Q: 1. Would a Matthews Infinity Arm plus this Matthews Hollywood Baby Jr. Triple Riser Stand make a decent tripod stand in for a lightweight mirrorless camera? https://a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1251333-REG/matthews_429627_infinity_arm_kit.html target= _blank www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1251333-REG/matthews_429627_infinity_arm_kit.html/a

A: I'm afraid that you have no very good idea of how big and tremendously heavy the Riser Stand is, so I'd have to say that you'd be insane to use it as a stand-in for a tripod to hold a lightweight camera. Yes, the Stand is on wheels, but better to use a really lightweight stand from any one of many tripod manufacturers, that you could pick and move with a few fingers on one of your hands.

Q: 2. Hi B&H, is there a hook on the end to hang a counterweight? HNY!

Q: 8. Can you provide the part information for the knob that fastens the boom to a light stand?

A: You can contact the matthews Parts Store at (p) 818-843-6715. I went through their parts catalog could find the part you are looking for.

Q: 9. can i remove the wheels??

A: Not without permanently damaging the stand. But there is no need to do so as the wheels all have VERY stable locking mechanisms. Once you lock the wheels, the stand won't move. In fact, locking the wheels also locks the rotation of the caster, so it doesn't even shift from the connection of the caster to the leg. If you don't want wheels, you should get a C-stand instead.
