I'd be very, very leery of any collapsible stand that will fit in a ThinkTank tripod pocket to hold up a $2,000 Profoto light. I would think that any stand with that light weight and that small of a footprint would have to be sandbagged to death, which kinda defeats the purpose, especially when the B1 is fitted with an octa.
Do you have to work alone? If not, I'd consider a paint pole or monopod that you could carry along with the octa, and someone else could hold it up. That gives you infinite portability and freedom to place the light precisely where you want it. With the B1's TTL, I think that's the biggest thing going for it, rapidly and precisely placing the light with accurate flash exposure. Otherwise, I'd be hesitant to trust anything lighter than a C stand. But I don't have the B1 (yet), so take my advice with a grain of salt, or maybe two.
