NEW! See ALL my eBay auctions; all items, kits, and packages! Here's a special page, where you can find almost every one of my auction packages, even those which are NOT currently running on eBay, and many NEW auctions that will be coming in the days and weeks ahead! Be among the cognoscenti, Check it out now!

Everything I sell is BRAND NEW with the manufacturer's full one year warrantee, (unlike others who sell returned, discontinued, and blemished equipment).

Unlike many of the items you'll find listed on eBay, these light stands are Brand New, not old, used, banged-up cast-offs that someone else is trying to get rid of. These are 100% new, perfect, and come with the manufacturer's full one year warantee. Consider this when making your purchasing decisions.

Top: 3/8" stud, 1/4" thread, type A.
Size: 2.8 ft to 6.5 feet; Weight: 2.4 lbs. ea.

Here's a truly fabulous deal on some excellent quality light stands. These Brand New Britek light stands extend to a height of 6 1/2 Feet, and fold down (fully assembled) to only 2.8 feet for easy packing and transport.

You're bidding on sets of Three brand new light stands in this auction. Your single bid is payment for a set of 3 brand new light stands. This is a DUTCH auction for individual sets of 3 light stands each; there are 12 sets of 3 stands available in this auction (36 light stands total). If you bid on (& win) two sets, you'll get SIX light stands; if you bid on and win three sets, you'll get 9 light stands, etc. If you're uncertain about anything, just ask me.

These stands have a black finish which reduces unwanted glare; three vertical sections (19mm, 16mm, 13mm), and three double-braced legs (16mm), which provide excellent stability in the studio or on location. They're topped with a standard 3/8" stud, with a 1/4" thread, type A. Sturdy as all get out, yet only weigh about 2.4 lbs. (so you can pack up a set of three stands for under 8 lbs. for location shoots - believe me, schlepping around anything much heavier can give you a hernia, especially when added to all your other gear). Yet these babies can be folded up and put in the corner of your closet and take up very little space.

I've been using these same stands for over a year now, and couldn't be happier! You'll probably love 'em, too. They're sized perfectly for multiple uses: with a low height of 2.8 feet, they're great for background lighting; at 5 to 6 1/2 feet they're perfect for eye level or lighting a sitting subject from above, or even for hairlights; and adjusting them anywhere in-between, they're perfect for the vast majority of subject-level lighting, whether you're photographing kids or people or things! BTW, as stated above, you'll be buying brand new stands here, NOT my used ones (those are mine! you can't have them; I like them, and I'm gonna keep them; you go buy your own! (hey, at this great price, buy several. :). ALSO, if you need a little larger light stands, check my other auctions for the 7 1/2 foot models!

Reality Check: Hey, if you're rich, I'd suggest buying a set of bigger, heavier (& more expensive) stands for your pro studio setup, and another set of lightweight stands for location shoots; but my studio is in my house, and I don't have 20 foot ceilings for the 18' stands anyway, so these stands work just fine for me. 6.5 feet is plenty high, for most uses (and larger stands are also available; see my other auctions). And they're sturdy enough for studio work, and light enough for location work. Realize, though, that these stands, while certainly a great deal and a marvelous value, are the working photog's Chevys and Fords; not Rolls Royces. Treat them with minimal respect, and they'll see you through to old age; but if you're looking for the Ferraris of light stands, go buy something else. At this price, these stands are good quality and a wonderful deal. All brand new and, of course, they come with the manufacturer's full warrantee. Order several, and have a great setup. As with all quality light stands, these are capable of accepting many custom (as well as standard) light stand accessories (booms, clamps, studs, swivels, adapters, ball tilt heads, etc., etc.), as your needs may develop. These sturdy light stands are rated to hold a load of 9 pounds, so they're likely to be able to hold most lighting units you're using.

All the sections of these stands are quality tubular stock, NOT the cheapie solid ones (which are heavier and less versatile, as well as cheaper). The only "cheap" part of these stands is the price - not the quality!
Bid now, while they're still in stock.

I always have photo equipment, pro strobes, background systems, and other great photo stuff, etc., listed.

Shipping for these babies is a real pain! Each one is packed in its own heavy, padded, cardboard case, and that seriously increases their weight To add insult to injury, they're long and that increases the shipping cost even more! Consequently shipping is $9.90 each (29.70 total) for ground delivery (in contiguous lower 48 US States) for each set of 3 light stands! If you want a shipping quote, just ask me. Payments by credit cards, cashier's checks and money orders shipped immediately; personal/business checks are welcome, but order will be held until check clears. Thank you for taking the time to view this auction, may you have best of luck, and happy bidding!!

Guaranteed! These brand new, top quality, stands equal or surpass in quality many with retail list prices far higher (try double or triple and sometimes even more)! Go ahead, check with your local suppliers or store(s). Bid responsibly, but with confidence. These units are 100% guaranteed to be brand new, with manufacturer's warrantee! You may return these stands (in new and undamaged condition, of course) within 7 days of receipt for a full refund (excluding shipping), if they are not exactly as described above in every way. Trust me, you'll love them! For literally hundreds of other, more impartial and objective opinions, check my feedback; and see what every other customer has had to say about these stands (as well as every other item I've ever sold), and my service, and my commitment to 100% customer satisfaction! Hey, us struggling photo/video folks have to stick together, y'know (and all of us are always struggling - to make that elusive "perfect" photograph or vid, huh?). Thanks again for viewing this auction; feel free to e-mail any questions to me. PhotoSource3@pss3.com

Technique: The most important "secret" of good photography or videography is the thought the photographer puts into a picture before s/he even considers what type of film to use! The point here is that we have to train ourselves to think before we shoot! What color is our subject? How can we make that color (or shade) stand out? Look at the example here, and see how the simple choice of using a background that matches our subject's eye color can improve our pictures. In the lovely picture to your left, notice how the blue-violet shadows to the right of the model's head accentuate her blue eyes. Notice, too how half the face is in a light shadow, adding depth and texture. We have to ask ourselves: What do we want to emphasize in our picture? How will we direct our viewers' eye to our subject? If it's an outdoors photograph, how will we separate our main subject from any other distracting elements in our photograph? At which angle should we shoot? Is it important to establish place in this photograph (i.e., is it important for the viewer to know where our subject is? Or do we want to hide the location)? If we're shooting people, what is our victim's least appealing feature (i.e., a large nose, a bald head, pot belly, lotsa wrinkles, etc.:)? How can we hide or de-emphasize it? What's our subject's most appealing feature (i.e., eyes, profile, smile, boobs - oops! sorry, I couldn't resist:) ? How can we emphasize the attractive aspects of our subjects? These are the questions photographers have to ask, before we shoot. THINK before you shoot! MAKE a photograph - don't "take" a snapshot! Learn to "design" your picture before you pick up your camera! Take a piece of paper and a pencil, and sketch out what you want in the picture you're considering; this will be a great help in the beginning, and after a few weeks or months of doing this, you'll start to do it all in your head, and won't need the pencil and paper any more. I promise you that a good photograph doesn't require the genius of an Einstein - it just takes a little thought and preparation (creativity and practice doesn't hurt either)! You don't have to study photography for 20 years, just train yourself to think before you shoot! Don't try to plan out 100 subjects all at once; think about one or two, and then use 10 rolls of film on just a few ideas. Shoot from different angles; shoot from different heights; shoot with different lighting angles; shoot with color film; shoot with black and white film; think, then shoot! Pretty soon, you'll wake up one day and realize that you've changed; you'll look at the world differently; you'll "see" things most people never even notice; one day, you'll realize that you've become something special; something different, but different in a most amazing and wonderful way; you will have become - a photographer!

Quickie Technique #4: Exposure - All meters built into all cameras are "reflection" meters; they read the light reflected by our subjects AND everything else in our viewfinder! This often causes incorrect readings, and pictures that turn out looking like doo-doo. Instead of letting our camera's meter read the exposure from our whole frame, either zoom in to fill the viewfinder with our subject (i.e., the face of our subject, or the flower's petals, or the black cat's coat, etc.), or, if you're not using a zoom lens, walk up close to our subject, fill the viewfinder with the most important part of our subject (i.e., the face, etc. as described above), then, when our viewfinder is filled with our subject and NOT with the surroundings, lock in exposure (e.g., press the shutter button half-way down), and zoom out or back up, re-compose the shot, and then press the shutter button all the way down and make the exposure! I think you'll be amazed with the results! More "quickie techniques" information will be included in my other auction descriptions. Thank you for viewing this auction, and may you have the very best of luck! Tell me more about getting perfect exposure...

From whom should you buy your photo/video equipment? Hey, it's your hard-earned money, so you should buy from anybody you darn well like! However, one of the advantages of buying from another photographer is that, unlike "salesmen," who just want to "sell" things to you, a photographer will know what you need, and what you don't need; a photographer will know why you'll need something, and why you won't need something; a photographer will have actually used the equipment being sold, and will be able to offer advice based on real-life experience. Of course, the facts that photo/videographers (like us) are usually much better-looking, a lot smarter, definitely kinder, and unquestionably much more creative than other folks, doesn't hurt either, does it? ;-)

Unbelievable as it may be, this is a NO RESERVE Auction!

You could win a set of three Brand New light stands for less than you'd pay for a single light stand elsewhere! Don't delay - bid today! And don't fail to check out all my other great auctions, too!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building..."
That's it for the goodies, folks; now for the details...

Shipping & handling: These weigh a bit, so I'd vote for UPS ground delivery (shipping via UPS Ground is 9.90 each, which is $29.70 for the set of 3 in the lower 48 USA states); other shipping methods are available (UPS 3 Day, Next Day Air or Fed Express, etc.), buyer chooses. E-mail me if you want a shipping quote. Payments by credit cards, cashier's checks and money orders shipped immediately; personal/business checks are welcome, but will be held until check clears (10-12 business days). California residents subject to sales tax (sorry). Thank you for taking the time to view this auction, may you have best of luck, and happy bidding!! And remember, folks, unlike many of the used items you'll find in other auctions, where you're buying someone else's old, outdated, banged-up, used equipment, here you're getting BRAND NEW, quality photographic equipment with full (one year) manufacturer's warranty! Think about it. See all your payment and shipping options here.

Oh, BTW, if you should ever outgrow these light stands (unlikely), but if you do, you can either trade them in or sell them (maybe even right here on eBay) - and you might even be able to sell them for as much as (or maybe even more than) you paid for them! So unlike that great computer we're all using right now (which will be almost worthless, for resale purposes, in 6 months or a year), this photographic equipment could retain a good portion (if not all) of its value if or when you're ready to move on.

Guaranteed! These brand new, top quality, light stands equal or surpass those with retail list prices far higher! Go ahead, check with your local photo store(s). Bid responsibly, but with confidence. These items are 100% guaranteed to be brand new, with manufacturer's full one year warrantee! You may return these (in new and undamaged condition, of course) within 7 days of receipt for a full refund (excluding shipping), if it is not exactly as described above in every way. Trust me, you'll love them! For hundreds of more impartial and objective opinions, check my feedback; and see what every other customer has had to say about this product (as well as every other item I've ever sold), and about my service, and my commitment to 100% customer satisfaction! Hey, us struggling photogs have to stick together, y'know (and all of us are always struggling - to make that elusive "perfect" photo or video, huh?).

I hope this helps provide enough alternatives for you (if not, feel free to send in your suggestions; e-mail me here). One of the differences between me and the big guys, is the fact that I'm always willing to do whatever I possibly can to help out my customers in whatever ways are needed. Here's my philosophy on "Customer Service." Will I ship to Canada and other countries? Sure I will! But read this before placing an out-of-the-USA bid. Basically, if you're willing to pay the increased shipping charges, then I'll probably be happy to ship to you.
