Has anyone used this boom with a parabolic reflector with off-axis weight offset, such as a Para 88/133?
Thanks Reuben, so suppose I use my Manfrotto 087 wind up stand weighted with appropriate boom counter weight - I should be able to use this boom for that kind of setup? FWIW, the Manfrotto 025 Super Boom is not near sturdy enough for the job. Many thanks in advance.

What stand would be recommended to hold the 425B ...
What stand would be recommended to hold the 425B mega boom?
We generally use the Avenger cranks stand
Avenger Wind-Up 39 Stand with Braked Wheels
It is important to note that the base of the avenger crank a little on the narrow side , so if you are doing big extensions it is very important to counterweight properly.
we Also use med roller stands or Combo stands, anything with a junior mount that can handle the weight
hope that helps

question
What stud should I use for this boom?
The Avenger E200 Stand Adapter B&H # AVE200 would fit on the end of the boom in the junior receiver and will terminate into a baby pin for mounting most lights.

question
Has anyone ever tried this as a mic boom for long take live production?
Haven't tried it but it would work. You would probably need a grip head to hold the mike holder. The cranks for tilt and rotation would be useful. The crank to extend the arm is in an awkward place though.
