Looking for some advice on getting a reflector and stand setup. Looking at various 5 in 1 setups for the reflector and want to get a stand to go with it.

I have looked at a few places and have seen some good ones for about $150. Anybody find any setups for a little less?

Have taken another look at B&H and do see a setup which may work, thanks for the tip.

I was already ordering a second light and added in a reflector and stand setup. Should be a decent setup.

Definately check out ebay.
I got a HUGE 36" x 46" 5-1 reflector for about $15 us from an ebay store called NYCAROLSHOP (http://search.ebay.ca/_W0QQfrppZ25QQfrtsZ25QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsassZnycaro lshop). This reflector includes the pouch and is very high quality. The same as any "expensive" reflector I've seen.

And, I got a VERY good reflector stand with arm from an ebay store called AMVONA (http://search.ebay.ca/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZamvonaQ2ecom) for $28 us plus shipping. This stand is SO nice, it makes my alienbees light stand look cheap. It's even cushioned between joints. Highly recommended. Just do a search for "lightdisc" at the amvona ebay store. They also sell the reflectors at great prices, so you could probably get both from them. There is a nifty shipping calculator on their ebay pages as well. Good luck!

The 2 light stands and several umbrellas are all from Amvona, decided to try AlienBees this time, if it sucks I will return it and try Amvona.

Should be shipping today and arrive before the weekend, I will let you know how they seem. Will have a nice 2 AB B800 light setup now, so I can start working into more portrait work.
