Light stand adapter
 

Hi guys, I have a couple dark venues next week and want to use my halogen lights on a stand but need some kind of adapter to clamp onto light then screw onto light stand thread ( see picture) steve

I think you're looking for a TVMP adapter: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...P_Yoke_to.html

You have a baby pin stand, and you want to attach something with no stand connector at all, right?

There's also a light duty one that has a 1/4-20 stud at the top: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...n_adapter.html

But I need it longer than the usual ones. About 40 to 50 cm

Steve, if you get stuck, Ive got 2 x 800 watt red heads with stands you can borrow. I'm up the A59 , just south of Preston.

Thanks Peter that's very kind of you, but i may invest in some myself as the venues seem to be getting darker by the weeks, plus the DJs are becoming Dracula's for everything dark?

Cheers nate that might do it , but may be to small, here is the hologan light that's great and a clamp with the male thread on the end that needs to go into female, but the top of lightstand in earlier picture also has a male thread. So I need female one end to go on male on stand then the male from lamp clamp to go into female. Phew might do what Peter has get two red heads! Haha

Steve, that spring clamp on the light's foam handle doesn't look sturdy enough to mount to any stand, especially with another adaptor in the chain.
There is not only torque on the spring, but on the ball, adaptor and 1/4 20 thread as well.
I think your idea of getting a couple of used Red heads is a good one. :)

Think your right ken thank you

Re: Light stand adapter
 

Steve, I'll sell you my red heads if you make a reasonable offer. They'll fit your stand.

Re: Light stand adapter
 

Hi Peter, have they got the barn doors on them, with or without stands? Two brand new with stands on eBay 68 quid?

Re: Light stand adapter
 

That's a good price Steve, I'd be asking £60 for mine. If you decide to go the Ebay route, HWAstudios, which I think you might be looking at, have a look at their dimmable red heads. They're a little more expensive but sometimes 800w can burn your eyes out 😊

Re: Light stand adapter
 

Cheers Peter they are the ones I am looking at as they are dimmable cheers mate

Re: Light stand adapter
 

Steve, the one's for £68 don't have dimmers. The dimmer version ar £79 for 2.

Re: Light stand adapter
 

Ye that's what I mean cheers Pete

Re: Light stand adapter
 

Have yours for sale got the dimmers, stands and barn doors Pete?

Re: Light stand adapter
 

No, mine don't have dimmers but they have barn doors and stands.

I would seriously consider getting ones with dimmers. I've shot in situations where 800 watts was too much and could have done with dimmers. Perhaps you might be OK if you bounce the light off the ceiling.

Re: Light stand adapter
 

Ok Pete thanks for advice I have got four leds I will use them on stands and on camera cheers bud
