Quick questions for those of you that use C stands on location:
What do you use for a bag?
Do you ever wish you had the sliding leg version instead of the turtle stand?
And have you ever had lens flare from the chrome versions of stands?

Yep, turtle base vs. rocky leg...just curious if the rocky leg is that useful on location. Doesn't seem worth it because of the added bulk so an avenger style lightstand w/ lazy leg seems more useful.

It's very, VERY slightly heavier than a plain C-stand, but no heavier than one with a removable base. And I bought them in black. Fixes the other issue you asked about. • Wedding Photographer - Sydney and Wollongong

Do you find the sliding leg one hard to haul on location (e.g., fields, outdoors, etc.)? And you just throw it in the car w/o a bag?

And you just throw it in the car w/o a bag? It's a bit unwieldy to transport, but so is other gear that I need to take along. And yep, I just throw it into the car. There is no bag that will fit it anyway. • Wedding Photographer - Sydney and Wollongong
