As mentioned by other reviewers, of course, not too heavy or large trailer from flash and softbox should be used, as well as me the light metal construction for heavy wind seems a little unstable. On the other hand, this gives an extremely light tool that I (and the wizard) through low weight but saves a lot of smuggling. The length is also personally absolutely enough for me.
Also know to convince the individual components for the price:
- The quick fasteners are easy to open / close and lock the safe position without any wobbling
- The foam grips are pleasant to touch and ensure a firm grip
I can make this extension arm so without hesitation recommend all individuals who want to blatantly improve handling smaller softboxes and will continue to report, he should show performance degradation.

Note on 05/16/2014:
The extension arm still works fine and the hinges hold as the first day. The foam grip can be now a bit easier to push up and down on metal - and vary in the holding position so individually.
Meanwhile, I have also a alterative to "normal" softbox used: instead of screen I put the Round Flash Ring Flash Diffuser A, which is actually meant to the camera for use. This one can also reasonably well secured with bungee cords to the telescopic rod. Have this on its product page an image uploaded.
For extremely mobile applications may be worth considering.
