Can any structural damage happen to the einstein by leaving it mounted on a stand with the PB giant softbox attached? Also, the einstein with the giant softbox is mounted on a LS3900 Light Stand. Leg tip to leg tip is opened to about 46 inches. I have the softbox centered over one leg. I'm a little concerned about this tipping over when the stand is fully extended in height. Is this an issue? |

The possibility of a stand tipping over depends on lots of factors inside?, outside?, breeze, someone tripping on a cord. Bottom line... when in doubt weight the stand down. :D |

no structural damage should occur from leaving it set up. In a vacuum, there is no issue with raising the stand fully. However, we do not live in a vacuum. As suggested, use common sense and sandbag as needed. |
