🚨FLAT BASE LIGHT STANDS🤯

[@godzrule76]

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

[@gavinfulton1361]

It's the aggressive removal of the legs for me

[@JustinPorterMedia]

😂😂😂😂

[@CardBug]

im weak

[@MrDJSTRATEGY]

😂😂😂

[@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.

[@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

[@Musicgutbucket]

Absolutely love positivity. Thank you.

[@juliangiambelluca8809]

You’re a genius bro

give us more DIY industry solutions!

[@JustinPorterMedia]

Say no more haha

Should I hold your beer?!😀

[@JustinPorterMedia]

@ please haha 😂😂😂

[@mannytheamateur324]

Thank you for sharing Justin!!!! 🫶🏻

[@ThePhotographyPivot]

VALUE on VALUE RIGHT HERE! Preciate you my guy!

[@PraveensFitnessFamily]

The best suggestion ever 👍😊

[@bladescavenger]

Love this!! Will definitely be getting a couple!

[@scottievee330]

Love it. Heads up thinking!!

[@tzmediacreative]

This is great...thank you!

[@ayeeidkmusic]

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

[@gabriel-mckee]

AWESOME tip, thanks for sharing!

[@MichaelSmith-cf8jz]

So simple, this is genius

[@EvanGeorgeR]

Def gotta sandbag those though 😅

[@ThiCityProductions]

I dig the idea. Tripod still more stable but if you needed the extra space in a pinch great idea

[@paigeofstylez]

I had to subscribe immediately. The passion is apparent 💪🏿🙏🏿

[@Glen.Danielsen]

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

[@realchingon]

Thank you! This is REAL free game!

[@HamhamASMR]

Cool! The studio is looking really great, btw

[@aTADtoofar]

Yes!

[@dereklamarstudios]

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

[@AdebolaAdenuga]

Thanks for providing a response to my question

[@markIRL]

The C-Stand setup is what I was after and I literally went and grabbed a couple of these since it's the end of the season anyway so the bases are on sale! Reducing tripping hazard is great!!!

[@gregorylagrange]

Nice. Might fall over if a light was on the stand leaning over that far. But the smaller footprint area still offering good stability is useful.

[@walo2k5]

Dope … hell yeah

[@dolipops]

I needed this so bad, wow

[@Davion474]

Oh wow. Thanks for this tip

[@JeremiahShowtyme]

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

[@GNOBNX]

That part!

[@obangamuzik]

Amazing!!

[@JermaineRobinsonSr]

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

[@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!

[@krmdas81]

Awesome tip bro

[@user-tt2qn1cj1x]

Great tip

[@TonyContiniProductions]

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

[@recfocus]

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

[@keepitgrimy]

Genius

[@CrQualityPhotography]

love it, thanks broo

[@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.

[@tonyscalifornia]

You’re so strong I’m peeing myself watching the tutorial 🤣 Anyway the new varipole version of you is much better

[@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.

[@JoshBirman]

The gesture at the end 😂😂

[@mvp91]

You made my day.. again

[@edy5082]

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

[@PVMMAC]

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

[@yahmanml]

That’s a great hack!

[@sagarchawla8145]

All the options here are for over $100, when my light stand costed me around 5 bucks a piece. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@aov_james]

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

[@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

[@moorememoriesvideo7070]

Wow. I mean, game changer!!

[@moorememoriesvideo7070]

How much does the base weigh?

[@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?

[@alfredoZ88]

Bro that's next level thinking

[@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

[@DreamK9]

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

[@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

[@JanWilliamsBailey]

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

[@aaronjonellhall1937]

Use a Cstand

[@Visual_Verse_Media]

Try that tip test again with a light on top of it 😂

[@PizzlesTechTime]

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

[@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.

[@UnwantedSelf]

That's a snatch!

[@massakidi]

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

[@Villarreal422]

It will fall once something is on there.

[@frankforbezfilms-re1lv]

Bro you can sell anything lmao

[@mandography]

Patent that shi!!!!

[@Vibrance_Visuals]

Why

[@ginol5975]

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