Avenger A4041B Aluminum Boom Stand 41 (13.5′, Black): Versatile Overhead & Off-Axis Lighting Control
The Avenger A4041B Aluminum Boom Stand 41 (13.5′, Black) is a highly versatile and robust lighting support solution designed for professional photographers and videographers who require precise control over overhead or off-axis lighting. This combination stand and boom arm allows for intricate light positioning, enabling you to place lights exactly where you need them without the stand interfering with your shot. It’s an indispensable tool for product photography, portraits, interviews, and any scenario demanding creative and flexible illumination.
Dual Functionality: Stand and Boom Arm in One:
The A4041B is ingeniously designed to serve as both a sturdy light stand and an extendable boom arm. This dual functionality offers exceptional value and reduces the need for multiple pieces of equipment. When used as a stand, it provides reliable support for various fixtures. When deployed as a boom, it allows you to extend lights over subjects, from above, or at complex angles that traditional stands cannot achieve.
Impressive Reach for Overhead Lighting:
With a maximum height of 13.5 feet (approximately 4.1 meters) when fully extended as a stand, and significant horizontal reach when the boom arm is utilized, the A4041B provides ample range for illuminating subjects from above or creating expansive lighting setups. This reach is crucial for large sets, group shots, or achieving dramatic overhead effects.
Robust Aluminum Construction for Strength & Portability:
Constructed from high-quality black anodized aluminum, the A4041B strikes an excellent balance between strength, durability, and portability. Aluminum ensures the stand is robust enough to securely hold light fixtures and modifiers, while remaining significantly lighter than steel alternatives, making it easier to transport and set up on location. The black finish also helps minimize reflections on set.
Integrated Counterweight for Safety and Balance:
A key safety feature for boom stands, the A4041B typically includes or is designed to easily accommodate an integrated counterweight (often a sandbag or specific boom weight). This counterweight ensures proper balance when the boom arm is extended, preventing tipping and providing a stable platform for your valuable lighting equipment.
Precision Locking Mechanisms for Secure Positioning:
The stand features robust and easy-to-use locking knobs on all sections, including the risers and boom arm extension. These precision mechanisms ensure that all elements are securely locked in place once adjusted, preventing slippage and maintaining your desired light position throughout the shoot.
Universal Mount for Broad Compatibility:
The top of the A4041B is typically equipped with a versatile mounting pin, often a 5/8″ (16mm) Baby Pin and potentially a 1 1/8″ (28mm) Junior receiver at its base or as an accessory. This industry-standard combination ensures compatibility with a wide range of lighting fixtures, speedlights, grip heads, and accessories, making it a flexible addition to any lighting kit.
Folding Legs for Compact Storage:
The stand features wide-spreading, folding legs that provide excellent stability when deployed and collapse quickly for compact storage and easy transportation. This design is highly practical for photographers and videographers who are frequently on the move.
The Avenger A4041B Aluminum Boom Stand 41 (13.5′, Black) is an invaluable tool for professional lighting control, offering the flexibility to create sophisticated lighting setups with ease and precision.
