Yes
I want to use my Godox 600 on a stand.

I would like something simple ,reasonably priced but solid and functional.

Any help and links .appreciated.

I have looked on Amazon and admit im a little unsure on what to get.
 
It depends a lot on a) the modifier you plan to attach and b) indoors/outdoors and c) flat or uneven surfaces. The more force being applied the sturdier the stand. How do you plan to use it?

I use them with a Godox TT650 and reflective and shoot through umbrellas without any problem and recently with a Lencarta studio flash ( https://www.lencarta.com/lencarta-smartflash-4-studio-flash-head-300w) and it has not fallen over yet.
You will need a mount to attach your flash to the stand ( https://www.lencarta.com/lencarta-flashgun-light-stand-adapter)
If you are not sure give them a ring, they are very helpful.
Cheers
 
^ looks like a good option in this case. The AD600 will attach directly.

I see you have somthing now but just on case your needs change maybe look out for a C100 Chinese knock off add a Knuckle head and a cheap boom and you will have a lot more choice on where to place the flash head. It sounds a bit elaborate but actually is quite straight forward.

C stands are just about an industry standard and the "real" ones come from Mathews or Manfrotto/Avenger. There are any number of variatons on the them however! With the boom arm you can move the light over the subject rather than just to the side. You will need gravel/water bottles or similar as a counter weight, but not much with a small flash head.
