but people talking about booming a C-stand make me cringe—it's no laughing matter.
Do it all the time, no issue whatsoever. I'm not the only one. I take pride in my in my grip work and it's never unsafe.

Let's put it this way, anyone who works in this industry as a professional knows what c-stands can do..
The notion that a baby roller will be better than a c-stand to hold a camera and be more secure is incorrect on so many levels.
I have all types of stands, and up 10kg the baby/junior roller will not necessarily be more secure if it's the c-stand setup properly. How many lights and modifiers do you have that exceed 10kg ? Also the arm itself will flex way before the stand does. which is the weak link no matter the stand it's attached to.
Now I respect anyone who cares about security on set but disregarding c-stands just because the description states it made for modifiers is like saying a fast lens is only made for lowlight photography.
I work both in the studio and on location, anyone who works on location knows that you need to be creative to protect your gear, your self, and others. C-stand is an invaluable asset on location and in the studio as long as you work within the weight limit just as you do with any other stand/tripod.
