Advantages of Using an L Bracket

This episode is all about how to make your own light stand quickly and easily for much cheaper than a regular light stand. I bought an Avenger L bracket and attached it to a 2×4, you can mount it to a wall or any other surface that is stable enough. This is great for shooting from the ground or ceiling and getting those bulky stands out of the way.

Hey Aaron, I was waiting for a “balls” joke at the end of the video…. Just out of curiousity: why did you write it on your forearm??

Anyone else having trouble finding the L brackets on the avenger website?

Yep – Tried a Google search - Even did a screen capture and tried a Tineye search – No results! Can we have specifics Aaron?!! Pretty please!

Thanks Amelia – Got it now! A search for “Avenger F809″ does the trick nicely!

It’s only $16 at the B&H link. I am going to get one of these I shoot in my garage and dont have a lot of space so this would be so perfect.
