I'm currently using a C-stand for my D600 boom in studio. I'm looking for a wheeled stand to use with the D600. I will be mainly using this for a 5' Octabox or beauty dish. This is what I found that might work:
The MSE is the better stand. Jr vs baby, triple vs double riser, better leg spread (more stability, less sandbagging needed), better lowest height, etc. The cool thing about the Jr receiver size is that most C-stand risers fit right into it. I put a P&S 35 feet high one time with an Avenger A320 and a 40'' c-stand riser + grip arm one time. :-) And yes, I had about 120lbs of sandbags on it.

Do you mean if if I have a bunch of C-stands, they will fit onto the wheeled base? If so, do they just sell the wheeled base?
I'm not sure how removable that MSE's base is, but you can definitely plug in the riser from a MSE or Avenger turtle-base c-stand right into the top Jr receiver if you ever wanted to go real high.
Good choice. The MSE has all-steel construction, and a nice wheel set. I have the D650 (big brother of D600) and matching MSE stand with junior receiver. While very heavy, the rig is easily moved, and the wheels lock securely.
