richard,
can you point me in the right direction ?
the only ones i saw were 45" tall...way above bench height.
thanks
( did see some non brand shorter lower price, but would like to follow your lead.)

Not inexpensive
These stands are not inexpensive. But they are lightweight.
Have a wide base. (Won’t blow over)
Have a fairly impressive height range (from low to high)
Aluminum. (Won’t rust)

They have 22 pages of light stands.
It is easier to screw a ball swivel to your light stand to level your flags than trying to level a tripod.

My second set of flags (20-some yrs ago) were black and white stripey things with a hanging plastic windicator, the flags weren't great out here in my mild west coast conditions but they had circular levels and ball swivels...... since then, GOTTA' have 'em!
I was going to mention that but figured he could "spike" the legs to keep them upright. Rimfire shooters typically use those three legged stands and do just that.
I spike the legs on mine using aluminum gutter spikes. They're lightweight, set out where you can reach them and beat trying to jam that silly center-post in between the rocks in this left-coast glacial moraine and alluvia from the Missoula floods
we have breezes for sure...ben avery br range.
typical practice day , i think mild enough for no tie down.
on match days i have seen sand bags and spikes added.
i have tent pegs and am going to add a couple of small sand bags.
they got here today.
need to buy or make adapters.
the pivot shown above looks good.
