What equipment can I get to hold and angle a foam core bounce board (24" x 36")? Cheap light stand and come kind of flexable arm to hold it? Point me in the right direction here please!

Any of the reflector holders will work for your foam core. The B&H house brand, Impact is a great value. I have several of this stand/reflector holder combo and should work well for you. http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …_Stand_and_Refl​ector.html (external link)

I use the litetdisc booms, which, if you have the stands, are pretty cheap.

My favorite is to hire hot twins as models, and have one hold the boards while I shoot the other.......:)

Thread revival. Can someone recommend the best way to hold a simple foam core bounce?
