Is it safe to leave it all attached when it's not in use, or should I be dismounting it from the light and storing it that way? Flickr

Will probably get one or two when I finally purchase my strobes. Curious how they would be for on location work, since that is where I would be using them most often. -Mark

I tested it with and without by tethering shots to my Ipad in the room behind the setup. The sock definately helped especially since I was using practicaly full power and shooting at fstops of f13-f18 depending on how I wanted the ambient to balance.

Cowboy studios cheapo HD Boom stand. Its great for location as its much lighter to lug around than my manfrotto studio setup. Plus if I break it I wont shed a tear, nor will my wallett. It holds a B800 and an HOBD or a 60" Softlighter no problem. My name is Andrew and I like Canon's!!!

Awesome setup, this is what we use in my studio. But we use lighter setups for location work. Especially if you have a large area to cover in a short period of time.

Yeah there are a few others as well. Not sure which thread I was reading, (possibly the grip thread or an actual thread on booms) but they went through a few different booms and this was one of them that was mentioned. I would ask some of the more seasoned pros on here what they use and how they feel their particular booms work for them. -Mark
