"A really nice boom that holds a good amount of weight. I've used it outdoors as well as indoors and it stands up well to a stiff breeze. I mostly use it with speedlights and softboxes, but recently used it with a monoblock and it held just fine. Highly recommend. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"I purchased this boom to hold a hairlight. It is very much heavy duty and gives me confidence that it will never drop a light on anyone. I secured it to a heavy duty stand having a wide footprint and I don't have to weight it. Excellent choice. "

"No complaints whatsoever - great boom ( I paired it with 9.5' Impact Heavy Duty Light Stand).

5 lb counterweight it's perfect and much better than dangling sand bag.

I'm a Strobist guy so it holds my Beauty Dish w/SB800 or one of softboxes - and it holds well.

Smith-Victor Heavy Duty Boom Arm Review

mini boom...not tuff enuff for field use

★★☆☆☆
2.0

    Pros

  • inexpensive

    Cons

  • Flimsy

    Best Uses

  • Indoors
  • leave it at the studio
 

"You get what you pay for.

The body & handles are plastic. One of handles snapped off in my hand after about 3 week.
