Question
I am shopping for a light stand and find that while 6'4" (200cm) stands are affordable, 8' (240cm) and 9' (260cm) stands are double the price.
Have you used any alternatives? I just want to be ready for (group) full-length standing poses with Rembrandt lighting, yet not buy a larger stand and carry it all the time. Thanks.
Answer
One option used by many photographers is a second person (assistant) holding an extension pole or monopod that has the light on the end. With an average-height person holding a six foot pole, you can easily get up to the height you need.
