You have some of the most useful videos in this niche, I think. Seeing how all these products compare to one another is much more useful than a simple unboxing video, or review, with charts and diagrams comparing the other products.
FINALLY! this is my struggle when traveling and wanted to take good photos! Markus! You'll be my go to person guru for portability travel photographer! THIS CONTENT IS GOLD!
Mark, let me say that your work, ideas, and suggestions does not go in vain. I love your videos! They inspire and give me many thoughts on the creation of new photography ideas. You are a blessing man to the utmost. Thank you.
An "out-standing" video. Lots of usable information. Helps us know the various options. And, I really appreciate how you look for inexpensive stuff too.
This is great because I usually find myself relying only on natural lighting exactly because lugging around supplementary lighting seems such a hassle. Thanks for helping to mitigate this problem!
It ain't a hassle if you're a professional, it's a necessity to bring lights and it is what differentiates you from an amateur. Professionals don't rely on the luck of DJ lights or good natural light.
@papsny Are you sure about that? My Grandfather's a professional photographer and is about as old-school as it gets, and he's constantly using natural light whenever he can specifically because he hates hulling around giant heavy lights. I've learned from both him AND Markus that you don't need a million dollars worth of giant equipment to be "professional." The difference between an amateur and professional is experience, which can result in better pictures on its own. If you feel like you need a bunch of accessories in order to be "professional," then you're clearly trying too hard to look cool.
I love your style man. I’m also get hyper focused on perfecting things that don’t really need it. Thanks for shopping for all this stuff. Your videos are unlike any other product videos out there.
What an incredible selection of options out there. It is nice to see the variations and some of the DIY twists thrown in to make things work better and together. Thanks Markus for your sweat equity in all the videos. Special shout to Cara who brings you on the screen in a superb fashion. Cheers. - Jim
12:07 actually you can hacksaw that action cam mount (its molded to 1/4-20 threaded to the rod) and replace it will 1/4-20 long thread. I replaced mine, one of those action cam selfie stick, to ulanzi go quick ii mount.
Fabulous video, I am absolutely floored that you have such curiosities about the functionality (in addition to the features) of different photo gear. So helpful!!
I stumbled into your video and LOVE LOVE THIS!!! I’m also obsessed with these ounces and weights for traveling and thanks for creating this! I enjoy this so so much!
this is even greater idea , my light setup is kinda similar to yours ... what i did is i multi-purpose my camera tripod.. if im not using my K&F tripod for the camera im adding my insta360 invisible stick and thats what i use for the light, another cool thing is that the bottom of the tripod have hooks for the bags so im using the bag as weight to make it more sturdy against the wind .. and all the stuff can fit in my camera bag
Thank you for sharing your insights. I was putting together a selfie stick and a tripod base combo myself and seeing these combinations laid out next to each other and compared was extremely helpful
It is fantastic to see such enthusiasm about photography coming from somebody already so knowledgeable. And such will to share... Really the type of guy anybody would like to have some beers with.
Just finished this and i definitely found some im going to buy for my next trips! i also love how you edit your videos and get straight to the point and dont have a lot of useless banter like some of the other review videos where people love hearing themselves talk 😅
I do a lot of interviews in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and always travel back and forth by train. Carrying at least 2 Lightstands including the lights, cameras and tripods just by myself has been a pain. I will definitely give this method a try and see if it can hold my lights! Dankeschön Markus!
Holy crap, you’re dedicated to thoroughly covering each possibility is amazing. Thank you for putting it together to share. I was using a flash bracket to hold a double flash for a compact little one small bag kit because the stands tend to be bulkier. My compact stands weren’t quite tall enough but this has some amazing work around for every scenario between the rigid extenders, the ones that bend. Between this and the info on the light output of the AD100s, it will make for an excellent little travel light kit I can fit in a tiny bag like a tripod bag to throw in with me just in case. I’m thinking two stands, 2 or 3 AD100s and the trigger in a little 15” cylindrical bag. Appreciate the enthusiasm to discover and share!
bro already reached the enlightenment where he doesnt even care how advanced the camera technology is. at this point he's only care how can he can bring ultralight setup to travel. he pushed the weight limits of the modern equipment because he has a lot of history about his career so everyone can learn from his experience how to be a minimalist photographer but still can produce a stunning result. with the ideology like this, he will bring more people's to world of photography
Markus, you are completely nuts and obsessive! Fantastic review and I will certainly look at repurposing selfie sticks and extension rods for traveling light. I think you should contract one of these manufacturers and market your own travel stand. You'll have a winner!
I love your content. We are kindred spirits. I obsess over finding unique, cheap, ans small solutions to things. My first video was about modifying cheap collapsing selfie tripods with with M to M 1/4-20 adapters so they would hold my LED lights and other miscellaneous gear. Photography is an expensive hobby but I try to help folks understand it doesn't have to be, and that creativity can overcome budget or other logistic hurdles. Keep doing what you do!
That is one weird looking forest you're standing in. I do have that bag, 2 in fact. One for my cameras and another for audio gear. Im tempted to get more. Absolutely love them.
Exactly what I needed, just saved me a bunch of money. Thanks for the video, and for buying all of these to compare. I was just wondering if you could use one as a tripod, and you just answered my question at the end!
You gain a lot of stability with the Godox AD200 by using the EC200 head extension cord. It reduces the weight at the top of the stand and adds some ballast with the main unit hung lower on the stand. It makes using lightweight modifiers possible,
I’d like to see how you get all that other gear you listed in the title in that bag. I thought it might be the Sony RX100, but not with extra lenses. So I am curious. Great video. Thank you for doing this.
At minute 22:00 you said you use them as tripods for your cameras. How do you deal with wind? What is the heaviest camera or lightest you were able to put it on? A video would be great 😅 thanks for all your amazing tips

Markus is my Go-To person for the most accurate, no non-sense, and non commercial advice on filmmaking gear and techniques!! Love you Markus!!!
The number one place to find videos you don't need but have to watch😂👍
@@LeopoldElwes or you didn’t know you needed! I’ve learned a lot from his quest for the smallest tripod, stand, light, and camera!
This is just incredible. I would have never known that these products existed without this channel.

I get right to the practical stuff

It's always so amusing to see Markus getting really enthusiastic about poles/tubes/stands :-)
Appreciate your work Markus!
An "out-standing" video. Lots of usable information. Helps us know the various options. And, I really appreciate how you look for inexpensive stuff too.
Marcus is the world’s greatest guru of light stands. Very informative video.
hehe yeah the AOKA is since a while with me, just great
The amount of information you fit into an entertaining 22 minutes is astounding. THANK YOU!!!

Thanks! It's fun
Mr P.....
I travel quite a bit for work and to quote other viewers you are my Go-to for "all things common sense". Great tips. Thanks!
You've just gave me an idea of mounting my small Amaran AL-H198 from Aperture, using a tripod head, now I'm able to tilt it to any angle, such as 45
Love the light stand forest you’re growing.
I have been looking for the right travel stand for months! Thanks! for all the options and the passion !
Thanks Markus! I’ve been shopping for light stands and my head was beginning to spin. Your timing for this video was perfect.
Markus' excitement is half of the entertainment of this video.
Hey Markus. Loved this video! Really like those goosenecks. I can use those with my product photography!
I love your passion! You're very genuine. Thank you for sharing your research on gears other than cameras and lenses with us!
Love the new animation. Reminds me of the characters from the Pink Panther cartoons
How many calls a day do you get from B&H or Adorama to be an affiliate? They probably see a spike in sales after every one of your videos.
This was great - man knows his stands. Cheers!
I love how passionate you are about light stands and I think I'll get one for traveling. great video
What an incredible selection of options out there. It is nice to see the variations and some of the DIY twists thrown in to make things work better and together. Thanks Markus for your sweat equity in all the videos. Special shout to Cara who brings you on the screen in a superb fashion. Cheers. - Jim
Im really glad i found you and your forest of light stands. You always inspire me to keep it simple and DIY what ya can.
You're a happy man. Thank you.
This is superb, love the energy and enthusiasm, given me a few ideas to play with and look at.
12:07 actually you can hacksaw that action cam mount (its molded to 1/4-20 threaded to the rod) and replace it will 1/4-20 long thread. I replaced mine, one of those action cam selfie stick, to ulanzi go quick ii mount.
Fantastic. The possibilities are almost endless. Something for every need and situation. Wow. Thank you, Markus, for this rundown.
This is great… I was just thinking about light stands for travel and how it’s gonna suck to bring two manfrottos. Well done.
Fabulous video, I am absolutely floored that you have such curiosities about the functionality (in addition to the features) of different photo gear. So helpful!!
You deserve 1M views just on this video!! Thanks so so much Markus
Love the camera bag
I stumbled into your video and LOVE LOVE THIS!!! I’m also obsessed with these ounces and weights for traveling and thanks for creating this! I enjoy this so so much!
Marcus is my hero on camera gear. Love this guy.
this is even greater idea , my light setup is kinda similar to yours ... what i did is i multi-purpose my camera tripod.. if im not using my K&F tripod for the camera im adding my insta360 invisible stick and thats what i use for the light, another cool thing is that the bottom of the tripod have hooks for the bags so im using the bag as weight to make it more sturdy against the wind .. and all the stuff can fit in my camera bag
Great practical and reasonable tricks/tips as always! So many tutorials on RUclips assume you have a crew to lug your gear- most of our don't!!
Thank you for sharing your insights. I was putting together a selfie stick and a tripod base combo myself and seeing these combinations laid out next to each other and compared was extremely helpful
We think alike
I always learn something from your videos, Markus. Love the gooseneck ideas.
It is fantastic to see such enthusiasm about photography coming from somebody already so knowledgeable. And such will to share...
Really the type of guy anybody would like to have some beers with.
The 11" Gooseneck slip-on is a game changer for me, Thanks!!
One of my favorite videos you’ve made yet!
Thank you. It's been half a year in the making!
Just finished this and i definitely found some im going to buy for my next trips! i also love how you edit your videos and get straight to the point and dont have a lot of useless banter like some of the other review videos where people love hearing themselves talk 😅

Thank you for investing so much money and time for just trying it out and then shareing it with us!
My pleasure!

Great video! Thanks a lot for all the helpful recommendations you share in your videos!

Thank you so much for the most comprehensive review of portable stands I have ever seen! Wow

now THAT's my VIDEO :)!!!! I'm an international traveler/videographer
This is exactly what i've been looking for! Thank you so much.

My studio gonna look like that too with the jungle of light stands because of you 😆
This is amazing! Thanks so much!
Fantastic info! Thank you.
Markus, you are completely nuts and obsessive! Fantastic review and I will certainly look at repurposing selfie sticks and extension rods for traveling light. I think you should contract one of these manufacturers and market your own travel stand. You'll have a winner!
Thanks so much Marcus I'm looking to buy my first set of light stands and you gave me some great knowledge thank you sir
Remember these are super lightweight flimsy travel stands, not for everyday home use. But the Impact LS-6 or LS-8 are great for all around use
Out of this world detail. Amazing
Just a man and his light stands... this is great stuff 🔥🔥🔥🔥
the level of research always has me back thanks markus!
I'm German, what can I say

Wow that was a crazy fast 23 minute video. ❤❤❤❤
Wow!! How do You keep track of all of these. Amazing, Thank You!!
Such a great video!!! Never gave the extension sticks a thought for my small light stands!!! Thanks!
You’re great Marcus! I appreciate your channel.
I appreciate that!
Exactly what I needed, just saved me a bunch of money. Thanks for the video, and for buying all of these to compare.
I was just wondering if you could use one as a tripod, and you just answered my question at the end!
Got some great ideas here for light stands. I will be probably buying a couple items based on what I saw here today.
Great, how do find all these items? Tons of research by you saves the novice lots of time. Thank you, good work as always.
Another awesome roundup. Such practical info. Thanks!
big love from Amsterdam Holland. Thank you for amazing information.
Great review thanks!
Markus, you're a legend
super informative, thank you! 😊
So cool. Thank you!!!!
Great market analysis!
Thank you Markus!
Thank you for this important and valuable information about how to choose compact light equipment! Just what i needed 😃
If you have Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) then this video will make you feel better about yourself.
I have a very similar setup. Great info.
The Urig TP-03 17:40 would be good for a small LED light shining on the wall behind a talking head style video.
That might be pushing it, its made for GoPros and the sections don't lock
Thanks again for another great comparison video.
You gain a lot of stability with the Godox AD200 by using the EC200 head extension cord. It reduces the weight at the top of the stand and adds some ballast with the main unit hung lower on the stand. It makes using lightweight modifiers possible,
ruclips.net/video/Lci3kDYb-c8/видео.html
You make me want to buy a light stand/selfie-stick-tripod combo. Now for a light, camera and camera bag... 😁
oh my god.... Markus, you are crazy!
Markus for president ❤ this dude so humble God bless my friend
awesome as always! One question what is that bag you're using ?
I’d like to see how you get all that other gear you listed in the title in that bag. I thought it might be the Sony RX100, but not with extra lenses. So I am curious.
Great video. Thank you for doing this.
Great thank you.
Mad respect for this vid. THANK YOU
thank you for your research!!!
At minute 22:00 you said you use them as tripods for your cameras. How do you deal with wind? What is the heaviest camera or lightest you were able to put it on? A video would be great 😅 thanks for all your amazing tips
I just put rocks or weights on the legs
