Tripod Light Stand

How do I convert my tripod into a light stand? Do I just buy another Arca Style plate and attach a spigot to mount AD600?

Get a light stand IMHO.

I do have alot of heavy duty light stands and C stand. This is for destination wedding in case my clamp, nano stand isn't enough. Tripod stand just as back up.

And what if you need to use the tripod as an actual tripod. I suppose a lightstand will work in a
Pinch...

But why?

an extra plate with a spigot would be the easiest and quickest way in a pinch.

Yes, the spigot is the way.

There are situations where a single tool which works both ways is an advantage. Unless you are planning strobe with very long shutter drag, you typically need either tripod or light stand. Not to say I don't often use both for convenience. But traveling, often need and light weight rule.

Tripods are not a good choice for mounting lights because you can't get the light high enough for most applications.

Agree with jcoleman

Here is a good packable stand: https://www.bhphotovid​eo.com …BwE&is=REG&m=Y&​sku=502683

Not sure what your tripod usage would be, but you might be better adapting a stand to be a tripod than the other way around. Or just carrying the stand too.

My tripod is over six feet and an umbrella adapter can be used to add a few more inches of height.

It won't do what my c-stand will do, but I can't take my c-stand on a plane without a hassle and it is a pain to carry around at an event .

ProMaster LS-CT is like a tripod but still a light stand plus compact and light weight
Selens FL-240 is compact and light weight

I like how tripods can adjust the legs for un even surfaces, so ust buy another Arca Style plate and attach a spigot

My light stands are 13' and I can easily carry three of them on a plane.

I don't recall the manufacturer of the bag, but it will hold three 13' impact or savage stands as long as you remove the flash holder. I can also fit a folding octabox and/or umbrella in the bag as well.
