Kupo KCP-626B Ultra Boom – 2.7 m reach with 5 kg load capacity
The Kupo KCP-626B Ultra Boom provides controlled elevation and precise angling of lighting fixtures without climbing a ladder. It extends to 2.7 m (8.8 ft) and supports a maximum load of 5 kg (11 lbs) at full extension. The boom ships with counterweight and adapter options that help you balance and mount lights securely.
Build and finish
The boom arm is made from lightweight aluminum alloy and features a black anodized finish. This construction offers a balance of strength and manageable weight. The tube diameter measures 35 mm, matching common grip equipment and accessories used in studio and location work.
Movement and control
At the end of the boom, coaxial geared controls deliver a smooth 180-degree movement. You can position fixtures precisely thanks to these geared adjustments. In addition, the Ultra Boom includes dual cranks that allow remote control over pan and tilt, giving you further flexibility when setting angles from a distance.
Balance, counterweights and setup
The boom extends up to 2.7 m (8.8 ft) when used with the included counterweight. The product description lists a 4 kg (8.8 lbs) counterweight as included to achieve the stated extension. The specification list also indicates a weight of 8 kg with the KCW-04 counterweight included; both details are provided with the product.
When you combine the Ultra Boom with a Pivot clamp and a lighting stand, you create a stable support for elevating and angling lights. This setup helps you achieve the desired lighting position safely and without the need to climb a ladder.
Applications
The Ultra Boom fits studio and location use, and it supports both stills and video shooting. Use it to raise lights above a set, angle fixtures for accent lighting, or fine-tune positions for interviews and product shots. The included adapter and standard mounts make it compatible with common lighting accessories.
