Default Reflector Holder

Hey guys,
I'm currently having some problem with my reflector holder.

I'm using it on my tripod and trying to use it with a 110cm reflector



The connector from the holder to the tripod is right at the end of the holder, and thus, all the weight from the reflector is acting onto the holder, thus when i tilt the angle, the holder moves and cant hold the position, as the weight is too much.

Is there any holder that has the connector at the middle instead of at the end of the holder? or are there stronger holders that can handle the weight of a 110cm reflector?

Please include link (if any) to the holder or the location that i can view and get it.
Price would be good too.

Thanks in advance!

You can try Ruby. They have the reflector holder that may meet your requirement.

no, that is how the way they design it, even it is a Manfrotto.

You can use a light stand, instead of let the connector at the bottom of the reflector, extend the light stand taller,and let the connector at the top of reflector. it will be more stable.

I got the manfrotto version. Its strong and sturdy. You need a medium lightstand to go with it.

Cant remb price. Check out CP, the one selling accessories. It also doubles up as a boom arm. It attaches to the main stand in the centre and is made of solid steel.

Sorry, dont have a pic to show u. found this on the web.

Let me know which one and may provide those stocks I kept.
