Re: is there such a lightstand as this?

Lea,

    Oh well forget about my last email. You're going to have to work as a photographer for the rest of your life as there are no royalties.

Many years ago, I stumbled into a garage sale being run by a retired
photographer.  The only photographic thing he was selling was an old
SmithVictor light stand (with reflector designed for a photoflood at the end
of a short boom) that does exactly what you suggest - the legs automatically
collapse when the stand is lifted from the floor, and then redeploy when it
is put back in place. 

At this point, I would guess that stand to be at least 40 years old.
