Yeah. I have a dog that follows commands pretty well but I'm not sure
she'd be up for this job!
I can SO SEE this light stand in my head. Maybe I'll design it and
that'll be how I make my millions....

I shot a wedding this weekend, did the dressing candids with a Canon
580EX flash on a stand shooting through an umbrella.
As the bride didn't stand still and as the dressing area had many
nooks and crannies, I had to move my gear a bunch.
It crossed my mind that the thing that would be incredibly perfect in
a situation like this is a light stand with collapsable legs; legs
that would automatically come to the middle when I picked the stand
up
then spread back out again when I put it down.
Does such a thing exist? If so, what's it called?
The usual term (at least over at Strobist) is "voice activated light-
stand".
They mean "an assistant", though :-), not a relatively cheap piece of
equipment.
