How to WINDPROOF light stands with a StandDaddy™ A "better than DIY" piece of grip equipment

StandDaddy is a “better than DIY” piece of lighting grip equipment that features an unbreakable collar that uses inexpensive barbell weights to stabilize your light stands or tripods. It is very important to windproof your light stands when you are shooting on location if you don’t want to risk damaging hundreds or even thousands of dollars with of lighting or camera gear. Light modifiers like umbrellas or parabolic reflectors or beauty dishes weren’t really designed with outdoor shooting in mind. We’ve all seen what happens to an umbrella in the wind - add a light stand and an expensive speedlight or monolight with a battery pack and you have a recipe for disaster. For decades the standard solution for photographers has been sandbags draped over the legs of a light stand. More recently similar bags have emerged that let you add weights, but like the sandbags, these tend to place the weight near the center and don’t really offer much counterbalance. Plus they are awkward and bulky to transport to your location shoot. The StandDaddy has a one inch hole that will accommodate most light stands. and it supports any standard barbell exercise weight plate also with a one inch hole. It is made with an industrial grade composite material that renders it virtually unbreakable with normal use and it comes with a lifetime warranty for a full replacement if you break it. Simply slide your weight over the leg of your stand and slide the StandDaddy on and tighten the thumbscrew. There is no need to over tighten the screw and the screw won’t damage or dent your stands - even the cheap ones. In this video I will show you how I use the StandDaddy with LumoPro LP180R speedlites and Paul C Buff Digibee 800’s.
