I am loving this boom arm! I saw Joel Grimes use this arm in his photo shoots and decided to get one for myself and I have not regretted it. It's easy to use and strong enough to hold my strobes. I am very happy with my purchase and recommend it to everyone.
This boom is excellent as it allows me to extend my strobes into the position that I want.
When extending the arm to hold a Godox SK400II and a Bowens softbox over the top of an item on a table, the arm slips. It took 35 Lbs. of sandbags to counter balance it to get it to stay up and not slowly fall down on top of the table. The arm it not rated for a load capacity of 35 Lbs of sandbags plus the weight of the light and softbox! I wish I could return it!
This is the only boom I have ever owned so I have nothing to compare it to. However, it works very well. It is well built, adjusts easily, stays in position, and is a lot more sturdy than I expected. I am quite pleased with this purchase.
I have one in black and have been wanting to get one in chrome for several years to match my rolling junior stands but never bothered, until now as I'm getting new studio gear. My preference is for the Avenger over the Matthews version. I like the metal handles on this version. Both have solid build quality. Cannot go wrong with either.
It works just the way it should. It's sturdy, well made of reliable chromed steel, and the controls are tight as they should be. The only way it could be improved is for it to have been made with a 1 and 1/8 inch junior pin to attach to a junior receivers on a larger and heavier type light stands, but I understand that most photographers don't use stands that are the size and price of most junior stands, so that is unrealistic for manufacturers who want to sell their products in greater numbers.
I like this boom for the price. Couldn't get it to tighten down enough with the handle that is on there. Couldn't get enough leverage. I took a large grip head handle and screwed that on. Solved my problem. Can get a good grip on it now and works perfectly. Here are some photos for anyone else interested in doing this.
Of all the lighting gear in my kit, this boom almost always gets used. Such a good tool for toppy light, or getting units and stands further away from the frame, My friend ended up bending the black one beyond usability, so I bought a chrome one as a replacement. It does seem to be a little more sturdy.
