Walmart ankle weights. I like to over engineer so each c stand gets 3 10lb weights. It's rock solid like this.
Oh and get rid of the umbrellas when outside and go for a beauty dish. More wind resistant.

I was close to buying a mule to haul my stuff...  Haha. Funny you said that because when I was looking for a little hand truck for my gear bags, I was wondering what clients would think if I were pulling a red Radio Flyer instead.

Those all-terrain radio flyers more expensive than some of the high quality hand trucks. And that thing weights close to 40 lbs by itself. Fuji XT-1, 18-55mm

mcluckie I play with fire, run with scissors and skate on thin ice all at once!  2,192 posts Gallery: 109 photos Best ofs: 2 Likes: 449 Joined Jul 2009 Location: Hong Kong, Ozarks, previously Chicago area More info | Nov 07, 2009 05:42 | #22 I've seen an awful lot of pros use bare flash in a lot of situation where it might have been 'better' to use an umbrella or softbox. Some of my favorite photographers use bare OCF quite a lot...and if you asked them to stick an umbrella on their light all the time...they would look at you like you were crazy. I agree. Bare bulb is a whole 'nother ball game — I did it a LOT in the 80s; guess I forgot. Just have to stick it in a corner (or jammed next to a wall) to get any direction from it. I'm a huge fan of bare bulb, just not a fan of raw strobe heads aimed someplace stupid. multidisciplinary visual guy, professor of visual art, irresponsible and salty.
