Advice on stands

Finally decided to make the purchase and am now getting everything together for an 8 camera setup.

In looking for stands for the cameras I came across these that can extent to 11.5 ft!

LightStands

I have read that height is your friend with this setup, but is that too high?

Also, what sort of attachment bracket do I need for the top and lower cameras for a 8 camera setup?

Thanks.

The cameras themselves use a 1/4"-20 thread so the standard mount on the srand would work.

Without seeing it in person the stand looks fairly sturdy, you just want to make sure that it is fairly stable.

We usually have our upper cameras set to at least 10' here, so height wise, this is pretty good.

For the lower cameras, you would be looking for some type of clamp, that can attach to the stand pole itself

For C-clamps... something like the SLIK Pipe Clamp Head that you offer?

If it will fit on the poles (diameter size)
