Hey guys. I'm looking for some support but I'm not sure what I want. I'm looking for doing portraiture of children but would like to be able to get my head out from behind the camera so I can talk to them and make them laugh ect. I like the idea of wheeled and easily adjustable up and down. Does anyone have experience with a camera stand instead of a tripod? Here's one on BandH.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Camera stands are in common use in permanent studios...not the kind of thing for an amateur's temporary portrait setup...stands weigh 200 lbs. or more!

Why not just use a tripod? It will do everything a camera stand will do and isn't as heavy or costly...

There are wheeled tripod dollys available and tripod with easily adjustable center columns.
