BUFFALO WIRELESS ADAPTERS

This is a vacation beach sunset photo. Since we were flying from Buffalo to Florida, I had to travel light. I wanted an off camera key light, but didn't want to pack a light stand. What I did was bring a Kacey Pole Adapter and an umbrella swivel in my luggage. When in Florida, I stopped at a hardware store and bought a threaded broom handle which I could stick in the sand. Essentially a disposable $5 light stand. There was a $3 broom handle, but it was shorter than I liked, so I splurged and bought the $5 one.
