Our first DIY Photo Gear project has been posted at the above address.
It's a DIY C-Stand (heavy light stand).
This stand is super heavy duty, unlike the pvc stands seen elsewhere.
It's constructed with parts found at virtually
any home center or plumbing supply house with only basic tools and
experience needed. Total dollars spent at our local
home center in the midwest was only $30.00 !!!

Check it out when you have a minute and we've many more projects to
post in the coming weeks so check back often!

Well I did much the same thing, but instead of the pipe for the base,
I used piece of 3/4 inch ply for the base. I used a flange to give
the pipe something to screw into. My lights had clamps on them so I
just clamped them. I am not sure though that I fully understand how
you got the adjustment sections to work.
