Comments about Avenger E700 Baby Drop Down Pin - 5/8":
The tube that attaches to the boom is solid, it is made of stainless steel. The locking knob is solid too. The drop down pin is made of soft aluminum and it is plated. The fastener that joins the tube and the pin is very mediocre. I wish it were made of one strong knurled thumb screw.

Comments about Avenger E700 Baby Drop Down Pin - 5/8":
-I have profoto lights. If I attach the light directly to the boom, It is difficult to keep the head from rotating on the stud (downward with gravity), if there is a heavy modifier on the light. This item helps limit that effect, and helps maintain the angle of the head if the boom arm is rotated up or down.
-If you have a standard length 5/8" light stand stud on the end of your boom, you will need to add an extension or change to a longer stud, because the locking knob is not close enough to the end to lock properly in that configuration.

I cannot imagine using the D600 Mini Boom and hanging any kind of lighting fixture without this essential piece of hardware. It allows precession adjustments.

Comments about Avenger E700 Baby Drop Down Pin - 5/8":
The drop down pin is designed to keep the strobe leveled no matter how the boom is angled, I think that is why the other reviewer had problems with it, its designed to move at all times, the only screw that has to be tight is the one with the big handle, the small ones don't have to be tight.
The only thing you have to take into account is the angle you want your strobe to be, everything else you control with the boom angle or rotation.

Comments about Avenger E700 Baby Drop Down Pin - 5/8":
But... make sure you are going to use it. I thought it would provide some extra use for my boom and monolight - but I haven't found a reason to use this yet! The screws are hard to tighten down enough to where it won't change positions when you add a monolight.
Not to mention I haven't found much use for it. I put a light on a boom and boom it over the heads of my subjects! To use this you'd have to take down the light and adjust the position and use a pair of pliers to lock it down. Or it seemed that difficult to me!
Very sturdy and strong though, great steel... it would definitely work if you know what you need it for.
