Is there any problem mounting an AB800 on a LumoPro 605 stand if I weigh it down well enough?
EDIT: I mean LP604 stands - sorry.

Even with weights, the stand isn't strong enough. If you pull out the stand, the higher you go, the more it bends. It's just not worth the risk. These LP stands are knock offs of the Manfrotto Nano. They're great, especially for the price, but they're made for speedlights with light modifiers only.
