Where to get a boom?
I'm looking for a light boom that I can attach to a lightstand. I've checked out some online shops where they sell both the stand and boom, but I don't need the stand. Does anyone know if I can get these separately?

Re: Where to get a boom?
besides the counterweight, you should also weigh down the legs of your lightstand.

Re: Where to get a boom?
if you are using the boom arm for mono block, you need at least a manfrotto master stand or bigger, else the stand will sure give way halfway.
you can using a any 5lt plastic container filled with some water, tide to the end boom arm as counterweight. |
