If you are asking what makes a turtle stand different...

The legs are spring loaded like a standard c-stand... but notice the small knob at the bottom, which looks like it's a rocky mountain stand. It is NOT a rocky mountain stand. Instead of allowing the legs to adjust for uneven terrain, the knob actually loosens the stand shaft out of the legs. This allows a junior receptor available. Lights or other junior pin objects can be set very low to the ground, if needed.

Almost all large lights 5k + are junior sized pins. You can also use a lollypop or buttplug (yes, it's called a buttplug) to adapt for junior pins or receptors.

I was actually referring to the diffusion, but now that you bring up the
whole Turtle stand thing it's definitely something I'd look into now. The main
purpose of my list was for anyone on here to make suggestion as to why I should
or should not get an item.

If you do alot of on-location interviews and like to keep your kit small, I'm a big fan of the road rags kits. They quite handy and quick to setup and easy to pack away. Just a tad pricey.

Ok thanks the flag setup is simple right because I see there some type of collapsible frame seems you pop ya flag in there and you're all set?

Ah, sorry 'bout that.

The turtle stand is really a luxury. If you were to get a c-stand, I'd get a rocky mountain over the turtle. Only because it sounds like you don't really own any big lights so that (turtle) would be useless.

Thanks a lot guys... I dunno but was my thread pointless and not clear, or is it that people don't know me on here?
