A boom is an essential tool for positioning a light fixture directly above the photographer, videographer, or cinematographer to create flat light. Alternatively, you can position it above the subject to act as a hair light. The Kupo KCP-640M Baby Boom provides a simple, sturdy solution for these common lighting setups.
The boom features an all-metal steel construction that delivers reliable rigidity on set. Furthermore, it includes an "ear" specifically designed to fit between the plates of a grip head, which allows quick and secure mounting to standard grip hardware. At the tail end, the boom comes equipped with a built-in hook so you can add a sandbag for counterweight and extra safety.
This Baby Boom extends from 1.1 to 2.4m, giving you flexible reach for overhead or angled positions. When fully extended, it supports up to 5kg, which helps you plan the lights and modifiers you will mount without exceeding the boom’s capacity.
The boom is supplied in a chrome plated steel finish. This finish provides a clean, professional look and protects the underlying metal while remaining compatible with typical grip and lighting setups.
