Impact Baby Boom with Ear Overview

The B-EBPA-B Aluminum Boom Arm with Ear from Impact is a sturdy boom arm that will support up to 6.6 lb of gear at its maximum extension of 7.3'. This boom arm features a built-in ear flange that fits perfectly into most grip heads, so it can be used with any light stand with a standard 2.5" or 4.5" lollipop grip head, available separately.

Beefy aluminum construction and oversized locking knobs will securely hold accent, hair, and top lights at enough distance to position the light stand out of the image area. Adjustable sleeves and a heavy-duty counterbalance hook make it easy to quickly and effortlessly find the perfect balancing points for the mounted gear.

Mounts to Any 2.5" Grip Head
The B-EBPA-B boom arm is compatible with a standard 2.5" grip head. Use this boom arm to mount lighting fixtures that weigh up to 6.6 lb.
Ear Flange Mount
The built-in ear flange makes this boom arm compatible with virtually any steel light stand that has a standard 2.5" or 4.5" lollipop grip head. The ear features a T-slot for extra safety for mounted gear and is designed to mount quickly and provide a firm, slip-free arm.
7.3' Extension
The boom arm boasts a maximum extension of 7.3', allowing a hair light or other accent light to be placed above a subject at enough distance that will keep the light stand out of the image area.
6.6 lb Load Capacity

Impact Baby Boom with Ear Reviews

Great Boom Arm to get those Flashes in Hard to Reach Places

By Jeff
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-08-15

After using the Impact B-EBPA-B Aluminum Boom Arm I can say that this is an impressive fixture that would be great for photography use. I found myself in a photography set up this past week that needed a flash from overhead and the arm had no issues booming out my flashes in the hard to reach areas. I don't have anything fancy with my flash set up, just your basic Hot Shoe flashes that were enslaved to some transmitters with a mini softbox dome on them. Worked out great! I don't own any of the smaller Amaran/Aputure fixtures myself but I could see this arm working with them just fine. So I'd have to say I believe this boom arm would be great for photographers, youtubers, and content creation, but maybe for those that are looking for a boom arm for professional video production with heavier light heads I'd have to recommend going for their Steel version of this arm as it has a higher weight capacity. For the right job this tool can be just what you need. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review.]

the load capacity for the arm is 6lbs. wanted to ask if i mount 3.9lb pavoslim120c can i put a 15lb sandbag on the arm's hook?
Asked by: Kevin
A 15 lb sandbag can be used to counterbalance the Impact B-EBPA-B Aluminum Boom Arm with Ear and the Nanlite Pavoslim 120c. However, it may be overkill. You can use a smaller shot bag or sandbag like the Impact SSB-5 Saddle Shot Bag (Black, 5 lb), BH # IMSSB5, or the Impact Filled Saddle Sandbag (5 lb, Black), BH # IMSBFB5.
