Interfit Strobie Boom Arm

Comments about Interfit Strobie Boom Arm:

There's not much to say. It's a long pole with a light stand attachement at the end. It's sturdy enough for a speedlight and umbrella, even fully extended. And, if you have a shoe shock mount for a boom mic, this works great for audio stuff too.

unusual looks, for example of a monument

Super easy to attach a speedlight to this, and have your VAL put light werever you need it.

I put a speed light on the end of this boom arm and ta da...light on a stick. Thats what it's for and it works. I don't think I would put a heavy monolight on the end of it but for a speed light it is perfect. Good reach and the price is great.

It's great to get overhead light w/a dc monolight
only complaint is it is hard to tighten the top section

Built well, just not too crazy about the plastic slide clamps.

very happy with my purchase. I recommend this to any serious portrait photographer.

Perfect weight. Fully retracted it is not cumbersome with a an SB800 or SB900 and Lumiquest soft box on the end. I use RadioPoppers for my triggers to nothing to worry about line of sight for the CMS to work. Add the umbrella and it takes a bit more focus.. Extended to full length obviously takes two hands but feels solid, not like a flimsy poll with [$] of equipment on the end of it. Already redesigning some of my shots to incorporate the flexibility of the the boom for post ceremony wedding shots as well as portrait. VERY happy with construction, price and what appears to be good durability. Only regret is waiting this long to get it.

I used this for event photography. It's easy to use and very lightweight. Packs in a suitcase, too.

Comments about Interfit Strobie Boom Arm:

Gives more latitude with lighting people or anything likely to move. Assuming a willing assistant to hold and manipulate it, you can get a lot more done, and quicker, than if you have to move light stands around. Simple piece of equipment that does what it is supposed to very well.

Great price on this one. No need for one of the more expensive ones that are out there.

Comments about Interfit Strobie Boom Arm:

Surprisingly long & sturdy boom arm with a good foam grip. Pretty light weight, for its length. Good either to use by yourself, or hand off to an assistant when a free-standing boom is either unavailable or impractical.

Comments about Interfit Strobie Boom Arm:

This is a nice, light weight boom arm that your assistant can easily carry and maneuver.

I'm giving this five stars for what it is intended for... a speelight. I've been using this boom with an Alien Bees 800 monolight with a 46" soflighter strapped to the end of it. You have to really tighten the individual boom sections down if you're going to be using heavy gear on the end of it, but a speedlight with a softlighter is no problem whatsoever. Just know, because I didn't, that if you're going to use a large monolight it may frustrate you by spinning around if you don't give it an extra tighten.
