Will this support an Alien Bee Strobe with a 22 inch beauty dish safely?

It easily holds alien bee strobes with beauty dishes and softboxes. I really like this stand. It folds up easily and you can take it with you, note that it bigger and heavier but still portable.

Yes..this is the identical setup I am using it for. "Heavy Duty" definitely fits the description of this boom stand. The casters are solid and helpful as well.

This stand is a BEAST. I just got it today, but I bet you don't even need the counter weights with an Alien been on this bad boy. I can't believe how heavy it is and the price is great!

Maybe if you had the right Bracket. However it is a big soft box for a speed light. I use mine with an alien bees Studio Strobe.

Hi Rodney, it's comes with the ring mount to fit Paul C. Buff lighting. I have mine attached to a White Lighting X 1600, and I love it. I'm very glad I purchased this instead of the 22in by Paul C. Buff. I also have a 21in beauty dish, and I see a very big difference between the 21in and the 28in. I would definitely recommend you purchasing this item.

If you have the one with the Bowens mounting system the 30" Neewer Beehive should work. The speedlight mount is found here: http://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Bracket-Speedlite-Reflector-Umbrella/dp/B00JAAXH1A/ref=pd_bxgy_p_img_y Looks a bit ungainly at first but it works great. Link for the 30" Beehive is HERE: http://www.amazon.com/80cmX80cm-Speedlite-Speedring-Panasonic-Neewer/dp/B00KQDTU8O/ref=sr_1_14?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1421211161&sr=1-14 I'm considering it myself. Just do a search on softboxes on the Amazon site and specify the Neewer brand. Several styles are listed.

I've had an alien bees 800 with a beauty dish on it (thats about 6.5 lbs) with no problem.

Pretty much any kind of light stand or boom stand will do since it's not heavy at all. But stay away from buying the cheapo 2 for 20 light stands here on amazon. They are junk. The LEDs bring an attachment that you can adapt to c stands or boom poles, or you can thread it straight to the fixture

Yes it will. I have one in my RV with a 24 inch LED and it works fine. With RV's you have allot of shaking and you need to tighten it up once in a while. But works great.

Hi Brad, I'm not really sure if a designated beauty dish has been designed for this one but I do have a beauty dish outfitted for this strobe. I purchased the beauty dish last year from Calumet to work with my speed light and changed it just a little bit and it works well just proped up against the strobe. Not a perfect fit but it works for me. I used an L bracket to secure both the dish and strobe together.

Absolutely. Uses the same speedring attachment as other alien bee lighting. This softbox is decently made, but be aware that there are two velcro straps that allow you to slide out two of the support legs when assembling and taking apart. I like the product

This is for Alien Bees, but if the mounting is the same as a B400/800 etc, which it appears to be, then yes.Perhaps email Paul C Buff for a definitive answer. info@paulcbuff.com

U ordered the 24-36" version and the actual light is only 22" long. It has arms that pull out to support it for larger applications. I don't know for sure but It might fit . It might end up resting directly on the top....

I am sure it will work okay. You will have to rig up something to secure it. Shouldn't be to difficult to do from what I see looking at mine.

I purchased a Ravelli ALS, which is a pretty study stand and it will work with this boom.Ravelli ALS Full 10' Air Cushioned Light Stand With Included Adaptor To Also Support 1/4" and 3/8" Photo Equipment and Heavy Duty Carry Bag

I use it with my alien bees 1600. It seems pretty versatile because the opening is a sock like materiel that can stretch quite a bit.

It will work with any speedlight. The ones named in the title are just a way to get more attention on the item by showing up in searches for those models. Also worth noting, if you remove the speedlight bracket it will mount directly on any Alien Bees or Einstein monolights. No adapter of any sort is needed. Just be aware that this is the small end of beauty dishes, producing a bit harsher contrast than most people associate with beauty dishes. But it's also much easier to pack with you and works great as long as you can get it in close. A boom (or grip head, doubled-up superclamps, and a piece of electrical conduit) is basically a must unless you have a human boom / voice activated lightstand. Have fun!

Yes if there is a screen in the side light. If the side light is glass then no as this is made for a screen. You need about 10" so you should be ok.

Yours is for a Flash Monolight... it's not made for an specific brand like Bowens or Alien Bee's... I think you misread the info before buying it.Always make sure it's for an specific brand.
