Q: 9. I bought this softbox, but I'm concerned about the light stands that I have. They are cheap and were part of a kit, and I had to position the legs just right to prevent this from tipping over indoors. Any recommendations on a light stand that will be durable enough to support this (using speedlights) but also that is portable? Or should I just weigh down the legs of the light stand?

A: While you did not list the brand/model of the light stand you currently own, and I am not sure of the maximum load capacity of your current light stand, I would recommend the Impact Heavy-Duty Air-Cushioned Light Stand (Black, 9.5'), B&H # IMLS96HABI, as an alternative light stand for your stated usage needs with the Godox Octa Softbox with Bowens Speed Ring (55") and a speedlight flash. The above softbox weighs approximately 5 lb (2.27 kg), and the Impact light stand has a maximum load capacity of 22 lb (9.97 kg). It is more than strong enough for your usage needs, though sand bags are always a good recommendation for extra security/ballast.
