Hi John,
I recently attended Zach's Onelight Workshop. I'm buying this Avenger light stand
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller...3317&is=REG based on Zach's recommendation. There are a couple light stands listed at his resource link
www.onelightworkshop.com/resources/ The three brands he recommended were Bogen, Avenger and Matthews and he said to avoid SP, Savage and JTL.
How's your shopping spree coming along?
Take care,
Lori
