Photography Asked by Jean-Denis Muys on May 5, 2021
I have these ColorSpike lights that I want to put on a stand. They come with a stand adapter that ends with a 5/8" male stud. So now I am confused: apparently, usually these studs appear on the stands, not the lights.
So which kind of light stand or adapter should I buy? I tried to look at all the light stand accessories at B&H, but I could not find a solution and I am really confused
In the photo, I hold the ColorSpike fixture in front of a screen that shows the top of a typical stand that I found online.
Thanks Mike Sowsun for your detailed answer. I am now the proud owner of the second Light Stand Bracket that you showed. I can fix the ColorSpike fixture on it, but at the other end there is a fixed protruding screw, which doesn’t seem easy to fit on a standard tripod. See these two new photos:
You need an adjustable Light Stand Bracket which has receptacles for 5/8” studs on both ends. They are designed to allow you to position the light at any angle and most of them allow the use of an umbrella for reflecting the light on your subject.
Near the bottom of the ColorSpike webpage is a photo that shows an optional "swivel Mounting Kit".
These last 2 photos are from the “ColorSpike” webpage and show examples of how the lights can be mounted to a light stand with a standard bracket.
