When I moved recently, I sold my Mola Euro. Took up half my apartment, and would've taken up half the moving truck. I replaced it with a Demi, figuring that would be easier to deal with. Well, the Demi is easier to *store and transport*, sure. But I failed to consider that, because it doesn't come with its own mount like the Euro, I would need a light fixture sturdy enough to support it.
My Godox AD400Pros are not those fixtures. The tilt lock sucks and they "droop" with any substantial amount of weight. Others have complained about this, and posted DIY fixes, but I'm a klutz and I know not to even try.
I was thinking about just biting the bullet and buying a B10x Plus (I'm already using the Profoto mount adapter on the Godox), but the Peta Pixel review mentions that as it's not unibody and has a detachable tilt lock, it's not really designed for serious weight "such as the 5' octabox or 4x6' softbox" (both of which I suspect are lighter than my Demi). Do I have to buy a B1x instead?
