Notes on the zoom focus system:
Pay attention to a stable setup and use a sturdy light stand, preferably one with wheels, if you want to move the light source. The construction is less stable than a setup where the light source is on the light stand and the light modifier sits directly on the light source, as here the light source is suspended freely.
Only use the light source in the zoom focus system when you actually need it, as otherwise the weight could cause the flash head mount to deform over time.
This setup is best suited for large rooms, as otherwise disturbing reflections can occur on the walls.
