When boom stand, I'm not so sure it affects me at the first building something un- stable, but purely physically is not preventable. I'll try it next time, but I think this is her first word.
Oh, and what is perhaps even more important ... The plastic parts are really very stabiel and not burst at the slightest load (tightening the screws) on.
A deduction of points I had to give because the included sync cable does not fit into any camera; With my Nikon D600 it does not fit, for example, but heck, I have the remote trigger.
