I'm using the Elinchrom Digital Style 1200RX + Elinchrom 69" ROTALUX OCTA SOFTBOX. I'm looking for a sturdy light stand to handle this combo. Any recommendation? i search Bh and there are bunch of it and not sure which to buy.

Thanks.

how high do you want the stand to go? whats the maximum base spread you are willing to work with? Will you be transporting your stand to different locations, does it need to be light?

Answering those question should help you sort through the different options available from manfrotto.

Hope that helps

Depending on application I would go with a C-stand with some weights on it or a high roller with a red wing boom arm.
