Review on πŸ“Έ Enhance Your Photography Setup with LINCO Lincostore Zenith Photography Boom Arm 83" / 210cm - Includes Sandbag (AM224, Stand Not Included) by Jason Arkin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not for real photography with anything heavier than a flash with no modifier

I don't like writing bad reviews but I have Linco lighting stands and they are great value. However, this all-plastic linkage arm doesn't support weight without twisting. I couldn't get the cosmetic tray to hold its position (the arm's shaft rotates to let gravity win, so the ends of the softbox are pointing down). I got the connectors as tight as I could before they broke (I'm strong as a ox). In general, I threw 30 dollars at them. It might hold a screen or a reflector, but for all my purposes it's studio junk. The newer aluminum alloy has all the metal connections and clips and it's like comparing a child's toy to the real thing. Yes, it costs $20 more, but one works and the other doesn't. Buying things twice is not a way to save money.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Available in white only

Please just spend the extra and get a boom that will function correctly and last a while.
