Budget rolling stand options for lightweight Steadicam rigs
22 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A Lowel KS stand paired with LC casters provides an economical mobile solution for lightweight rigs at approximately $114 total cost.
- The Mole 750 roller stand features perpendicular legs that hinge at the base for folding and lock by flipping the stand over, though it costs around $275.
- A basic Lowel Senior stand serves as an inexpensive stationary alternative when mobility is not required.
Depends on
- The Lowel KS with casters combination is suitable only for lightweight rigs and offers reduced stability compared to stands with triangulating leg designs.
- Pricing information is from 2004 and reflects North American costs at that time.
- The discussion excludes cart-type and Magliner stands as alternative options.
