That's what I got. http://www.alienbees.com/flash.html The B1600. 13 ft light stand. I can't imagine wanting to extend a light up 13 ft...the 10 ft would be more than sufficient for me in terms of height. But I liked the idea of a larger footprint. 4 ft vs 3ft for the 10ft. Since I'm hanging a 5' umbrella off it, I wanted a stand that was as stable as possible. I got the 5 ft translucent white umbrella. (The 32 in one, too. Just because like Mark said, it's like an elephant in an elevator. :) I'm just glad that 5 ft was the biggest umbrella alien bees has. Otherwise, I'd have probably gone larger. :) I think this is really a good size. Not *too* unmanageable, but it's like a good sized window. -- Eric http://canid.com/
