Manfrotto Combi Boom

Manfrotto Combi Boom

Maximum load with Combi Boom at max extension is said to be 2 kg, so it should be enough for light flash (like Quadra, AcuteB or Pro-7B/Pro-B head) and standard reflector. During last studio shoot I wanted to test can it hold the advertised 2 kg.

Pro-7B head with beauty dish & counterweight (comes with stand) worked ok. I wouldn't put much more weight for this boom, so Avenger boom & other sturdier booms are still recommended for bigger and heavier light modifiers. Nice stand and for speedlight use the boom should work with even small softboxes (Ezy & clones as examples).
