Everyone is posing about the the new s5 ii but you’re here with useful content. Thanks again
Extremely useful video, thankyou
Thank you to make it easy for us, your the best
Thanks for always bringing the cool stuff!
i would put a white cloth on ground, and point light directly to it..just adjusting angle..
Thanks!
love it thank you for sharing, There was a bunch of information in this video alone that changed understanding of studio photography.
If nothing else your videos are fun and your enthusiasm is infectious.
I bought those for my asteras back in Oktober. Never thought of using them like that. Good idea. The rubber at the end gets lost easily because my ones are heavily oiled.
Thanks Marcus for showing us stuff that nobody shows us! This was awesome.
Good video buddy. I love this kinda stuff too. After high school before becoming a photographer I worked in a machine shop for 5 years and learned to fabricate all kinds of stuff that I later applied to my studio. Unconventional maybe but most often worked better and far less expensive. I do wish I knew about the baby plates, but I never even been to Hollywood....
Great Tips Mr. Markus. Gives new meaning to the old school phrase; "how low can you go"?
Hello from Vorarlberg Austria 🇦🇹
You can go even lower by welding it to a piece of Sheet metal or screwing it to some sheet metal. 🤔
Kind regards Leopold 🤗
Get another 3/4 inch lower by drilling a one inch hole in your plywood and attaching the plate to the underside of the plywood sheet with the receiver through the hole. Great video, Markus!
But then the plate would stick out underneath 3/16 plus the screw heads which would raise the plywood 1/4" off the ground
you're awesome bro. Keep going 😎
Thank you Dumballa
Just a note Markus & Cara, just watched the movie Ticket to Paradise, George Clooney and Julia Roberts... except for the beginning shot in Chicago, 80% of the movie looks like it was shot at the resort you stayed at in Bali. The movie looked like it could have been a promotional video for the resort. Between your VLOG of your Bali vacation and this movie, wife is talking BALI. Alaska first, then Bali. She has an Alaska fetish since childhood.
God bless you both have a wonderful New Year!🙏🏻✝️❤️
Have wanted a low light stand for years and have been guilty of several of your failed options! Thank you!
crazy! Regards from Germany!
Vielen Dank
Awesome
Hi Markus, Great video. However, you can get lower with the Kupo Backlite Base Stand (which is a copy of the Bogen floor stand I bought 40 years ago) by simply removing the center stud and screwing it into the threaded hole down by the foot on one of the 3 legs. Then sandbag one of the other legs.
These are my fave videos of yours, love your creativity
Hey, Marcus. Just found your channel. Just really awesome content. Love that you talk about so much practical gear.
Awesome ideas. I'm surprised you didn't show any kick drum style mic stands that have little but very heavy duty iron bases. That kupo thing is a good find though. I also sometimes use my c stand without the center column and a junior to baby pin adapter.
😮Cool Af!!! I've been strugglin' with this issue (off & on) for years. Now I Got Some Real Producer Game. Thanks!
I cant wait for you to reach the 100k subs. I watch your content for so long now and it pains me how long it takes even someone like u to get there. I know you dont care monetizing it but jezuz, u should have a million subs by now... I want to start a new yt channel but it honestly demotivates me, seeing such great content on your channel and not seeing the subs you deserve. I have a trophy wife too but she would not waist her time supporting me like yours does. Cheers to both of you. :)
Awesome 👏
Hey, thats cool! Thanks Markus for showing us stuff that no one else shows us! Hope your 2023 is AMAZING.
Thanks Markus, I love learning about the "nuts and bolts" of lighting in your videos. Very much and under-discussed topic. I'm learning lighting and trying to light for some macro photography/videos and all you see are vid's selling things. Would love to know your ideas. Thanks for the good work!
Another option for you, grab some round mic stand bases, they come in a variety of diameters and weights from 10 lbs to 15lbs.
Then Add a .66¢ 5/8 to 3/8 thread adapter and you can screw any pin right into the weight.
Yes that would work. I personally like lightweight stuff. Tthose heavy cast iron mic stand bases can also scratch wood floors and crack tile or marble floors if plopped down too quickly and the edge hits the floor. But yes they would work.
@@MarkusPix I'm a fan of the kupo ones you showed for sure. The good thing about the mic stand bases is the heavy weight and small foot print vs a big board. It's all about options :)
You would think Markus would have a machine shop at home to make these things just to his specifications but I guess he already knows where to get all this stuff
Reminds me of vital, life saving information my Math Teacher Mr. Miles told me 55 years ago... "It's not necessary that you know everything as long as you know how to research and find what you need to know." One of the few teachers I remember. He also told me, "Don't get depressed if you feel you are less than perfect, there was only one perfect man and they nailed him to a tree. Who needs that?" (He was a religious man.)
Thanks for showing us stuff that no one else does.
very kewl I was needing some ideas for lighting a music video and you have inspired me. Thank you for sharing
For low fill lite, reflect lite off of plastic mirror tile.
Wow! This is a really great video 👍👍👍👍 Thanks 😎😎😎
As a work around when pushed a superclamp with a spigot in clamped to the leg of a stand works, not the most stable but will get you out of a fix.
💪🏼💪🏼good info as always!! 🙏🏼👉🏼🫵🏼
much appreciated always as well 😀
This was fun. Can you cover paper lanterns? Do you use them? How do you use them?
This is another super Markus video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and doing so in an entertaining, understandable method. Love the channel. Hooked. Jim
Great video Marcus, any chance of maby doing your take on how to light small bedrooms with different spot lights?
How do you make a small space interesting with lights
Very interesting and good to know
Cool gear!
It wouldn't be portable but you could repurpose an office chair base into a stand. You might find free chairs in your area. Can you buy spigots with female threads on 1 end? If so, use an appropriate sized bolt with fender washer from the bottom up where the gas cylinder goer. Use another fender washer and spigot on top.
Alternatively, attach one of those baby plates to the chair base.
Hey, that’s cool!
Interesting, something we have all come across but never spent much time researching. Thanks!
I just use my 4ft tripod and dig a 3ft 11 inch hole. easy peazy
👍
These ideas are awesome!
Happy New years love your channel and all the gear you show. Stay safe

I use a mechanics drop light, A four ft LED garage light, A Utilitech Halogen Stand Work Light. That is very hot. For my small fishing DIY channel. Thanks for the information.
This is cool!!!
I was wondering when you would get to the baby plates, love the info
When I’m shooting outdoors I take a small shovel with me, it helps me get the lights down below the surface in certain situations that make for some really dramatic contrasting. Not such a great tip for studio lighting though 😅
You have the best videos
جميل
6:39 If you want lower, you can also dig a hole in the floor and put the light there.
Thanks Markus!!!
I don't know why but I was expecting a floor suction cup with a mount on it 😂 but I didn't even know that mounts got that low.
They have those also at Modern studio equipment. They use them for cars etc
Dear lord I bought mines 20 years a go.
During the pandemic that sheet of plywood was close to $6,000 :) Thanks for always being entertaining and informative.
Hahaha. I got a deal on mine, it was only $900!
@@MarkusPix laughing!!!
Just wait until the BIG flood 🌊
Is the Kupo like the Manfrotto - if so there is a threaded hole on the end one of the legs to go even lower. Obvioulsy a boom can have the light slung and go all the way down but can't really hide behind the subject.
Awesome video
And you can put on apple box too, and you can use straps to put that plywood onto a post without destroying it.
"I've just got too many apple boxes..." Said no Grip EVER! LOL!
Interesting thanks yahoo that is cool
Thank you
What happened to the caster that one/half of the wheel(s) came off?
Its a long story.
@@MarkusPix haha, now I really want to know.

Okay Markus, awesome as usual💯👍
I use cheap Ebay microphone stands with the centre tube hacksawed off and a spigot fitted..
I'm not the slightest interested in low light stands, but I still watched the whole video as I usually do when Markus releases something... 😂 There is always something to learn from these videos!
Light limbo how low can you go!! Nice
just take a regular one, and put the light below, instead of on it
Good luck with a softbox
Hi Mr
There's a thing called a platypod which I use like a baby plate but better
Better? lol. try and mount a twenty pound light with a 5/8" pin on one of those. There's a reason baby plates are quarter inch solid steel with not a bunch of grooves cut all through it. Platypods are meant for little stuff like consumer cameras etc
@@MarkusPix I don't travel with a 20lb light usually just 3 flexible led panels and a couple of flashes maybe 3lbs max
@@MarkusPix But I have had that issue in the studio but I just use a boom arm with a c stand
😻
how low can you go. i never want a light blow me
Markus! Would love to see you use vintage photography gear SLRs and stuff like that!
