Long John Silvers / Black Birds

Long John Silvers (Black Birds) is for large HMI and Tungsten light stands that come with large rubber wheels that can navigate all sorts of terrain.  They crank up to 18’ in height.  

I find that since these stands have come out I have at least 2 if not 4 on the truck. The reason is that the sun is not always at 12 feet.  You need that extra 6 feet to make the sun look realistic.
