Lightpro D600 Steel Boom Arm - Unyielding Overhead Rigging for Professional Sets

Precision-engineered from high-tensile steel, this specialized grip arm provides secure, flexible overhead positioning for heavy lighting fixtures, modifiers, and audio arrays without encroaching into your camera's frame.

Built for the Demands of Modern Production

Achieving the perfect top-down lighting angle or placing a shotgun microphone exactly on the talent's axis often presents a significant rigging challenge on set. The Lightpro D600 Steel Boom Arm is built to solve the geometrical constraints of tight shooting environments by moving the vertical support stand safely out of the shot. Constructed from industrial-grade steel rather than lightweight aluminum, this arm drastically reduces the flex and torsion typically associated with heavy, offset payloads. It enables you to confidently fly a high-output COB light paired with a deep parabolic softbox exactly where the scene demands it.

Managing the center of gravity is critical when rigging overhead, and the D600 simplifies this with a dynamic, adjustable mounting fulcrum. By sliding the pivot point along the length of the 220cm arm, grips and gaffers can dial in the precise counterbalance required to neutralize the load. This ensures that your primary grip head and locking mechanism are never fighting unnecessary rotational torque, leading to faster angle adjustments and vastly improved safety over talent. At its maximum forward reach of 135cm from the center pivot, the arm maintains a strict safety payload of 7kg—providing ample structural capacity for medium-to-heavy professional lighting arrays.

Portability and practical field operations remain highly efficient. Despite its rugged steel build and impressive reach, the entire boom collapses down to a travel-friendly 122cm. Coupled with the included counterweight sandbag, this arm provides a comprehensive, self-contained overhead rigging solution that bridges the gap between massive studio grid setups and nimble, on-location production kits.

Production FAQ

How much weight can this boom handle when fully extended?

At its maximum 135cm extension from the pivot point, the D600 arm safely supports a 7kg (15.4 lbs) payload, making it ideal for flying medium-sized COB LED fixtures with modifiers.

How does the boom manage counterbalance for heavy offset loads?

The arm features an adjustable mounting pivot point to optimize the setup's center of gravity, and it includes a fillable sandbag to provide the necessary kinetic counterweight opposite your payload.

Does the arm collapse for transport?

Yes, the boom arm retracts to a highly portable travel length of 122cm, allowing it to easily fit into standard grip hardware bags or light stand rolling cases.

What happens if I accidentally exceed the payload limit?

To prevent unexpected failure, the steel tube is designed to exhibit visible structural flex once the payload reaches 9kg or more, providing a clear visual warning before the safety tolerances of the locking mechanism are compromised.
