Suspend a heavy light
So I need to get a softbox overhead my talent in a big warehouse. Theres a balcony nearby (A c-stand could be placed about 10 feet away from where I ultimately want the light to be. I’m going today and will be taking a look at the rafters to see if there’s anything I can use to suspend the light.
There’s a rental house by me that has a good rate on the Titan x2 which I simply would really like to have for other shots. But this light is really heavy
How could this be mounted? A heavy light overhead. I would love to have some kind of stand with sandbags and some kind of arm I can swing back over the balcony to change settings but I don’t have much experience with heavy lights like this.
ANY input is appreciated

Can you make it work in a fixed position with speedrail, c-clamps, and a couple of folding ladders on either side? Or does it have to act like it’s on a boom? A c-stand by itself might not be enough, once you add the counterweight.
It’s a warehouse, right? Do they have a spare forklift you can rig the light to?
