WALIMEX Extendable Arm 100-183cm
Lighting to perfection
With a boom, you can bring the range of action for lighting, flashes, and other equipment into the third dimension. Mount the boom with its tilt mechanism to a 5/8-inch spike of a lamp tripod or any other spiked stand, extend it to the desired length, and rotate and tilt it as needed. Attach the desired equipment to the front of the 5/8-inch spike or 1/4-inch thread. The 5/8-inch spike is flattened on the side so you can rotate the rig along with the rod and mount it at any angle. With the help of the adjustable bracket on the tilt head and the included 1.5 kg bolt-on counterweight, you can balance the boom so that it creates no or only slight leverage on the bracket. Now you're ready for a new dimension of lighting!
Not just for light
Of course, you can also connect other equipment besides the light to the boom, such as flashes, softboxes, reflectors, umbrellas or microphones. Even the décor can be hung here if you wish. However, the boom is not suitable as a jib or crane for camera movements. Due to the highly variable length from 70 to 183 cm and the high load capacity of 5 kg when retracted and 2 kg when the boom is extended to the maximum, it is very versatile in use. Attachment latches hold the boom to the desired length reliably. You can adjust and fix the tilt at 180°. Without a tripod, the boom can also be used as a microphone boom.
