Title: Polystyrene Boards for studio use (UK)
Post by: clarkee80 on April 01, 2008, 09:58:16 am

I need to get hold of some stands that will hold an 8' x 4' polystyrene boards up straight.

The boards are used as reflectors and separators in my studio.

My question is, can any UK photographers suggest where i can get stands to do the job?

I have worked with a photographer that uses poly boards with such stands, but he's had them so long he cant remember where he got them from!!!!

Any suggestions gratefully received.

More than likely Century Stands are what you are after:

Also many photogs hinge two boards together, using gaffers tape, to form a V. The boards stand straight up without needing C stand.
