This may sound like an utterly stupid statement but...

when I have 1 or 2 people helping me out with reflectors, shooting outside...my photos are considerably better...mainly because I am not the one having to hold the reflector and take the pictures at the same time...causing camera shake in 80% of the photos...
my question is, if you are alone and have reflector duties to work with, do you always just have a stand for the reflector? I know the answer is probably yes...but does anyone ever not use a stand for a reflector? and just use on camera flash and natural light?(I don't have any strobes)

and finally could anyone point me in the right direction to purchase a stand, with clips or a boom arm? my reflector is rather large...

man now that I read this it just sounds like a funny question...basically what Im saying is that I want my photos to have the same quality when Im alone than when I have someone helping me, and is getting a stand for a reflector the way to do so..

I have two light stands and Photoflex reflector booms to help me when I'm shooting.
