Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This CowboyStudio Premium Pro Boom Set with Light Stand and Boom is easy to assemble and would be a great addition to your studio. The W501 boom stand is very useful when positioning your lights more directly above your subject. Twin to our counter weight boom, the 501 boom instead utilizes the more traditional sandbag technology for extra control.

The black anodized aluminum finish gives this boom a professional look without the expensive price. The quick release locks makes adjusting the height of the stand and the length of the boom arm simple and quick.

Specifications:

Sandbag has 2 9”x10” zipper pouches, attached by carabineer clip (Disclaimer: not for climbing)
1 year manufacturer warranty

Light Stand:

Height is adjustable from 2'8"-6'8"
Footprint is 3’2"
48" long and 9” wide (at widest point) when closed
5/8" stem
1/4" screw tip on stem
Spring cushioned
Folds up quickly and easily

Boom Arm:

Length is adjustable from 3'11"-7'
5/8" stem

Directions:

Open the legs to form a tripod and fasten it in place to make sure it doesn’t move.
Then you are going to want to attach the light to the stand and make sure it is secure and applied correctly.
Attach the boom to the top of the stand and make sure it is secure to avoid any damage.
Your boom and light stand are ready to use.

Drummer Strong Boom-Bang

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2012

Style: w501boomVerified Purchase

Thought i'd write a few lines on this item. My first time ordering from Amazon so i got a bunch of stuff including the 'Fotodiox 48" Octagon Softbox with Soft Diffuser' to work with this boom as it came recommended by Amazon. I find this very handy that you dont have to dig through all the fine details to know if something works with another item.

The Boom box came on time and immediately i was impressed by how solid the boom and stand legs were. I was not too impressed how small the cross braces were as this would add to the torsional stability of the unit once mounted up. I am also a drummer i noticed another review talking about the clamps being of poor quality but i found them to be quite sturdy and similar in construction to a drummers cymbal stand or boom stand and those thing take constant angry blows from a rock drummer. Time will be the test for this aspect of the kit though.

The nylon sand bag was a bit cheap and i felt that maybe a solid thick cloth bag may be less prone to ripping. Not a deal breaker though as it's duhh.. a sand bag.

I plan to use a 48" diffuser on this so i know i will have some counterweight issues anyways so i will probably have to get something heavier for the base and for sure this sand bag will not hold the weight with the boom fully extended. I was amazed at the length of the boom too.. this will allow for the base to be located very far from the subject which is nice and will allow for wide angle shots as well as it will not limit the photogs movement in and around the subject .. once you have enough weight on the base.

I think over-tightening of the clamps may be the cause for some clamps becoming compromised as is normal with clamps of these type... so .. i'll update this in a few months and let you all know..

All in all, good buy.. good price.. good general construction.

CowboyStudio M-1 Double Duty 2-in-1 13' Rotatable Studio Boom Stand / Light Stand 12lb Load with Sandbag - WOW ! ! !

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2013

Style: m-1 boomVerified Purchase

If, like me you've been seriously thinking and thus researching Boom stands, Manfrotto etc and holding off due to price vs value your search is over. I just recieved it today (Dec 30th) 4 days since I ordered it (for $10.00 more with free shipping as opposed to now, $10.00 less but with $9.00 shipping - I want my dollar) and right out of the box I knew I made a great purchase. I've looked extensively and held off but decided "What the heck" it being Christmas and all to go for it, glad I did. It's well constructed, the stand offers a large footprint for stability and the canvas sandbag? two zippered pockets, thick material with a nice carabiner as well. Placed a 5 lb. dumbell bell weight I had laying around in one of the pockets with an Alien Bee AB800 in a 24x36" softbox and it's solid as a rock. It's rated for 12 lbs and I respectfully disagree with one of only two (?) reviewers so far that "it's a bit sketchy" weight-wise fully extended. I tried bending the furthest, smallest diameter section at the end and there is no "play" whatsoever. If I hang say one of my kids on the end? then maybe, but even then I don't think so. I definitely see another one arriving at my doorstep in the near future. A main light, hair light and or, for that "60 minutes" interview video lighting setup look . . . . it's perfect. I love and own numerous Manfrotto products that are built like a tank and will last forever, and am a firm believer that you get what you pay for . . . . in this case however you are getting a helluva lot more than the price you're paying. Amazon reviews to me are very important in making an educated decision and that is why I spent the time instead of playing with my new Boom to write this review.

Description not accurate.

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2012

Style: w501boomVerified Purchase

I received the items showed and described, minus the weight bag.

I had ordered 4 extra weight bags and clamps which were with the order. But the included bag from the description was not with it.

I'm not sending it back because the stand and arm are heavy and well-built. In fact, this stand and arm is larger and heaver then what I have previously used for a reflector stand, which is what I purchased it for. I was expecting a stand which would collapse to about 2 feet or so. This stand is nearly 4 feet long when collapsed. The arm is a little longer when collapsed. As I said above, both seem to be heavy and well-made and should last many years with proper care.

A small note: I read where another user had a problem with the clamping mechanism which holds the arm. This type of clamping mechanism is subject to being over-tightened and the whole outfit can be over-extended.
Use good judgement with how much weight you put on this setup and how far you extend it. (As you extend the arm, you decrease the weight capacity.)

The lower rating here is because of the missing weight bag. I would give this 5 stars if everything described was with it.

Update to my review. 04/15/2012
I just increased it from 3 stars to 5 stars, even though I never did get that sand bag which was supposed to come with it. But I'm happy with the stand. It's not perfect for my needs, but I can make-do, and I use it for some other things.

I've also looked on the Denny Manufacturing Co. website where they have what appears to be the same stand and arm setup. Denny Manufacturing sells it for $179.99, minus $45 if you are a Denny Manufacturing club member.
At $56 on Amazon, it's a great deal.
