Now a little bit less

common to us.

Photographers, compared to, maybe
filmmakers, are the things that I'm

going to talk about next.

But you will possibly

encounter them from time to time.

So the one, most common one,

these are the two different kinds of
pins, or mount sizes, also called spuds.

Basically the one that we're probably
going to encounter the most

is the 58th map, the 58th mount.

This is called a baby pin.

And

here's why

it's all about legos, because all of
you, these things are meant to follow

certain universal,

universal melt.

This is a baby pin,

or baby size.

This is

what fits in here, is,

this is essentially

the end of the c stand,

same size.

So, is this?

Ok?

This is probably the most common one
that you guys are going to encounter.

But every once in a while, when you
start dealing with huge movie lights,

you get the other end of it.

And this is called the junior.

And the junior is because this is an
adapter, so it allows you to convert to

both sides, which is that's the both
ends.

And so maybe you get the big light.

And if you've ever seen the really big
stands, where the top has

a mount that has a hole in it,

that's where the junior pin goes.

So it kind of gives you the reverse
mount.

Instead of the pin is there, and
there's a hole on the

light, the fixture it's the other way,
it's a hole.

And then the thing just uses a big
mountain, drops in, and you lock it to.

And that's when you'll encounter the
junior mount again.

You're not going to see it very
commonly, but just know that when

someone says, hey, to c stand.

Do you want a junior or a baby?

You know what you're looking for?

You looking for the five eights.

You're looking for the one in an eight.

So

there you go.

When shooting location.

This is

one of my favorite little

toys.

I learned this from a guy named cliff
hausner

in New York, and he's like, this is one
of my favorite portable lightstand

tricks.

And this comes in different sizes.

This one's a little bit bigger I use.

This is the large size.

I use the medium size, which is probably

there.

It's a little bit smaller.

This will extend

to here, which is super long.

Mine is probably

a six footer.

I think this is a nine.

This is a painter's pole.

You can get this at any

home provement store.

You can also buy an Amazon it's

cheap.

They're between 20 and forty dollars
for one of these.

And I actually really like it.

I think it's comfortable because of the
foam grips.

I think it actually looks really
decently professional, like, it looks

like a lighting tool.

It looks like

you're not just holding a big wooden
stick.

It's got a button.

It releases.

It fully extends.

You can hold the light wherever you
want.

You tend to brace it here.

But the downside of this

is this, right here is a regular
painter adapter,

a painter mount.

So what you will need is something
called a Casey pole adapter.

And what that does

is that converts this mount

into a cstan mount.

And so it just screws on the top.

And so you can now use it with your
light stands.

So you saw in that behind the Scenes
image, I was using

this

with a head, with an umbrella, and
you're just kind of anchoring it into

the shot.

It's one of these.

I think by the time it's all setting
done, you buy a painter's pole, you buy

the adapter

4040

or fifty Bucks

for one.

And I think it totally looks legit.

I think it doesn't look like you're
trying to do so, like

I've seen other photo brands that do a
similar thing.

And I actually think this is more
stable and more and more well made than

some of the other ones that I've seen.

So,

huge fan of this.

I think this works really well.

And the smaller one will even fit into
a full

decent sized suitcase.

This is a little bit large, but, you
know,

like the smaller one, side of your
backpack, side of your camera bag.

And it's a really great way to bring a
light on location.

In New York, we have to contend with
the fact that if you are shooting

outside, you

need a permit if you're putting down a
light stand.

So this

allows me to not use a light stand,
because you're not putting, putting

legs down anywhere.

So if this comes away, that you can run
and gun very quickly and

take care of, take your kind of
shooting without as much problems.

Very convertible,
