The redwing 1200 Breaks down in three segments for ease of transportation. Longest segment 142cm (56")

The RedWing Head Extension for Boom - 18 B&H # REHE18 would actually be a separate purchase. Please see the image below.

Unless you are using an extremely large/heavy modifier, the boom will stay in place. There is a nut on the opposite side of the boom that you can tighten to stop the rotation, but this will make it difficult to rotate the light/modifier.

The manufacturer does not specify the design spec of the Cambo RD-1200 Redwing Standard Light Boom with Empty Counterweight Bags BH #CARD1200.

You can add more weight to the bags and change their position to keep the light balanced where you want it. We do not have a knob for this version but when balanced you should not need one.

The BH #CARD1200 comes with empty counterweight bag. The BH #CARD1201 comes with lead shot counterweight. The boom is the same for both part numbers.

During usage. the Cambo RD-1200 Redwing Standard Light Boom with Empty Counterweight Bags has a maximum reach of 6 feet (1.8 m) with the included 18" (46 cm) extension. The over all size of the assembled boom is 9.5 feet (2.9 m).

I contacted the manufacturer concerning your inquiry. According to Cambo, they state that the load capacity does not depend on the mechanical strength of the Cambo RD-1200 Redwing Standard Light Boom with Empty Counterweight Bags. It will not break under excessive load. Instead, its load capacity depends on the stand you are using to support it and the amount of counter weight. As long as the set-up is balanced properly, you may pack a lot more on it than the weight of the average light source.
