Heavy duty light stand recommendation for this softbox with monolight?
1652152
Definitely! This is a good strong and heavy softbox. I wouldn't use anything but a heavy duty lightstand with any monolight I own.

Yes it will instantly fall over with a cheaper stand it is heavy and big making it awkward.

I have seen similar flash units with the GODOX brand on them that come with a softbox attachment.. while these flashes are good for the money the mountings to the stand are not that tough so they need to be mounted with care and not overloaded.. the 250w head seem a lot more substantial and can also be found with softboxes if you search

For a speedlight alone probably yes. Put an umbrella or anything heavier on it and the answer is probably no. It is a decent lightweight stand but it doesn't inspire gobs of confidence.I just saw the answer below and have to disagree. This is an amateur grade stand that is OK but I wouldn't put a 50" softbox on it without upping my insurance.

I bought these stands from Amazon "LIGHT STANDS PRO HEAVY DUTY 7'6" SET OF TWO, WITH ALL METAL LOCKING COLLARS NOT PLASTIC by PBL" They are very good, heavy duty stands that will last and hold the light very well. The lights I ordered came with an adapter that fit on the stand and it is able to rotate around right/left and up/down. Also the lights have two mounting screws (one for horizontal and one for vertical) mounting. Just don't buy cheap, lightweight stands. The extensions will not lock properly and the will tip over. The heavy-duty stands are only about $32 each and will last for a long time. Mine also came with a heavy duty carrying case. I had them for over a year and still work like new.

Ive used the Manfrotto 026 Swivel Lite-Tite Umbrella Adapter with a yongnuo speedlite & something similar to this CowboyStudio 43" Black and White Reflective Photography Studio Brolly Box. I dont dare put any more weight on it. I think itd honestly break.

I had a standard stand that supported my mono light. I think any one would work.

Yes it will,. Its a little heavy when you add the softbox. Just make sure you have a good stand

I think for the price it is a pretty sturdy stand. Not like a Pro C-Stand, but better than a super cheap light stand. I have only used it for speed lights so far - no big softboxes yet.If you are using one or two sandbags you should be fine tough.

it is kind of strong. I bought a "Collapsible Softbox Light Modifier for On - Camera", it fits right on the bulb and softens the light.

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

I would recommend 2 of these. They give a very soft light and I use 2 set up above and behind the camera for my YouTube videos just remember that this is just a soft box so you need to buy lights and stands also. For video I would recommend a cfl based video light because they are cheap and neewer makes light stands for around $15 each and they will do everything you need for simple YouTube videos.

I wouldn't put a soft box on it myself, but if I did it would have to be a small one.. you get what you pay for. Not alot of power in this but its perfect for ONLY a fill light. I would not put a softbox on or even attempt to use for a main light. has slow charging time also

I bought the stand to attach an LED light: 500 LED light Panel Led Video lighting Led Lite Panel by FancierstudioPortable, light weight, yet solid enough to hold above said light. Works great! I'm sure it will hold any speed light.

My 2 stands are used for marketing LED lightboards only. I'm not familiar with your needs.

I use these stands with Paul Buff White Lightning 800 and 1600, which are heavier. They are fine until extending too high or carrying an extra large soft box overhead. They will support a light head or reflector on a boom but again, it depends on what you sling out there with it and how high. I always weight the stand with a sand bag.

I have a 120WS mono with a 36" softbox on it - at full extension, there's a fair amount of flex, but it's been holding for a few months.

I ordered this stand on Amazon ( ePhoto ULS69 Continuous Lighting Kit with 3 Muslins ) and threw away the muslins - they get soooo wrinkled - it works great for this size roll of paper.good luck.
