Just wondering if anyone has an idea of how to build a stand for a 16X16" Black Body flash unit, or where to buy one. I am looking at buying a drill press stand at Harbor Freight, then adding a base with casters on it. Not sure how I am going to make the arm that holds the flash unit though. Any suggestions on where to buy a stand or how to build one are greatly appreciated.

Hi Shannon

Not sure why the link for "stands" on their site is disabled:
Flash Dryer Accessories

But FYI, their stand for the BF-1 and BF-2 is $209
(your 16x16 is a BF-1)
They charge an extra $31 for casters.

They use a unique leveling system that's designed to keep the flash-head level with the pallet, but I'm sure that a creative DIY'er could fab something similar.

I'm just not certain that it would cost less after time and materials for custom rigging.

Happy trails.
