They have been purchased (initially they were simply going out of business), and should be able to handle your request for parts in a timely manner. Just go to their website and find contact info. I have several of those stands also, so I can certainly understand your desire to put that good stand back to work!

[32 x 9 x 5"] I use this in my studio. I have 11' ceilings, and that height works fine. I shoot full body with this one light and just love the results. Put a 8' white foam core on the fill side close to subject, and you get a bright, lush fill; or enjoy the shadows-- it gives great contrast and soft wrap on the shadows. I use mine with an AB1600 (Alie Bees); at about 5' from the subject at lowest setting it's f/4, at highest at 8 ft from model it's f/14; would be lower with an AB800, of course. So whether you want a bright, evenly lit subject, or just want to use it for fill or darker lighting, this is just super. I've shot on white seamless and fashion gray, and love the results I get with just this one light. fyi, my husband set it up, so I can't comment on setup or take down; I plan to leave it set up in the studio. I did move it through a doorway and the shallow depth was perfect and an easy transport. I'm only 5'2, and I expected the 5'diameter of this to be a challenge for me, but it's not at all. 5

[500 W] Purchased this softbox to use with my Einstein strobe...works great. It was very tough to put together the first time, but I left it set up for a few days to allow it to stretch out a bit. It is very easy to assemble now. My only complaint is getting it to fit back into the bag...obviously if you have a permanent studio opposed to a portable one, this will not be an issue. 5

[5.05 lb] the 5' diameter really covers a person or a group of people, wraps around the person easily because of its circular shape, also the reflection in the eyes are natural. the softness of this 5' really beats the 3'. easy to assemble and fit, 5' doesnt mean 5' depth. Nice to have and will fit in anywhere almost.. 5

[5.05 lb] I love this softbox. It's very easy to set up and break down, and the light is beautiful out of it. The fabric isn't as durable as a Chimera softbox, but it's not exceptionally flimsy either. I'm pleased so far with my purchase. 5

[Yes] This is very nice to use in smaller spaces. It gives you a nice almost round highlight in the eyes! I use a lot of Photoflex products, and this octodome is built very well, as most of there product are. The only product I have not liked so far from Photoflex is the snoot! 5

[500 W] You can tell by the material it is not top quality, but for the price, and it includes a speed ring, its a great buy. It diffuses the light very nicely, and is the perfect size to shoot full body. 5
