Stepladders

[EE Type 3]

Not really photography, but has something to lend to it.

I need a new stepladder for photograhy, as usually most of my locations either have a high bridge side, or a large hedge. I need to buy a new one basically. I'm looking for a sturdy, compact ladder that gives a fair bit of height, but at the same time is cheap

Any links to sites I can have a gander at?

Cheers
Dave

I hear the 'JL-5872' is a good one. Very sturdy and fairly compact...

I'd wait and borrow the SL 4000 that he has on pre-order

Call me controversial, but instead of a step ladder, how about getting right down low on your knees, or even lie right down and use a wide angle lens? If its good enough for Top Gear its good enough for me!

If you need additional height, how is lying on the floor going to help? :?

 

[Mike McCormac]

Loads of people use steps to get a bit higher. That's cool. So my point is try being different and get down low. That way you don't need any steps, but often something to lie on is handy...!

 

[Craig]

The original poster wanted stoatstepladders to see over high bridges and hedges, so getting low down probably wouldn't help

I take you point about being different though.

 

[Mike McCormac]

OK - so shoot under the hedge!!!

There's nowt wrong with trying that different perspective! - although I can't see that lying down on a bridge will do you much good unless you like shots of brickwork.

But really, any cheap lightweight stepladder from a DIY shop will do. You don't need anything fancy.

He also asked the question almost 10 months ago, so the chances are he has already bought some or found a solution.

Rule 1 l. You should not 'dig up' an old thread unless you have something worthwhile to post in it

A £14.99 one from Nettos is grand!! Sturdy too! And I can carry it on one finger 8)
