I just lucked in to great little bargin and was able to pick up, almost for nothing, a lot of about 10 small open faced 650 watt movie lights that were used for super 8 home movie making. Most of them were made to mount either in the camera filter slot, or, with an offset bracket, into the tripod screwhole.
What I want to do is get some hardware to mount them on my stands, which have 5/8" studs. Does anyone know of a good, realativly cheap supplier of lighting hardware?What I need is female 5/8" brackets and a way to mount them to the lights that will let them tilt at least 45%. I have checked the Mole-Richardson catalog, but would love to find something less expensive. If anyone has any suggestions for a local hardward solution that would be great also.
Thanks,
Dave.
