The Impact Food Photography Kit offers a compact, basic setup with a fluorescent lamp head and a versatile stand that will allow you to shoot your own cuisine or a wide variety of tabletop items. You can enhance the head's quality of light with the included 19.7 x 19.7" softbox or optional diffusion, such as Impact's 33" or 43" White Translucent Umbrella.
The Impact Convertible Boom Arm/Light Stand is a triple-duty support that can serve as a 13' light stand or as an overhead boom capable of supporting a small light head, such as the included fluorescent fixture, at an extension of almost 3 feet from the center of the stand. Alternately, you can bounce the light off of a reflector or pump it through diffusers up to 60" by supporting them with the stand's spring clips.
The Single-Socket Fluorescent Fixture comes with a compact fluorescent lamp with a daylight-balanced color temperature of 5000K. The fixture's bracket tilts and locks into position and features a standard 5/8" receiver that mounts on any 5/8" stud or accessory.

Impact Multiboom Light Stand and Reflector Holder (13')
The Impact Convertible Boom Arm/Light Stand can support a small or medium light head to a height of 13'. Raise the second section completely, click, and it is a boom stand. As a boom, it can hold a small light head to an extension of almost 3' from the center of the stand.
It is a reflector holder by means of its two clips, which can support an Impact, Flexfill, or Photoflex light disc as large as 60".
A hole at the end of the arm allows an optional counterweight to be hung, for greater stability.
Using as a Boom Stand
- Loosen the large long handle in the middle of the stand.
