Odyssey LTP2 Professional Tripod Stand with Adjustable T-Bar - Perfect for DJ Equipment, Lighting, and Studio Use

I direct elementary theater, but unfortunately our stage (raised 3 feet off the ground) wasn't built with any lights, and the ceiling is too tall to reach. The height of this stand was the biggest selling point for me. I needed something easy to set up, tall enough to shine DOWN onto the stage, and sturdy enough to use around kids. This fit the bill. I set it up in the front corners, just off the stage. Since my stage is 3ft high, that still gives me 9 feet above my tiny stage to shine lights. I hang LEDs from it without any problems, as they are pretty light-weight. My middle school students don't have any trouble setting it up, so I count it as a win!
