Review on Velbon V4 Articulating Boom Arm by Dominique Patel

One of a kind, there are other tripod arms but none quite like this one. Ideal for macro shots or to increase the height of an already extended center column. Build quality is good, it's aluminum with plastic inserts, it's relatively light and pretty solid after blocking. Yes, it would be nice if the jagged section was longer, it would be nice if the construction was sturdier, but it's a great compromise for light weight and added versatility in the field when towing a tripod. outside again. No, it's not up to Gitzo standards, but it's a great solution at a reasonable price, and I'm very grateful for what it does. You will need an additional 3/8" thread adapter if your head uses a larger bolt size, only one bottom mount adapter comes with the stem. Recommended!
