question
Im thinking about buying it to use with a Selens 75' (12.05 pounds). Does this arm will hold it?
The maximum load capacity of the Manfrotto 085BS Heavy-Duty Boom and Stand at full extension is 13.2 lbs (6kg) with the included 15 lbs (7kg) counterweight. If you use a larger counterweight or use the boom arm at a shorter distance (not at full extension), it can support more weight. As you state your setup weighs 12.05 lbs, it should be compatible for use with the Manfrotto 085BS Heavy-Duty Boom and Stand at full extension.

question
This boom arm was suggested by B&H. I need a versatile system that will hold Buff Einstein and medium soft box with no problem?
This is exactly what I use mine for. No worries what so ever!
