BTW - not positive, but rather than that 'set' of 2x4's for the adjustable angles for the 'holding arm' why not change it to your ball head?!?! Granted, slightly more expensive... BUT prettier, probably stronger, and definitely smaller & lighter.
Also, how much weight can the legs stand?? if you center reverse hooked from the bottom of the upright - to attach bag for rocks or water to counter balance??

They are a heck of a lot stronger than your average run if the mill metal light stands. I use homemade sand bags for holding down everything.
Homemade sand bag directions: cut off pant legs (preferably jeans), tape at one end (I use electrical tape), line with trash bag, fill with cheap play sand, tape trash bag, and then tape other end of pant leg.
