Key features

• Rubber pad: Reduces surface damage and enhances gripping action against the boom tube.
• Tube compatibility: Fits any tube with a diameter between 20mm and 35mm.
• Weight: 4kg (8.8 lbs), suitable for balancing heavier lighting rigs on a boom.

How it helps on set

Use the KCW-04 to counterbalance heavier lighting rigs on a boom. The locking clamp makes it straightforward to reposition the weight along the boom and secure it where you need it. This lets you fine-tune balance without relying solely on a sandbag that stays at the end of the boom.

Compatibility and practical notes

The KCW-04 fits tubes from 20mm to 35mm in diameter. The rubber pad protects the tube surface and improves grip to keep the weight stable once clamped. Because it is constructed from heavy duty painted iron, the unit provides consistent counterbalance performance for typical boom-mounted lighting setups.
