Boom Arm Attachment

White Lightning

The LB11 Boom Arm is a support accessory for your flash units, attached to your heavy-duty light stand to hold an additional flash unit. With a flash unit mounted on the boom arm, the unit may be adjusted to provide light from various heights and angles. The Boom Arm is a three-part attachment, having an arm, a mounting bracket for the light stand and an 11-pound counterweight. The adjustable arm extends from 48 to 83 inches, allowing you to adjust the setup, accommodating high mounting on larger sets, as well as constricted mounting in smaller spaces. With this arm, your light direction can be angled in countless ways, without the restrictions of vertical mounting. The 11-pound counterweight (included with the LB11) provides a flexible counterbalance, offsetting the weight of attaching a flash unit, supporting a wide range of positions. The solid arm and counterweight are designed to hold any Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash units with any of our accessories, including the softboxes and octaboxes. Designed for comfort and simple use, both the arm and mounting bracket have large grips and knobs for easy adjustment to the desired position.

For simplicity, the boom arm arrives assembled, with the mounting bracket and counterweight already attached to the arm. The new design of our boom arm includes a new, sleek black counterweight that easily slides up and down the arm with its own adjustment knob to tighten and secure it into place. The new mounting bracket attaches to your light stand easily, offering multiple holes to fit light stand poles of various sizes.

The boom arm should only be used on a heavy-duty light stand that has a wide footprint to support its weight. The boom arm may be used on either our LS3900 13-foot Heavy Duty Light Stand, or our TS13AC 13-foot Air-Cushioned Heavy Duty Light Stand. For safe and sturdy support, the boom arm must be used on the second section of the light stand (the second section from the top). It is best to expand the light stand's footprint fully when using the boom arm attachment.

The top image on the left shows the boom arm mounted to our LS3900 13-foot stand. The boom arm arrives with the adjustable arm, the counterweight and the mounting bracket - the light stand is sold separately.
