Comments about Manfrotto 425B Mega Boom - 12' (3.6m):
The Manfrotto 425B Mega Boom is not a light piece of kit. Combine it with a decent stand and that's quite a bit of weight to drag around the studio! But the flexibility is absolutely worth it!!
I use it to hold high lights (such as hair lights and beauty dishes). It can hold an Octo no problems (I've not tried at full extension though), and it is fantastic for mounting a camera and shooting high perspectives and from above.
It's not completely perfect though - there's a little bit of travel in the various gearings, so it can take some tweaking to get it into just the right spot. At full extension it is also quite bouncy, but I suspect that's unavoidable given the length.
Overall, highly recommended!
