Heya,
I'm looking for the best cheap lightstands, boom arms, counterweights, and other accessories for the studio. I've been browsing BH photo and there are so many different brands and different prices I don't know if I should just get the cheapest one .... or what?

Help! Thx =)

Too much gear...

XPRO dual umbrella/light stands go for $95 shipped over on handhelditems after applying the "2umbrella" coupon code. There are a few folks here that say they work well enough after going to Walmart and getting the daylight cfl bulbs.

Impact makes some very good lightstands, ranging from lightweight for $20 to heavy duty for about $40. They have others but considering that you are looking at cheap stands, the Impact would do very nicely.
