Light stand that expands up to 10' but small enough to fold up in camera bag?

I need something portable that will expand up to 10' tall to hold flash, but also can be stored away inside camera bag. So needs to be compact when not in use. Can you point me in direction please?

:cheers:

The problem with something like this is stability. Extending up 10' will require something with good legs.

The Nano only extends to 6 feet.

I don't think there's a product that meets your requirements. You'll either have to accept something a bit larger (that won't fit within a camera bag) or something that is less than 10' in height.

Have you looked at the Tamrac Zip shot? It doesn't go to 10', however it's very small when packed up.
