Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Footprint measurement please?

A: Matthews does not list the actually foot print of the base of the Matthews Max Boom - 17.5'. Looking at the boom in use the base is around 4.5-5'.

Q: 2. 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: 3. Can you provide the part information for the knob that fastens the boom to a light stand?
