What is the maximum load (in Lbs / Kgs ) for this stand? Can t carry studio strobes and large umbrellas easily at the top?

I do not know the max load but the stand is built very well. Unless you are talking about say 40 lbs at max extension I think it should hold what you need. When you get the stands make sure that everything work correctly. The leg clamp did not work on one of the stand but the replacement worked great.

I use mine to hold up a 15 lb projector screen, I don't have any issues and it's quite stable as well. I'd fancy a guess at a max load of ~20 lbs.

I'm not sure what the maximum load is, but it holds a large umbrella attached to my alien bee b400.

I wouldn't use it with anything heavier than a speedlight and modest softbox (I have my assistant use ours with an SB-910 and a westcott rapid box)

I don't know the exact load capacity but I have Definitive Technology Center sitting on it...I think it (my C Channeel) weighs somewhere around 30lbs. This stand is beefy and I would buy/recommend it again.

I have used it only to support a Canon speedlite with a Rogue grid. But I imagine it could support practically anything with proper use of the included sandbag. You want to sandbag your light stand, too.

I would say no. Not sure how much it weighs but not that much to hold such a tall umbrella.

This is made for strobes like the canon 550, 580, 600 etc. Any strop that would fit on top of your camera. You do not need a heavy light stand as the unit is very light weight. This is not for a studio strobe where you would need external power. Extra battery pack is a good thing though. The unit itself has all the tilts you should need. I use this on a medium to light light stand and have never had a problem.

Five pounds would be a lot of weight for this stand. The boom will hold it, but if it's not balanced right you might have a problem. On the other hand. if you extended the boom directly over one of the tripod feet, it most likely wouldn't tip over. My recommendation is that if you have a five pound microphone, you should get a heavier stand than this one.

I think the maximum weight the stand will carry is 200 lb. I have a 60" plasma TV ( 66 lb) on the top shelf and there is no indication that that is too much weight. Note that I rate the product 5 stars. It is high quality and very attractive as well as amazingly sturdy and easy to assemble because of its unique design.

If you are referring to, http://www.fjwestcott.com/24-x-32-softbox-for-westcott-d5 , then I would have to say yes, since the lighting kits looks to be fairly light weight. These stands are very heavy duty and can handle a lot of weight. But they are targeted at holding the truss and not a light kit, so I'm not sure they would be appropriate for this use. In fact, possibly overkill. The tripods are quite heavy to lift. With three truss sections (30'), I hung over 150lbs if lights across the trusses supported by the two tripods.

Any standard photography stand with a weight on it to counter the weight of the boom

I don't suspect this is that heavy.... any light stand will work. You might want a small sandbag for stability. The metal inside is the umbrella spars. This modifier opens like an umbrella for quick set up.

While I don't believe it would readily hold the weight of a person, I have a photo copy stand and lights on mine and it works just dandy.

Should be OK if filled with sand ballast. With speakers on top they could be top heavy but the stand is solid and well balanced.

You will probably need to purchase a mount that can hold a heavier load, especially if you're going to do any type of photography. I believe the capacity of this mount is 35lbs.

The construction is fairly sturdy but the base plate is not all that large (8" x 8"). We have a pair of KRK VXT4 monitors on our stands. They are 15 lbs each, and I would not want anyone to bump one as they are top heavy. The design could support up to 30 lbs but they would need to be well out of the way of traffic.

Look for a heavy duty light stand. Buy one with a wide footprint. I think mine are cowboy studio. Many companies sell identical stands. For safety use a sandbag on the legs.

In my opinion, this base would be too small and light to effectively support an umbrella. You'd be happier with something bigger and heavier.
