Boom Arm, what do you think?

[Derrel]

Hows this for an "all in one".

I have a manfrotto tripod and absolutely love it.

Manfrotto 085BS Heavy Duty Boom and Stand (Black) 085BS B&H

This appears to be the same model that I have two of...been pretty good for me. It might be "more boom and stand" than is needed for some people, but this is the boom model I've been happy with for a long time.

I've been using a 20" Kupo C stand for a while so I decided to purchase another 40" and their baby boom arm and put wheels on both stands !

My situation may be a little different than others, I have a smooth wood floor and to date have not needed or plan to take these on location.

Two things to be aware of...

The legs on the Kupo are 1", the only place I could find castors to fit was ebay. (The Impact castors from B&H fit the 7/8" legs of my ProMaster stands but that is the largest they sell).

The other thing is the angle of the legs is wrong and I needed to have a machine shop weld up adapters.

BTW - Full extension of Kupo (7.8'), Mathews (7'), Manfrotto (6'5").

Cheers, Don

Don, thats a cool write up. Neat how you re-angled the wheels to be more efficient. You have a nice set up there.
