I have a couple of Bogen magic arms supporting little Lowel Pro lights. I'd like something a bit more flexible, and the Bogen heavy duty flex arms seem to fit the bill. However, I'm not sure whether they will support the lights I'm using. Bogen rates both the normal and heavy duty flex arms at 1.1lbs., which doesn't really make much sense. The lights are about 1.3lbs. with the captive power cable that hangs down to the floor. I'd be happy to buy more magic arms (price is not an issue), but I am working in VERY close quarters, and a jointed arm doesn't provide the necessary amount of flexibility for positioning the lights.
Is there anyone who's tried the heavy duty flex arms and can provide an example of something that works okay and doesn't cause them to droop? Also, if there's another similar product that might work, I'd certainly appreciate any suggestions. It pretty much has to be this type of flexible arm, because anything with joints won't be any better than what I'm using right now.
