Can it be rigged to hold a reflector?

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.

I dont know if its possible unless you can get something sturdy to attach it to and keep the telescope balanced. You can try looking for a table top tripod but the telescope has to be secure otherwise it might fall because its heavy and bulky

It is possible depending on the size. You may have to use additional accessories like an articulating swivel arm to place it securely where you need it. Remeber it will add weight as well. I tend to use the rig mounted on a tripod as well. Consider what else you want to mount on it such as lights or a digital sound recorder or microphone for example... So you can determine where to put what.

Yes, it does. You can adjust the balance point relative to where it attaches to a light stand, with a solid weight at the end....and so can tilt a reflector up or down and provide balance with less stress on the clips.

The reflector is about 9 inches in diameter and 7 inches deep. If you are thinking about attaching the prongs to a table, it would be about 12 inches high.

I use it with a clamp lamp with a metal reflector. The LED light is pretty small (<4in. in diameter), so you don't have to worry about it not fitting.

Yes. Tilt it slighly up or down or rotate a few degrees left ot right. You can also cover parts of the reflective surface with a towel.

It does - with some clever assembly. I mounted it on the wide-angle reflector with the umbrella mount on top. It's not earthquake save, but it will hold if you're careful. A better fit would be a slightly larger reflector with a less wide angle, but yeah, it does work.

Yes. I installed mine in a Hydrofarm Radiant 8 reflector. Working good so far.

No. We have one from an older bugger, and will try to attach it. It does come with 2 small red reflectors....not much use during the day though

i would just get some reflector tape, b/c there is little surface area to work with

I have tried several times with no luck. I have decided it 's not supposed to go back in. This reflector is made for the studio and not easily mobile. They are nice, but not really what I was looking for. I'm a little disappointed.

Hmm... probably not, but could be done with some mounts. I believe this company makes mounts for different scenarios, so you may want to check that out.

I Used a Satellite dish mast mount. It work just fine. the base can be adjusted to about any angle for roof mounting or can be used as a pole mount such a a 4x4.

it does have mounting holes on the back. I woud assume any type of reflector would adapt to this rack.

It is relatively heavy so you would need to have a very heavy and well braced base to hold it up. I rigged it on a two inch pole, but that was to set up a hanger so it could be suspended inside a gazebo, which is not a use for which it is designed. I figured out how to make it work, but it is a bit jury rigged.

There is a hole at the end of the pole for a hook & bag (not provided). But for a 43" reflector, I don't believe you need to worry about a sandbag or counterweight.
