What do they make to hold a large reflector?

[jwbryson1]

Can somebody please tell me what they call the thing that holds a large reflector when you don't have a second set of hands?

I think it's a pole that turns from vertical to horizontal with a clamp of some sort at the end, but I'm not sure if it has a "real" name.

Thanks.

i always have a couple super clamp with me and i use a couple of lastolite reflector arm holders for my round reflectors, my larger reflector came with aluminium frames so superclamp also work.

you will need some solid heavy duty stand and some weight to keep them up. pray there is no strong wind.

i use a couple of these when i need to.

Reflector stands are a PITA indoors (having to reposition them) and a nightmare outdoors.

22" is a pretty small reflector and will have limited uses.

Even a 40" is limited. Westcott Photo Basics 304 5-in-1 Reflector Kit

Round works for head shots. For 3/4 or full body shots you need a rectangular reflector - ePhoto REF4060 40x60-Inches 5 in 1 Collapsible Oval Multi Disc Reflector
