The bodies of these Alien Bee strobes are made of plastic, and due to the design of these units, the umbrella rod passes through a mount on top of the strobe.
The weight is a bit excessive, meaning with all the plastic parts involved there's a chance of breakage. All the strain is on the light itself.
The light stands are pretty light-duty but they're not bad for what I use them for.
I don't think the lights are really designed to accommodate such a heavy umbrella hanging off it.
