October Promotion: 20% Off Light Stands, Backgrounds, and Lighting Accessories
As much as we all love getting new cameras and lenses, it's important to consider the many lighting and studio accessories that bring your shoots to the next level. Fortunately, ProMaster is running a 20% off sale on all light stands, backgrounds, and lighting accessories for the entire month of October! Here are a few studio must haves we recommend.
The tried and true c-stand is a crucial piece of equipment for any studio setting. The ProMaster 10.9’ Professional C-Stand Kit has a 22lb weight capacity, which means you can mount nearly any strobe or continuous LED without hesitation. With approximately an 11 foot reach this stand offers great flexibility when trying to configure the light's distance from your subject. Add the 40” extension arm using one of the two included grip heads and you have some serious reach!
Another must have for any studio is a background stand. Background stands allow you to quickly interchange both the look and feel of your entire shoot without the need for built in psych walls. The ProMaster Telescoping Background Stand Set comes with 2 heavy duty stands joined by a 2-piece crossbar. With the stand’s carrying case, you can take your studio with you on your next shoot! Add in one of our Wrinkle Resistant Backdrops and you’ll be ready to start photographing your subject.
Sometimes we need added flexibility when shooting and this is where the ProMaster Solid Pop-Up Background comes into play. This dual sided pop-up background is fast to set up and collapses down into a small and transportable carrying case. This piece comes in handy when shooting small products where a full backdrop may not be necessary. Better yet, attach it to a light stand and use it to bounce existing light with the white side or quickly flip the background and add extra contrast to your scene with the black side.
Studio lighting can become quite heavy and it's important for both the safety of those on set and the lights themselves that you have a well anchored base. This is where the ProMaster Studio Weight Bags come into play. With an 18lb capacity and double zippered pouches these can greatly improve the stability of your lights while ensuring none of the sand or steel shot makes its way onto the floor of your set. Quickly hang your weight bag to achieve more optimal balance with the included carabiner that attaches directly to D-rings located on either side of the red handle.
There are some elements of a studio that are truly the unsung heroes. Clip clamps are one of those pieces that although many may forget are undeniably useful in a wide array of circumstances. ProMaster Large Clip Clamps allow you to add additional fill boards, prevent backdrops from unwinding, and so much more. You can never have enough extra grip equipment as you never know when it may come in handy. With both a ⅝” receiver and a stud with ⅜”-16 female threads inside, your mounting options are nearly unlimited with this piece.
