  Related Questions and Answers

  Q: 1. What's the closed length, will this fit in a bag with 48 interior?

  A: Hi JamesThe closed length is 49 but you can unscrew and remove the counterweight hook on the end which brings the length to 47 . That's how I carry it. Hope this answer helps.

  Q: 2. Is there a workbook that goes with this book ?

  A: We do not have a workbook that would go along side the book.

  Q: 3. how do you assign the AE-L/AF-L on the D610 menu?

  A: It's under the Custom Menu Setting F9.

  Q: 4. Does this book cover off-camera flash photography or just on-camera flash?

  A: I have this book. From what I can make out (it is so detailed and verbose, almost too much so), most of it refers to understanding on-camera flash and manual modes, though some of it may be applicable to off-camera flash. There is a very small section for off-camera flash. I personally haven't used this book much after I bought it.

  Q: 5. How much weight can this arm support at its minimum extension?

  A: I typically use this boom with Bowens monolights and anything up to a 40x60 softbox, which combo weighs around 12 lbs. I would typically have between 4 and 5 feet boom length from the fulcrum point to the head (implying around 20 - 30 of extension of the internal bar), with around 18 counterbalancing length on the other end and between 20 - 25 lbs hanging from the hook (I would use an Impact CT40 MB turtle stand or similar for the base). There's almost no deflection in the boom in those circumstances and the whole rig is rock solid. I would fairly confidently suggest that with less extension than I use, the fulcrum point more centered and with similar counterbalancing weights, you shouldn't have any problems. The rig will manage higher weight with ease - it's a very solid boom

  Q: 6. What country is this made in?

  A: The country of origin for this item is Italy.

  Q: 7. So, does the grip have to be removed in order to change the battery that is in the camera?

  A: Yes the grip does need to be removed to take the battery out of the camera.

  Q: 8. Before I return this boom to B&H, when i received the boom, all these small metals studs fell out of it and the boom will not tighten completely. Is this normal??

  A: No - that's not normal;send it back. It's a great piece to have, but it shouldn't be falling apart out of the box.

  Q: 9. Work with Nikon z5?

  A: The Vello BG-N10 Battery Grip for Nikon D600 & D610 is incompatible with the Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Camera. Instead, get the Vello BG-N21 Battery Grip for Nikon Z 5, Z 6, Z 6 II, Z 7, and Z 7 II Mirrorless Camera, BH #VEBGN21.

  Q: 10. Are there any portable stands this boom can work with? All the recommended ones seem to be very heavy and not for on location shooting. Thanks.

  A: I would not recommend it. This is designed to be a long lasting inside boom and stand. The boom arm is not light and if you put it on an aluminium stand, my guess is the stand would bend. I would suggest finding an aluminium stand and boom arm.
