I got this as part of a larger kit a while back and it's use has exceeded the original needs. Now I use it mostly on location, handheld by an assistant, and with modified flashguns. Because it's light (being made of rigid aluminum tubing) it's not terribly difficult to hold out while in full extension in order to get more challenging shots. And the lock stops on both the head and the extension part have never slipped even when under heavy load. A perfect complement to this would be the Lastolite LL LS2499 Waist Holder. It makes holding this boom over long jobs easier and more stable. While aluminum will bend a bit, if you're mounting a huge softbox to a monolight it might make more sense to get the chrome boom from Westcott since it's very rigid (I use this in studio) and can easily manage the heaviest loads. I know that I will get another one of these booms eventually, and I have no hesitation recommending it...
