What's a good solution to mount the 600R to a light stand while on location?

Thanks in advance.

Those lights are quite heavy. Choose a stand which can handle the weight(check specs) and make certain to use sandbags, too. I like Manfrotto and Matthews stands.
EDIT: Just realized you were looking for a bracket, not a stand. Why not just mount the pack on the stud?

The generator?

Lumedyne has an "POWER PACK HANGER & CLAMP (external link)". Something like that might work.

You could also just use a Manfrotto Magic Arm with super clamp (external link) I suppose. Or a bungee cord ;)

Yeah I am looking into sandbags too... Although with this pack, it will definitely help act as one. I think I've found a solution...

That bracket is what I just bought earlier this morning. I forgot to update this thread sooner. I want to mount the pack to the light stand when I am shooting.

Here is what I bought. (Thank you for the help Spencer 'sboerup'!)

Ah yeah, that'll work I suppose :)
You don't need that spigot that's an insert in the left image: The hook will attach to the superclamp on it's own. (But I guess you know that)

Yep I do.... The stud will allow me to connect a light to it though if I am ever in a situation where I need a light in a funky spot. I've read where this clamp has been attached to other various things to get a light in a certain spot. And, an extra stud never hurts ;)
