I'm looking to purchase 2 / 13 foot light stands that I can dual use as background stands. Is there a way to convert these type of stands for a dual purpose use. Basically I need 2 /13 foot stands for indoor sports strobing, but I would like to get dual purpose use out of the stands when I'm not shooting strobe sports to convert to T&I background setup. ( How would you convert the top to accept a cross bar? ) And yes I am looking into 3 smaller stands for the lights on T&I or portraits shoots.
What stands would you recommend for the 13'ers if this conversion setup is possible?
Basically you are getting two light stands with top nuts (they hold down the background holder), a 12' sectional cross bar, and a carrying bag to hold it all.
When not being used as background stands just remove the top nut.
I have other calumet light stands and I can tell you with complete authority that there is absolutely no difference between these 12' calumet stands and my other 12' calumet stands. The only difference is what they came with.
