🚨FLAT BASE LIGHT STANDS🤯

[@gavinfulton1361]

It's the aggressive removal of the legs for me

[@JustinPorterMedia]

😂😂😂😂

[@godzrule76]

Still loving the positivity and love you show for what you do!

[@kenshady007]

Did this at a wedding I shot thanks to your work. The only thing I wish I had was one with wheels since I solo shot the event. Your advice has been invaluable!

[@JustinPorterMedia]

They sell some with wheels. Pretty dope too and then you can lean it and slide it around. Thanks so much for the support 🥹

[@jamalgumbs7518]

You seriously have rethinking things. I really like this.

give us more DIY industry solutions!

[@JustinPorterMedia]

Say no more haha

Should I hold your beer?!😀

[@JustinPorterMedia]

@ please haha 😂😂😂

[@toyinosi]

The lighting hack I didn’t know I needed. 🤯 Need to consult the Mrs regarding another gear acquisition from Amazon. Wish me luck. 🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️

[@ayeeidkmusic]

That’s fire!!!! Definitely going to get a couple of those bases! Thanks for the tip bro!

[@MichaelSmith-cf8jz]

So simple, this is genius

[@juliangiambelluca8809]

You’re a genius bro

[@mannytheamateur324]

Thank you for sharing Justin!!!! 🫶🏻

[@scottievee7467]

Love it. Heads up thinking!!

[@JeremiahShowtyme]

A light on there that joint would’ve cracked the floor 😂.

[@GNOBNX]

That part!

[@TonyContiniProductions]

Needs a sandbag or two for sure. But I dig !

[@PaulClifford]

Brilliant! I need a light stand for my home studio and my regular tripod light stands wouldn’t work because of where the lights need to be up next to the wall. I’m using this hack for sure!

[@mr.haanya]

Well I personally wouldn’t use this for stands however I would use it as cheap junior plate for when I need a light close to ground.

[@tzmediacreative]

This is great...thank you!

[@PraveensFitnessFamily]

The best suggestion ever 👍😊

[@GNOBNX]

Dude I love your vids, but with this base hack I’d like to see you try that with a decent sized light, camera and the boom arm that goes with that C-Stand…

[@bladescavenger]

Love this!! Will definitely be getting a couple!

[@HamhamASMR]

Cool! The studio is looking really great, btw

[@gabriel-mckee]

AWESOME tip, thanks for sharing!

Justin, thanks hugely much for this! Thankful subscriber here. 🙏🏽

[@walo2k5]

Dope … hell yeah

[@dereklamarstudios]

Thank you for the innovative technique. I can’t wait to try this

[@AdebolaAdenuga]

Thanks for providing a response to my question

[@Davion474]

Oh wow. Thanks for this tip

[@edy5082]

First killing it with your videos now your tricks, all you gotta do is fly now😂

[@JoshBirman]

The gesture at the end 😂😂

[@hoopdreamz10]

I literally just made these last wee after watching one of your other videos

[@yahmanml]

How do you like using this set up so far? I’m thinking about trying this out myself.

[@JermaineRobinsonSr]

Yoooo ❤love this. Dang that’s a hack FO’REAL. 👌🏾💯

[@dolipops]

I needed this so bad, wow

[@obangamuzik]

Amazing!!

[@recfocus]

Dope bro!! I was wondering where to buy these 😊😊😊

[@EvanGeorgeR]

Def gotta sandbag those though 😅

[@user-tt2qn1cj1x]

Great tip

[@krmdas81]

Awesome tip bro

[@parmusical]

Great tip. I will be having 5kg of load (softbox and cob light), what would be the minimum required weight for the holder?

[@JustinPorterMedia]

There’s really no minimum. If it starts to tip, just add a few sandbags. This setup is ideal for a cramped interview space or things like a tube light etc.

[@parmusical]

@@JustinPorterMedia I'm ordering from Ebay and I want to get it right without the sandbags. Do you remember the weight of yours?

[@JustinPorterMedia]

@@parmusical oh yea. Mine are 26lbs. They sell some 50s but those would be a pain carrying around.

[@parmusical]

@@JustinPorterMedia very helpful. Will order now. Thanks a ton (no pun intended)

[@PositiveVibeMedia]

Do you have to “break” the legs off the light stand?

[@CrQualityPhotography]

love it, thanks broo

[@massakidi]

stop spreading bad practices, the stand didn’t felt because it’s empty

[@PVMMAC]

Nice!! Would monopod fit ? Put camera on? 😂

[@mvp91]

You made my day.. again

[@SomeWeirdCat]

Great idea, but please dont advertise any stand as not falling over without being sandbagged. Sure, it won't fall over without anything on it, but that equation quickly changes when you put a light at the top. I've been personally witness to falling stands due to them being bagged improperly, let alone just left unbagged. It's not worth the equipment's or any person's safety to trust a stand without a bag

[@moorememoriesvideo7070]

How much does the base weigh?

[@JanWilliamsBailey]

But what If you want to put the legs back onto the stand?

[@aaronjonellhall1937]

Use a Cstand

[@moorememoriesvideo7070]

Wow. I mean, game changer!!

[@dtwistrewind7361]

Great idea, but at a pro event public liability won't pay out if they see the garden umbrella base👍

[@JustinPorterMedia]

Who said it’s a garden base? How do we know the gardens aren’t using a film base? Lol

[@aov_james]

I'm waiting to see light and grip team intervene raging about it 😂

[@alexhopkinsentertainment8845]

Legend! I use two Aputure 60xs at my weddings one as key and then one as backlight (and then as subtle key on couple) but I also need them on during dancing and Horas and entrances. But I get horrible shadows when crossing the beam for moving shots or photographers in front of them. How do I avoid this?? I have them beamed super high but maybe I need to go higher?? Or if I had four instead of two to create a wash would that solve it? I’m not smart enough to work it out unless I just make sure I’m never in front of the light!

[@JustinPorterMedia]

The best way that I’ve fixed that issue is using 4 lights. One in each corner of the dance floor at a low power. This helps reduce the direct edge/shadow from one light

[@alexhopkinsentertainment8845]

Thank mate, exactly what I figured, it's a pain huh! I mean, I am super particular as I can tell you are, it just hurts my soul when I see those shadows or my gimbal outline! Still better than no lights, but that wash seems like a solution. I guess with the 60x's I should probably reduce the spot angle and make it wide beam too, I do like that more contrast look though during Speeches, so I guess I could drop down to Two for that via bluetooth. @@JustinPorterMedia

[@yahmanml]

That’s a great hack!

[@yousuck5314]

Nah...im not breaking the legs for this 😂...not safe for c stands either....nope dont do this people...use sand bags dont be lazy 😂

[@alfredoZ88]

Bro that's next level thinking

[@DreamK9]

Bro I’m about to do this to all of my lights

[@TheDuVinks]

My surveyor ass looking at that like, but a tripod at the bottom wouldnt hurt. No interest in changing career but love the vibe

[@PizzlesTechTime]

Yeah if you mount a light the wrong way that thing is coming down. Lol

[@UnwantedSelf]

That's a snatch!

[@megawatts16]

The fact that thats not just a standard option for video/photography stands amuses me greatly. As heavy base doesn't fall is a ligical thought... are.. photographers illogical? Am i illogical?.. welp. Time to debate some new tools to make for photowork.

[@frankforbezfilms-re1lv]

Bro you can sell anything lmao

[@mandography]

Patent that shi!!!!

[@oliverticalstudios]

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🫡

[@ginol5975]

Sick always worry about kids and people kicking and tripping the stand wow thanks

[@realamericannegro977]

This seems 1000x more practical

[@realamericannegro977]

Is the original stand destroyed when you remove the legs?

[@JustinPorterMedia]

Yea for the most part. I’m sure it can be put back together but I buy stands specifically to remove the legs off

[@realamericannegro977]

@@JustinPorterMedia cool. Seems like it should be the standard anyway
