- #414 in Photographic Lighting Booms & Stands
A boom stand is a great addition to any studio set up. The boom allows you to place a light directly over your subject matter for great separation and light control. An included sandbag gives a perfect counterbalance for safety and smooth movement. Perfect for a hair light or product photography, you will wonder what you ever did without one.

I ordered a total of 6 of these stands from Amazon in 2 separate orders (3 each time). Out of the 6, only 2 arrived with all the pieces. I tried to call Manfrotto to request the missing pieces (as suggested by Amazon). They told me there was nothing they could do because I ordered it from a third-party (aka Amazon).All 3 of the 4 were missing the main lever. A few were missing the sandbag and top stud. Completely unusable without these pieces.The 2 with all the pieces work great! They’re sturdy and fairly lightweight. I’m excited to have a versatile stand that doubles as a boom. The price dropped between orders, so I’d say they’re worth the price. But seriously order it somewhere else if you want a guarantee of getting a whole product.

ブームも色んな廉価タイプがでてますが、どうせ買うなら最初からこちらをお勧めします。持っていたブームにガタが来て出張4日前に大慌てで購入。使い勝手、頑健さに大満足です。いつも安い物を買ってガタが来たら少し良いものを買う事を繰り返しての4本目でした。なぜ最初からこれを買わなかったのか…一体型の為設置も片付けも簡単で素早くでき大幅な時間短縮になりました。何より、しっかりした安定感のある作りで、倒れないか揺れないかと不安に思うことが一切ないです。撮影に集中できる事が本当素晴らしい。繰り返しますが、なぜ最初からこれを買わなかったのか…お高いのに、むしろコスパ最高！最強！と感じる良品です。

Très astucieux ça permet d'avoir une girafe assez portable et un pied au même temps. Pour ma part j'ai mis des cailloux dans 2 sachet congel puis dans le sac fourni. Ceci dit à la place de transporter le tout j'ai une petite pelle et un cabas dans mon sac photo. Une fois sur place je rempli le cabas avec de la terre et je l’accroche comme contrepoids. Une fois terminé je vide et le tour est joué. :-) ATTENTION IL EST LIVRE AVEC LE SPIGOT Manfrotto 013 universel. Il y a un commentaire erronée posté sur cet article. Vous n'avez pas à l'acheter en plus.

Ho acquistato il Manfrotto 420B per utilizzarlo con un flash monotorcia a batteria, il Godox AD600BM, e relativi modificatori.Come da titolo, credo sia davvero un prodotto ECCELLENTE. Un compromesso perfetto tra solidità e leggerezza/trasportabilità.Se serve reggere pesantissime torce da studio conviene acquistare degli appositi stativi, e questo è assodato, ma per un utilizzo con flash a slitta (anche multipli), torce "a batteria" (vedi i vari Godox AD600, Profoto B1 ecc..) e relativi modificatori (softbox, ombrelli ecc..) credo sia appunto il miglior compromesso possibile tra solidità e leggerezza. D'altronde in un set all'aperto doversi portare dietro uno di quei dinosauri da studio credo sia piuttosto scomodo.E' inoltre molto versatile nelle varie configurazioni, sia come stativo classico che come giraffa, e consente di poter posizionare il flash in qualunque posizione serva in pochi minuti e con poche ed agevoli operazioni.La capacità di carico di 9kg è riferita alla configurazione standard, ossia con l'asta in verticale. Con l'asta a giraffa invece Manfrotto dichiara (sul libretto) 2kg di carico massimo alla max estensione. Massima estensione che credo non utilizzerà mai nessuno con un monotorcia da più di 2kg (il braccio orizzontale esteso al massimo è davvero mooolto molto lungo). Al massimo io lo farei con un flash a slitta (il contrappeso aiuta... anzi, è assolutamente necessario).In sostanza: penso regga davvero bene! Ottimo acquisto!Unica NOTA NEGATIVA: l'imballo!! Non negativo... pessimo!! Anzi: inesistente!!Lo stativo è arrivato nel suo scatolo di cartone marchiato Manfrotto, senza un briciolo di protezione/imballo esterno, e per di più APERTO. Il coperchio era appunto aperto, senza la minima presenza di alcun sigillo, con libretti accartocciati e buttati lì "a vista". E questa non è colpa del corriere che l'ha consegnato che, anzi, è stato estremamente corretto non sottraendo nulla alla confezione non sigillata (se avessi avuto io per le mani qualcosa con su scritto Manfrotto non so se sarei stato altrettanto "virtuoso" eh...).Tutto questo è inaccettabile con qualunque ordine di qualsiasi importo, ma infinitamente più irritante con un acquisto da 160€. Venduto e spedito da Amazon oltretutto.Boh, che dire... spero non ricapiti più una cosa simile, altrimenti converrà acquistare tramite altri canali più economici!Morale: 5 stelle al prodotto, zero all'imballo!

Calidad Manfrotto en todos los detalles: barras, cierres, abrazaderas... Todo es robusto, como para durar toda una vida si lo cuidas. La posibilidad de utilizarlo como trípode convencional para luces y accesorios, y también como pértiga fija para micrófonos, lo convierte en un accesorio muy útil en cualquier estudio e, incluso, en un set de grabación externo. Sólo faltaría que incluyese una bolsa de transporte, pero teniendo en cuenta su relación calidad-precio, no se puede pedir más. Aguanta perfectamente un soporte para dos micrófonos de cañón (suspensiones y cables incluidos) a la altura máxima y en su máxima extensión, incluso colocando el boom en horizontal. Todo a una altura más que suficiente Para más comodidad recomiendo acoplarle un contrapeso como el manfrotto 172 o similarhttps://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B0043XQ4LO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1Si se requiere más contrapeso, siempre queda la bolsa, que también está hecha para durar. Esta compra ha sido un gran acierto. Lo recomiendo sin duda.

This is a very well made light duty boom! I use this for a hair light and for some back lighting depending on the situation, and it works excellently. I only use it with a small-medium soft box and a speedlight using an S-type mount and it works well for that. This setup does seem to be on the verge of it's abilities with this setup at max extension however, so I would only recommend it for light duty use. As far as the stand quality itself, this is the best stand I own as far as feel (and I have several other Manfrotto compact stands). The release and tensioning mechanisms have a really solid feel, and I love the friction bars top and bottom for moving and securing the legs into position. Both the legs and primary bar have plenty of thickness and heft to them, that I don't expect them to give out for any reason. The only weak spot on this frame is the final extension tube is fairly small and thin, and does flex some even with my light weight setup when making adjustments.I would highly recommend this for light duty use, but I'm not sure it would hold up to heavy mono-lights in a studio. I would definitely look elsewhere for any heavier lighting combos. I imagine this boom will last me for many years to come from it's build quality though! I did opt for iron weights instead of sand for various reasons including wear. If you're into portability there are some great water bladder weight options as well!note: I noticed some reviewers mentioned the adjustment handle was missing from the boom, mine did arrive with this item just fine, and everything was in the package needed for setup.

UPDATE: 7/22/2014: After using this product for 2 years I have no complaints. Every time I go to set it up it takes seconds and is very sturdy. The product is holding up well. I just wish I could afford two more of these. :-)----------------------------------------------------First, hats off to Amazon for their customer service. I received the product on time, but it was missing some key pieces and looked like a used unit. I asked for a replacement and I promptly sent back the unit in question. Two days later the replacement arrived (nice!), in great shape and with all of the pieces. (I also then realized that the first unit was missing Manfrotto documentation, something that the second unit did have).As for the unit itself, I've used it only a couple of times, but it works like a charm. It's exactly what I wanted to complete my three-point lighting system (a relatively cheap system that I pieced together).The one negative is the counterweight bag. I don't like the way it's constructed/arranged. It seems odd to have a hook that hangs the bag vertical, but then have horizontal oriented pockets on the bag. It's not a big deal, just something I noticed. I'll likely get some small weights and stuff them in there.Overall, another great Manfrotto product.

This can be a good stand and I think it will work well for me. I experienced shipping issues and have no idea what is going on with quality control on this unit. The first one I ordered was missing several parts. Now comes what is great about Amazon. I entered a request for exchange and the replacement was on its way before the UPS man picked up the first one the next day. Within two days I had a replacement. Now the bad news. The second one (as with the first one) still did not include the very necessary adjustment lever that tightens the boom arm when extended. I needed to use it and was frustrated so I went to a big box store and purchased a replacement knob for a lawn mower handle and made it work. What is going on here? Two in a row with the lever missing? At least the second one had only one missing part. This is a nice stand but be prepared for some nimble adjustments to balance the counter weighting to match the light. With the Flash Point Cool Light I had to add more sand bags to balance. Tightening the adjustment lever does little more than preventing the boom from sliding. Will not hold the weight. See my photos.

It's a light stand and a boom stand in one - I have no use for microphones in photography but the boom part is good for hair lights, it also is great when I use soft boxes etc. Sandbag included is quite handy and well constructed as well as the rest of unit. It's Manfrotto - they're known for quality goods and this unit is no exception. My only bad experience was in the shipping, the first time around it was rec'd in beat up shape (the box had been opened and taped back up again and the unit was completely out of its plastic sleeve) and without the brass spindle which is necessary for light use. I contacted amazon and they had to send out another unit (instead of just sending the brass spindle) which also came in pretty ratty shape (once again the box had been torn and beat up and the unit was out of its sleeve) but at least it had the spindle.
