didn't say it was a genius-level idea. :-D

[@brainonabike7760]

Holy crap you're back! I used to watch your videos years ago before I had a youtube account and I still have equipment that I bought/made from watching your old videos. Glad to see you're back making videos! I'm definitely subscribing!

Welcome back, missed your videos Stay safe

[@LastSongOfTheNight]

Yay. Missed you.

[@zacherygreen]

So glad you're Back! One question: do you think you could mount a Chinaball/paper lantern to this rig? If so, what sort of materials would you use for DIY chinaball mount? I have a few clamps lying around, but curious to know what you would use!

[@frugalfilmmaker]

I'd probably use my painter's pole adapter and attach the chain to the 1/4-20" thread with a nut over it.

[@BillDubeVariety]

Great videos as always.... Thanks for all the help and support you give to all of us.

[@CreatorofWhat]

First let me say I'm so glad to see you again. Second This is perfect timing, I can use this set up right now. Thank you and Noptop!
