Manfrotto Super Boom Reviews

Very Not Super at all

By Scott
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2023-01-13

This Item clearly states in it's description that it will support an 11 pound fixture, I just received the boom and tried to mount a 9 lb item with two counter weights mounted and the boom started to bend in half until we quickly removed the figure before it was really damaged. In reality I would say that the superboom can only take half the advertised weight and I am very disappointed in my purchase. I am not used to misleading information from such a company as manfrotto

Classic Studio Lighting Tool

The super boom is the classic tool for positioning a softbox/strobe over a tabletop setup.

Boom 5 Stand 3

By Sudesh S

The boom is amazing. Smooth operating cranks on on heavy 30x60 soft box with heavy PCB Einstein strobe. 5 stars there no doubt. BUT, the stand that comes with this set up could have been more robust and makes the setup way too top heavy. I decided to mount the boom on my Mathews Junior stand. I should bought it that way for around $$.

A fully well protected item during transportation by B&H. Brand new item. Light and versatile item for a professional boom.

Great Piece of Equip

Very sturdy, great equipment, although received scratched and wheels are poor quality. However would recommend purchase anyway. But wheels do not lock and fall off easy

very happy with this one.

I used normal avenger boom for long time but after i broke strobe head tight nob i have to consider buying this. I am very happy with this one just so easy and precise control. But be aware this is 9 feet long and heavy in the tube box. I pick it up at BH loading dock with my mini van.

The Manfrotto Super boom is great

This is much bigger than the photo makes it look. It's really heavy duty and great to hold up my 6' Elinchrom light adapter.

Wow photos are misleading!

This Manfrotto Super Boom is heavy duty and huge! I am so happy I got this to go with my Manfrotto tripod. The photograph of this super boom makes it look pretty lightweight but it is not! Great for holding up the Elinchrom 72 Octo!

question

Specs state that this boom extends to 8.8''. What is the minimum or closed length?
Asked by: randy b.
Not sure exactly but around or smaller than 40 I guess as it fits in with my case with 40 c-stands and arms.

question

Does this come with a lead counter weight? How heavy?
Asked by: Warren R.
Yes, it comes with a substantial weight, heavy enough to offset a large light head on the end of the boom. 15lbs I believe
