The Manfrotto 306 8' "Stacker" series of light stands is sturdy, but lightweight. Each stand three sections, two risers, and has legs that cleverly fold flat - so you can pack 7 stands in a lighting kit in the same space as 4 traditional units. A built in catch lets you clip two, three or four stands together; add a shoulder strap for easy carrying, and the limit is merely what weight you can manage.
Stacker stands are also available in plain brushed alumninum finish, or with steel construction. This is Bogen's old catalog #3321B.
