The mounting hardware for this Profoto Giant is made by Manfrotto. It might be compatible with both baby and junior stands, although there is no retaining screw evident in the eBay listing (needed for use on stand with a baby pin). The eBay listing does appear to be modelling the Giant on a junior stand, plus this modifier and attached head will be very heavy. Therefore you should get a strong stand with large footprint (runway and C-stand not good enough). My suggestion is the Matthews Double-Riser Steel Junior Roller. This goes to 9' and supports either baby or junior payloads.
Congrats on a good deal, and I hope you have high ceilings!...Show more →
Thanks. We already have Matthews Low-Boy double riser junior stand, which we currently use with our 6x4 softbox, or with Avenger D600 mini boom. It is a wonderful stand but unfortunately its max height is only 6.3'. So it may work in situations where Profoto Giant can stay low (i.e., the lowest part would be ~2' above the ground), but it wouldn't work when we want to raise the Giant higher.
As for high ceiling, no, we don't have it in our garage studio. (only in our living room ) but the two studios that we usually rent for client photo shoots both have high ceilings. Plus I envision using the giant for special shoots on location when possible.
