I use what I call "elephant stands"; though there's probably an official name for them: the square red stands that have four nesting sizes. I use the second smallest, it's about 16 or 18 inches high. And the working/nonworking leg thing I have wondered about, in that it seems impossible to get up that high without using a little push from the other leg, I try to make it as small a push as possible, but I will watch that video you link to. Maybe I'm cheating more than I thought I was; do you think the step is too high?
