Need good quality reflector holder
Hi: Can anyone recommend a high quality reflector holder, especially one for outdoor use? It's an arm that extends from a light stand out to hold a reflector or shade as though an assistant were holding it. Can be swiveled and angled. I bought this Westcott model ($49) linked here but it seems very flimsy and cheap. I may exchange for the slightly more expensive Westcott model ($73) but I can't tell the difference between the two. Both get good reviews but the clips sound like they may be a problem and not sure either of these perform well if there's any wind.
I'd like to find a solid high quality one even if it's more expensive, so I'm not fighting with broken clips in 6 months and I'd like to find one that won't fail in the wind.
Thank you!

The mic stand in the photos is not completely extended, but I think to the top where the boom is attached gets to at least 6 feet.
Anyway, I use this really infrequently, but I had the mic stand. The clips I think I bought at a yard sale for a buck. I have a way to weigh this down if necessary. I think that unless you have a stand that weighs more than 50 pounds, you are going to need your sandbag. I don't know if this would be something that would work for you, I guess it depends on how much you need it.

No, it's this one. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/62235-REG/Westcott_1100_Illuminator_Arm.html
I'll let you know how I like it and I'll post pix. Sounds like it should be fine inside, according to the user reviews.
