Spreading the word



The videos showing my prototypes of lightweight lightstands have some 60 000 views on YouTube now, and appear on sites like Wired, Strobist and Fotosidan – fun to see the idea gaining some traction :-) People wants to buy them, but I'll respond with the four-letter-word "DIY!". Here's some links to articles:

Jens,

Tackar :-) Jupp, det är den.

Jens said...

Tack för svar och ha en trevlig helg!

Peter Karlsson said...

Detsamma!

Jens said...

Kom på en sak till.... Vilken dimension har tältpinnarna du använder?

//J

Peter Karlsson said...

8 mm diameter, 40 cm långa. Jag skulle dock kolla på 60 cm längd om jag byggde om dem, ungefär samma som paraplyerna. /P

Jens said...

Tackar! På tältcentralen har dom semesterstängt denna så det blir ett samtal dit nästa vecka. Dom har tur med vädren. Hoppas du också får njuta av solen!

You discussed all the parts necessary to build the tripod but one. You left out the bracket which clamps your flash to the umbrella shaft. Can you please post the name of this clamp or a link to where it can be ordered.
Thanks
