Flashguns and Lightstands

[flipfreak]

I am considering getting a lightstand to mount my flashlight on it. What is a cheap and easy way to do it other than using some tape and rubber bands? :bsmilie:

I saw this being sold but i want to try a possibly cheaper solution first.

And do give me some recommendations for lightstands i can use that is very light in weight and can extend to around 2m and places i can get it. Thanks.

Some flashes come with a 'foot' which you can stand the flash on, then you can screw that onto a tripod

i am looking for dedicated portable lightstands cos it definitely gonna be lighter than my tripod and can go higher as well.

The manfrotto 001 nano is a dedicated portable lightstand, definitely lighter than a tripod and can go to 190cm.
