Counterweight
Always use a counterweight
with the boom arm. When
mounting a light on the boom,
make certain that the ratchet
handle controlling the angle of
the boom is tightened. Start
with the boom at its shortest
length and support the boom
with one hand, so that the
boom won’t fall from the
added weight. After the light
is mounted, extend the boom
slowly, being certain that you
have enough counterweight on
the opposite end of the boom.
The further the boom is
extended, the heavier the
counterweight should be. An
empty weight bag which can
be filled with sand or other
material is included with the
Combo Boom Stand.
