Light stand for huge softbox?

[JohnJackson]

I've just bought a 120cm octagonal softbox from ebay.

I don't know if my current light stands will be able to support it

The light stands I have are the ones that came with my Elinchrom D lite 4 set.

Can anyone recommend a sturdy and relatively cheap light stand that would be able to support the 120 cm softbox?

This is the softbox -

It's not very heavy. Those should be regular stands you've got. Be fine - just take care to put the weight directly over one of the legs.

Let us know how you get on with it, as I was just thinking of buying one.

I have one and there is no problem they are not that heavy

sandbag a leg if you're worried about it tipping. stands can hold a surprising amount of weight.
