Sturdy Steel DIY Lightstand Tutorial

This is a very interesting light stand idea, more expensive and difficult than the others, and maybe worth just buying a pro light stand instead. It still looks cool!

I'm not going to build one, but if anyone does, drop a comment on how it works out bellow!

It looks like the idea will be very sturdy, but be careful with wires and what not, as metal conducts electricity, and electricity can be lethal.

The design seems easy enough to build, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow, with images to help guide you. Great article, not so great design.

I wouldn't so much recommend this idea, because of cost, weight, and price. But if this type of design floats your boat, by all means try it out, and definitely comment or email me with your experiences!
