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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Super price with warning

Arrow selection in this price range is limited. However, I had low expectations for this product. When it arrived quickly, it seemed surprisingly well made at first glance. And considering the price. I have to believe the material cost of making it is pretty close to the price. I bought it to position my 80cm softbox for macro photography. It works well with one important warning. DO NOT put too much weight on the end of the boom! I have an 80cm softbox with two flashes inside which is fine but the problem could be a lot more. And be sure to use the same amount of counterweight in the included bag on the other end. I add stones until the perfect balance is reached. More importantly, DO NOT over-tighten the clamps! I did it on the first one I got and the clamps basically fell apart. They don't need to be tightened at all. Consider the limitations of this hardware and how much you paid for it and it will work great. If you're contemplating mounting a heavy studio flash or $3,000 DSLR on it, get realistic and spend the big bucks on a C-Tripod or a suitable tripod.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

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