Reddit reviews Manfrotto 5001B 74-Inch Nano Stand Replaces Manfrotto 001B - Black

I have been shooting more solo weddings and have been using a manfrotto nano stand for details and some night portraits or even first dances instead of a voice activated light stand and it's been great. Super well built, tiny, and lightweight. It's so tiny it attached right to the side of my Airport International or on top of my Retrospetive 30.

• Oil blotting paper! Makes a HUGE difference in reducing "shine"- I tend to pass them out before the formal photographs or especially if I'm pulling the B&G from sweaty dance floor to nighttime portraits with flash/videolight. Saves a LOT of time in post. I use these ones
  
  
• Flashes with built-in rechargeable lithium batteries and wireless receiver. Simplified a LOT for me, from prep time to setup. I love my Godox v850ii flashes!! (and because Godox is making all their stuff 100% compatible, I added a AD200 and AD600BM- both with built-in receivers- to my kit and thy all work perfectly together with one trigger on camera. Boom!)
  
  
• Manfrotto nano stands. I love my big honkin' Cheetahstands, but sometimes it's hard to fit them in a getting ready room or small venue- or take to an engagement session where we're hiking a long ways. So in those cases, I bring my fold-up Manfrotto mini stands. Perfect for holding a speedlight I intend to bounce.. and the "footprint" can be as small as 1ft! I put it right up against a corner or a table and it's out of any foot traffic.

My boss has a Manfrotto I believe it is this one evanrphoto posted. My boss used it all last year and this year no problems at all.
