Portable Lightstand

[bcap]

Hello everyone!

I realize that this isn't necessarily the right place for the topic, but I am wanting to hear the professional wedding photographer's input in the topic, which is why I decided to post here.

My lightstand (for my 580ex) just saw it's last day. I need to buy 2 portable lightstands for my 2 off-cam flashes for weddings, on-location photo shoots, etc.

What lightstands do you guys use? How do you like them?

I'm looking for something super light and super portable. Any suggestions are appreciated :)

I've got a Manfrotto, it's either 3373 or 3733, can't remember the number exactly, and it's great. Extends to like eight foot if necessary, folds down to probably about 3, nice and light.

Bieber is referring to model 3373 from Monfrotto. They go up to about 6' and collapse to about 18". I use it with my 580EX's and 40" umbrellas and they work great. Could be a little taller but very portable.
