walimex pro boom stand (115 to 400cm with 1.5 kg counterweight, working height 0 to 400 cm, tripod with spring damping, boom extension element with 3 telescopic sections extendable from 70 to 183 cm)

Perfect lighting

This boom stand is a practical solution for setting highlights or for general illumination from above. The illumination range of your studio flashguns is hereby expanded by a further dimension. This extremely compact and versatile boom arm can be used to easily and reliably attach light to medium-weight equipment such as studio flashguns, video lights, softboxes, backgrounds, reflectors, umbrellas or microphones.

With this boom stand, you can place your equipment very variably close to the ground or,
when the telescopic segments are fully extended, at a height of up to 4 m.

Versatile use with compact dimensions

The boom arm of this boom stand from walimex pro is extremely versatile and, with
its minimum length of 70 cm, can also be used in confined spaces. The length of the boom can be adjusted from 70 to 183 cm via two extendable sections. The 1.5 kg counterweight included in the scope of delivery makes handling in practical applications considerably easier. Thanks to its holder, the boom can be easily adjusted by up to 180° in height inclination and the built-in foam rubber handle ensures a high level of user comfort. The extendable telescopic segments of this boom can be quickly and securely locked and unlocked using the high-quality, blue anodised aluminium clip fasteners. In addition, the position of the telescopic rod holder can be moved along the longitudinal axis, providing a further option for changing the weight and length. Thanks to a solid tripod mount, the boom, as the boom is also called, can be attached to standard lamp tripods using a standard 5/8 inch (16 mm spigot). Thanks to a
mounting adapter with a 5/8-inch spigot (16-mm pin) and an additional
1/4-inch threaded connection, photographic equipment can be quickly and easily mounted on this
boom.

High-quality and resilient lamp tripod included.

The high-quality tripod can
be extended from <56cm to over 250cm56cm and is 56cm to over 250cm and is
at the same time, with only 98cm, extremely portable and
therefore ideal for both studio and mobile use. Despite the high-quality features, the walimex pro
lamp tripod weighs only 1620 grams. The stand impresses with its extremely stable stand, even when
fully extended.
Another advantage is the high continuous load capacity due to a very
high-quality and well-thought-out construction. All components are very solidly designed and, thanks to the use of metal fasteners and adjustable screws, this tripod will continue to give you pleasure even after years of use.

Comfortable spring damping

The tripod is equipped with spring damping to ensure that the individual tripod elements are lowered gently. Your equipment is therefore always in
safe hands. The tripod has a 5/8 inch spigot (16mm
spigot) connection with an additional 1/4 inch thread. The
boom can be attached, but of course other photo equipment such as lamps, reflectors or studio flashes up to 6kg can
be attached. A transport and
storage bag for the tripod is already included as standard.

• Download the full set of the instructions before setting up and using your device.
  
• Carefully read through the instructions before using your product for the first time. The instructions include all the important information that you will need to know about the product in order to avoid injuries and damage to your possessions.
  Risk of Injury When Loosening Pretensioned Parts!
  The springs on centre column are pretensioned when they are delivered. WARNING! When opening the tripod locks, make sure to keep enough distance from the top end of the tripod and do not lean over the tripod.
  
• So that the tripod can be packaged and delivered, the fitted spring damps are pushed slightly together and then locked into place. When opening the locking clamps, the centre column parts can spring out up to 20 cm. This may cause injuries.
  Risk of Injury Due to Improper Use
  
• Be careful not to trap your fingers in the struts on the tripod legs when folding your tripod.
  
• Please note that lamp tripods must be set up on a sufficiently strong, level surface to ensure maximum stability and load-bearing capacity.
  
• Please follow the safety information in the manual regarding the maximum load capacity for your tripod.
  
• Please note that the specified load capacity applies to any equipment that is placed in the middle of the tripod. Depending on the equipment used, the maximum load capacity may differ from the specified maximum load. When using a boom, it is recommended to use suitable counterweights.
  
• Please note that moisture can damage the parts on the middle column, and this may reduce the holding force and the parts on the centre column can start to slope downwards under heavy loads. Therefore, if necessary, dry the parts on the centre column with a soft, absorbent cloth (e.g. made of cotton).
  
• After using your tripod for a long period of time, you may have to tighten the screws on the tripod clamps. Not enough tension reduces the maximum holding force of the tripod. Make sure that the clamps are tight, but do not tighten them too much. If the torque is too tight, the parts on the centre column may no longer be able to be extended properly.
  
• When adjusting the centre column with mounted equipment, for your own safety and to protect the installed equipment, make sure that you hold the centre column with one hand while loosening the locks before loosening the tripod locks.
  
• Do not move a loaded tripod with an extended centre column. You should only move it very carefully by holding it and gently pushing it. When heavy camera equipment is fitted onto a tripod and the large centre column has been extended, this can quite often cause a very sudden leverage effect. The lamp tripod has a top-heavy design when camera equipment has been fitted onto the top, therefore, be careful that it does not tip over and damage any camera equipment or cause any injuries.
  
• When using heavy equipment, especially when the tripod has been fully extended, you may have to stabilise your tripod by adding weight to the legs. For this, we would recommend using special sandbags or tripod weights. These will ensure that your tripod is stable. You can also use safety ropes when using a tripod at different heights. They offer added stability for your tripod.
  
• Using tripod castors:
  Always lock the castors into place when you are not moving your tripod.
