Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the load capacity at maximum extension for this boom arm...(looking to extend a 30lb light as far as possible)?

A: The maximum load capacity of the Matthews Baby Boom is 15 lbs at full extension.

Q: 2. Does a c stand fit in this opening?

A: It's mostly meant to be dropped in Large 4.5" Grip Heads. The Kupo C-Boom Clamp for 1-1/4'' and 1-1/5'' Pipes has T-Slotted Ear for mounting. It holds Holds 1-1/4" and 1-1/5" Boom Poles, due to some C-stands made different - you will need to measure your stand to be exact about fitting.

Q: 3. Looking to pair this with a Manfrotto 1004BAC stand. Is this a good combo? And do I need any special adapters / converters to fit this on to the Manfrotto 100BAC stand?

A: For the boom to be properly balanced, you'll need a sand bag on the hook. When you combine the weight of the sand bag, the boom, and your lighting equipment, you will far exceed the working limit of 20lbs on the 1004BAC. Without the sand bag, the boom's friction setup will be stressed (if it will even hold) and it will be very difficult to work with, and in most cases, the stand would simply fall over. I would recommend using this with a heavy duty light stand.

Q: 4. Hi B&H, is there a hook on the end to hang a counterweight? HNY!

A: No, I use a rachet strap and anchor it to the bottom of the combo. Quick, easy, and one less sandbag to carry around.

Q: 5. Is the clip removable? Thanks in advance!

A: The K-Tek Boom and Accessory Clip can be rotated, but it is not designed to be removed.

Q: 6. Will this hold a Profoto B1?

Q: 7. Will this hold 1" tube like a C-Stand?

Q: 8. Do you think it would be possible to safely mount an Arri 650 to this guy? based off of the weight restrictions, and counterbalance formula it looked like id be able to safely get about 4 ft of extension. Which doesn't really get me much more then just a regular C stand arm. Would appreciate any thoughts, or recommendations.

A: Yes this would support it , make sure you counter weight it and sand bags

Q: 9. What is the closed length?
