Since it's +1C and snowing outside, I was getting bored, so I looked for something to do. A buddy of mine had given me an old microphone stand, and it gave me an idea. I converted it to be my new 5-in-1 reflector stand/holder.Here's a few shots to show you what I mean:

The bracket I used to hold the clamp is from an old blood pressure cuff. I just bent it into a shape that would allow the reflector to hang in front of the stand. I used a piece of pipe foam tubing for the column to prevent chafing the reflector.
What's nice about this is that I can set it at different heights as necessary, and the heavy weighted bottom of the stand keeps it steady, and it takes up minimal floor space, unlike a regular light stand.
