Weight is always a good point! I've lost count of the number of times I've bought something, only to find that carting it around on location is a pain, and little by little it gets left behind more often, until eventually I'm not using it any more! Kit is no use at all if it stays in the boot of the car or the cupboard at home!
What has always puzzled me about C-stands is they are made of highly reflective metal instead of being black like everything else. They can, and do, reflect the light and mess up an otherwise perfectly lit scene.
It is odd, but when you consider that on a film set wind ups, roller stands, risers, and many others are bare metal as well it's less on an anomaly. I assume it's just a cost issue. Can't say I've ever noticed any real issues with reflections though.
Thank you for details
Great video!

Just saw a video where it showed that many people attach the light the wrong way just like you are doing...😮

@@Tommilesphotography OK, thanks for the explanation. 👍
They sell black ones too. However a company's goal is to make money. Therefore, the black C-stands cost more due to them being less reflective.
