Post subject:  Large modifier too heavy for my X1600s

So I purchased a pair of White Lightning X1600s along with an Einstein 640 and absolutely love these lights. However, I'm having an issue with the X1600s creeping forward when I attach the 30x60 softboxes purchased from Paul C Buff. Has anyone had the same issue with this configuation and if so what would you suggest I do to stop the creep? I've tightened the mounting block as tight as I'm able to, but it hasn't helped. I was thinking of rigging some kind of counter weight to balance the system. I have these mounted on heavy duty light stands that I also purchased from Paul C. Buff.


"Updated 3/11/14"

I've taken out the rubber washer between the mounting block and the metal flange that's connected to the strobe and that seems to do the trick, only time will tell though. I have yet to call customer service (I've been busy during business hours) and I'm still curious to hear what their solution is. I will update if they have a better solution.

Note: There was no disassembly to the actual strobe, just the mounting block. :D
