B&H impact stands help! which one?

[chris21908]

im planning on ordering 8ft impact light stands with those $15 impact umbrella brackets. on their website they show 2 of the same stand but one of them is 4 cents cheaper and one says "5/8 in stud with 1/4-20 in threaded tip" and the other says "5/8 in stud". which one do i get?? im confused!! last thing i wanna do is order the wrong stuff and ship it all back. please help!

here's the comparison chart with the 2 light stands. hopefully it works:

the 1/4-20 threaded tip allows you to mount a hotshoe right to the stud, whereas the one w/o will need something along the lines of an umbrella mount.

Given that you're getting and umbrella mount, you shouldn't need it, per se.
