Are these stands good for the extandable arm that holds a reflector?

Not stable enough for an arm. Even if it's holding a reflector. Maybe with a sandbag, but I recommend a stand with a bigger footprint. This stand isn't even heavy enough for a medium softbox. Just suitable for a small flash and umbrella.

These are lightweight, but they are fairly sturdy. I use one for an 8' arm that holds an overhead light and it works fine, but if requires a counter weight along with weights to hold the stand on the ground. If you're on a tight budget these will do for indoor use with a reflector.

The extendable arm must have a shoe/holder or you'll need a shoe/holder in order to be able to hold the extendable arm; I had to get a Neewr Flash Shoe Umbrella Holder Type E to hold my diffuser umbrellas.

I have only used these monitors on dual arm mounts. In my opinion the biggest drawback to these budget monitors is the weak stands with no height adjustments. Couple a pair with a dual arm monitor mount however and you have a winning combination.

I used the same stand that I used for hanging my photo lighting Muslin cloths. You can buy them here on Amazon

I own these stands, but only use them with speed lights. As I have used studio strobes in the past I would say the base is wide and sturdy enough, but would not use them on these stands unless your are planning to use sand bags as well, especially with modifiers attached. Hope this helps with your decision.

Jody,I bought 2 sets of these and replaced my damaged reflectors and they work perfectly. I only advise for you to check your current reflector shield to make sure it's a 3 hole reflector so it matches what you are going to buy. It works perfectly and easy to put together.Art

Yes you can , the stand is heavy and will hold up , plus both arm can be moved.

To be honest, I did not look up what I have .. But.. With ARMD I must have light for close up work. Since the top of the stand is flexible, and that makes it perfect. When not doing close up work, it sits next to my LayZBoy, with the bulb twisted away, for indirect light. I only have to move it 3', for each function.One con, it's top heavy, so u have have it constantly aligned to the base; which needs to be tightened once in a while.I'm very satisfied. Bulb size is important.

Yes. However, these are very cheaply constructed and rickety. I would suggest a slightly heavier duty light stand. Possibly the Paul Buff 10' (http://www.paulcbuff.com/ls3050.php) or the PBL (http://www.amazon.com/PBL-Cushioned-Kaeser-Photographic-Lighting/dp/B009POMCGW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1421216017&sr;=8-1&ke;ywords=10%27+light+stand).

If you have sandbags then there should be no problem. It's basically a medium sized lightstand. The boom arm can handle reflectors and speedlights. I do not recommend attaching anything heavier on the boom arm.

I have a reflector arm so I've never tried to hang a reflector from this boom. I would try to attach two spring clamps from Home Depot using coated wire (to protect the finish of the boom arm) and then attach the reflector with the clamps.

They will work with any reflector between 7 to 8" in outer diameter, provided it has a rim. The latch and thumbscrew assembly is hard to photo, but it is adjustable.

I would NOT recommend it. It worked well to hold a 32" reflector with several adjustments for a product shoot. But, I returned the item. I didn't like the design on this. The clamps were hard to press open and the knobs were in the way in order to depress the clamps that hold the reflector. Also the knob that tightens on top of the stand should be on the other side in order for it to fold down. To suspend a softbox? I would use a C-Stand with the appropriate boom, and maybe a sand bag.

no, You would have to use a mounting bracket of some sort. They can be found for around $10 for a basic stand at wally world.

Yes. You can buy the optional brackets for mounting it to other stands, or if your handy, you could make the mounting brackets.

Yes, but you want to be careful about the arm you buy. This unit is a little heavy. I broke the mount on the arm I bought and had to make some modifications to make it hold still.

If the dimensions are similar it should work. The stand is a little flimsy, so the bendable-arm will have to be adjusted for balance. Good luck.

Any tripod stand would work so long as it fits the speedlight. I don't use it much anymore because it doesn't swivel. I gave it a great review for the time, but I've outgrown it. That "metal" is juts like foil to help reflect light from the speedlight.
