I thought they already come with the kino-flo kits... But they did not. So I need light stands. Thanks.

Need Light Stands for KINO FLO DIVA 400 and 200

At my rental shop we use the Lowel Uni TO with our Diva 400's. It has a sizable base (3 feet, 7 inches) but most important, it folds up short enough to fit it the case.

This means you always have your stand with the light. The whole combination is also under the airlines' weight limit. I don't know if this works with the 200's.
We also use a "gooseneck" to offset the lights center of gravity and position it directly over the stand. I can't remember where we got ours, but this company sells something similar:

Hope that helps.

I make no argument that a C-stand is less solid than a Lowel stand. But you can't take it on a plane, and you can't keep it with the light as a one piece "Kit", and they're not light weight by any means. They are right about Lowel stands though: they lock their sections by pinching the tube, rather than pushing a brake against the tube. This is not ideal. Having said that, the Uni TO is a lot more solid than the typical Lowel stand that holds up a Prolight.

I use a C stand for mine. Only avaialble in Japan so its much use to you. But Id go with this.
Originally posted by taubkinLowell tripods don't last a long time. If you go the C-stand route, you'll end up with a little mopre bulk, but a timeless item. Can also find a couple of used ones on ebay...

yeah, divas won't float on a lightweight stand, you really need something heftier. C-stands are good, but will definately need to be sand bagged, I really prefer a hefty baby stand.01.PRODUCTIONS
