p.1 #1 · Light stick?


I am interested in learning more about this lightstick I see mentioned here a bit. I did a Google search and reall the only thing that I could find was an article back in November 2007 about the potential for its resale to the public. Where do you guys buy this thing and do you care to post samples of pictures used with it?

TIA!!

you dont buy it as a piece, really. its just a monopod with a flash mounted to it, along with a pocketwizard for remote triggering.

Sergio summed it up quite nicely.

Here is a link to Ed Pingol's blog, where he talks a little about the lightstick, and it has a few pics:

Just scroll down and read "Deleting the Ambient" section.

we use something similar from time to time.

it is also nice to have 2 flashes on a stick because you can bounce one in one direction and the other in another.

Couldn't you just use something like this:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/largeimages/425220.jpg


and just close the tripod while holding it (or pull the "pole" out). I have that set at home to hold two 430EX II's and I think it would work just fine as a "light stick". It's a very light setup. Then you also have the bonus of being able to attatch an umbrella if you wanted to.

For those interested in where to buy that setup
