DIY fail...

I just wanted to share my attempt at making my own mount for my xr30. I'm sure it's a quick fix and a hell of a lot cheaper than the $150 Ecotech wants for a mount. This was a TV mount from amazon for $20 that the light was just a little to heavy for.

I’d vote for an extra layer of redundancy too. You have a string attached to a couple dollar wall anchor and that’s all the stands between your several hundred dollar light and water.

Its coated 60lb picture frame wire. But your right. I was thinking of adding a second anchor
 
@Srt4eric , one more thing you could try, is removing the washers in the elbow joint. Those are to smoothen the swivel motion is used for a TV, but they are the main culprit for the failure mode you saw for hanging the light.

I suggest removing the washers, and tightening that screw in that elbow joint.
