Your stand for background light.

What do you use? I've considered just clamping the light to my background stand, because a boom stand seems excessive and I don't want to carry around another stand (my setup is portable). So how do you light the background?

for a traditional portrait setup, calumet has a low stand for $25

The build quality is good.

Based on your post are you lighting the background from above? What are you using for a background support?

Link? Right now, I'm either using a tripod at it's lowest height or angling a light stand at the background that sits right behind the hair light.

Not bad, but garage sale tripods accomplish the same results. I should have been more specific. I'm looking for something that I can use as a background light that I don't have to use the subject to hide the stand itself. Right now I'm doing mostly children, so a boom stand is easily tipped over and a small tripod is too small to hide behind a child. That's the basic situation I'm looking for a solution for.

??? nah. It goes low, low, low, low...

But i get what you're asking.
