One reviewer says the extension pole is weak. I'd want to mount an Elinchrom head and 57" softbox. Doable?

That size of a softbox is probably too heavy for most extension poles. It certainly would be for this one. I use mine to support an Alien Bee with a 24X24" softbox and it works great though.

it bows with just an alien bee head on it, with no modifier.it's not usable at full extension.

I would NOT recommend it. It worked well to hold a 32" reflector with several adjustments for a product shoot. But, I returned the item. I didn't like the design on this. The clamps were hard to press open and the knobs were in the way in order to depress the clamps that hold the reflector. Also the knob that tightens on top of the stand should be on the other side in order for it to fold down. To suspend a softbox? I would use a C-Stand with the appropriate boom, and maybe a sand bag.

It should be fine, if not just mount a small piece of plywood on the wall and then mount the wall mount to that, use lag bolts if you have to go that route. Thats what I did and my 55 inch is holding just fine

I had to have my neighbor help me. I put the rods in opposite each other and the last one she pushed the softbox in while I bent the rod and secured it. It took a few tries.

I think that would be a very tight fit. However there is a 2 inch foot piece on it at the bottom and about a 1 inch foot at the top. Those come off but are really necessary to provide a rubber no slip end on the pole. I also don't know if you can push the extension all the way in, the farther it goes in the tighter and more resistance the spring offers. It may not be possible to push it down that far. I don't think this will fit your space without modification, which is probably not recommended.

you really need ask Works Connection, they are fast to answer questions, but i don't see why it would not work except mounting it could pose a problem

I have this mount directly to drywall with very good anchors from home depot. DO NOT use the simple compression anchors. Get the WingIts World's Strongest Fastener. You wont regret it. I have a 32 inch tv and a cable box. Sorry, dont not use the second shelf.

I would love to help you, but I was not able to extend mine fully. It is not very sturdy and if you attempt to fully extend it the weight of the light mount alone will BEND the bar.I used it once and had to modify it for other things as it did not really meet my expectations. If you are using it for babies, and newborn shots, small subjects and other closer work, perhaps... but not for adults and other full sized subjects.

Hello Paul. The answer is absolutely. I found this mount to be excellent and of very high quality. Ian B.

There are no ways to mount the IQ506 that are "officially supported'. However, I have seen some articles online that involve drilling the back. I really *REALLY* (are you listening HP??) really wish there was a mounting kit for this.

The pole height is at eighteen inches. The mounting plate can be attach anywhere on the pole. If you needed to make it shorten this could be accomplished wit a simple hacksaw, and a little filing to smooth out any rough edges. It is a simple and very effective mount.

Hi R. Jankowski,You should be able to untwist the extension joint in the middle a couple turns which will allow the GoScope to extend. If in the past you were able to extend the pole and now you can not please send a detailed explanation to support@go-scope.com.Thanks,Team GoScope

I'm sorry but I can't confirm that, but the mounting hardware that comes with device is pretty easy to install. The electric box in ceiling should allow for any standard mounting bracket

No problem. The mounting hardward doesn't show. I would recommend however that you purchase also from a local store a strip of cord cover for the picture down to the outlet. Makes it look a whole lot neater.Regards,

Not with the short short too much, possibly the tall pole. But they also sell with this with a wall mount option that could fit what you are looking for.

Certainly. I do that all the time. I actually use a paint extension pole - and (using the included bracket) you could mount this right on to the paint pole. However, there are pole adapters with 5/8 inch female threads that you can find (I.E. Kacey Pole Adapter) to screw right onto the pole's male threads. This will protect the pole threads but will also allow more secure mounting of this soft box. I would also recommend you get the eggcrate to use on the front as an option to better control the light spread on those occasions when you want to do that.

Don't remember, most likely you can as pole is empty inside, but doubt VGA or power cable can make trough it, only HDMI. Its awesome steady stand just zip tie cables to the pole in worst case.
