I've been looking for flashlight holder that will allow me to aim a small LED (1" - CR123 battery diameter most likely) and attach to a standard 5/8" photo/video light stand.
So far the options are rigging rather large and expensive Manfrotto or Matthews grip gear or rubberbands and duct tape....
What I would like to find is a reasonably priced gadget with clamps on opposite ends (one for the stand, one for the flashlight) and maybe a ball head or two swivels, with adjustable locks.
I'd like to mount and aim several small LED flashlights running up and down a lightstand.
Perhaps I should design one and find a plastics manufacturer? But maybe one already exists? Thanks!
PS: Don't get into flashlights, those guys are so nerdy they make us look cool.
