LightPro Medium Boom Stand with Weight - Precision Articulation and Rock-Solid Stability for Overhead Rigging

The LightPro Medium Boom Stand is a heavy-duty, articulating grip solution engineered to safely suspend studio strobes, high-output COB LEDs, and audio equipment over talent without compromising your set's center of gravity.

Built for the Demands of Modern Production

When configuring high-output hair lights, top-down product rigs, or complex multi-subject interview setups, maintaining floor space while safely cantilevering heavy fixtures is a constant challenge. The LightPro Medium Boom Stand is specifically engineered to solve the critical issues of off-axis weight distribution. Constructed with a rigid metal chassis and reinforced high-quality polymer (HQP) junction collars, this system actively resists torsion and bowing under demanding payloads. The included 5kg steel counterweight allows grips and gaffers to precisely balance rigged equipment, ensuring that locking mechanisms are never subjected to premature stripping or sheer failure when flying larger continuous lights equipped with heavy parabolic modifiers.

Safety and rapid deployment are fundamental to this stand's architecture. The vertical mast features a spring-loaded center column, functioning as an internal mechanical dampener to prevent catastrophic gear crashes and protect expensive strobe tubes or COB chips during rapid height adjustments. Offering a highly efficient 55cm footprint radius, the base provides exceptional lateral stability to support the overhead load while remaining compact enough to squeeze into dense C-stand forests or cramped location environments.

With an articulating boom arm that telescopes to a maximum extension of 220cm, cinematographers and photographers gain the essential reach necessary to completely clear the stand from wide-angle frames. Whether you are executing dynamic overhead top-down shots, flying a heavily blimped shotgun microphone just out of frame, or wrapping a large softbox over a scene, this boom stand delivers repeatable, precise positioning without the micro-sag commonly encountered in entry-level grip gear.

Production FAQ

Will the base footprint fit safely into small, enclosed studio sets?

The stand features a compact 55cm footprint radius, which strikes an optimal balance—providing enough lateral spread to securely anchor the cantilevering boom arm while easily navigating crowded soundstages and tight cyclorama walls.

How does the stand protect against sudden fixture drops during on-the-fly adjustments?

The vertical mast is equipped with an integrated spring-loaded center column that acts as a heavy-duty shock absorber. This actively protects your sensitive lighting elements and modifiers from impact damage if a locking collar is loosened too quickly while bearing a heavy payload.

Can the boom arm extend far enough to fly a hair light completely out of a wide master shot?

Absolutely. The boom arm extends up to a full 220cm, providing massive horizontal reach that easily places lighting fixtures directly over your subject while keeping the vertical mast entirely outside the boundaries of your widest field of view.
