Designed due to the growing demand for a boom that does not bend when a series of accessories are added to it, such as small lighting fixtures or flash units, such as softboxes, honeycombs, etc. Entirely made of steel, the Mini Boom mounts on a 5/8" Baby Pin stud and extends over 80" (203 cm), ending with a 5/8" stud. A hook is provided at the rear end of the boom to accommodate a sandbag for balancing. Using a Baby Drop Down #427804 will keep the lighting fixture level.
