Product Information

Full details

The Manfrotto 024B Black Light Boom is designed for photographers and videographers needing to extend their lighting setup beyond the confines of a standard light stand. Its primary benefit is providing precise positioning for lights, backlights, or modifiers. A key consideration is its weight capacity, which requires mindful placement of heavier equipment.

FAQs

What is the maximum reach of the Manfrotto 024B Light Boom?

The fully assembled length of the boom arm is 200cm.

Does the Manfrotto 024B come with a light stand?

No, the light stand is not included. This product is a boom arm accessory designed to attach to an existing light stand.

What is the maximum weight this boom can support?

The maximum weight capacity is 3 kg.

What accessories are included with the 024B?

It includes a Manfrotto 124 Pivot Clamp, a counter-weight (G-Peso 023), cable clips, and a locking key.

What material is the boom arm made of?

The boom arm is made of black aluminum, with a steel base.

How do I ensure the boom arm is stable?

Proper setup involves using the included counter-weight to balance the load of your attached light or modifier. Ensure the boom is securely clamped to a stable light stand.

Troubleshooting

Boom arm sags despite counter-weight.

Ensure the counter-weight is positioned as far as possible from the pivot point, or consider if the attached light exceeds the 3 kg maximum capacity. Re-adjust the position of the light and counter-weight for optimal balance.

Clamp does not fit light stand.

Verify the diameter of your light stand shaft. The 024B is designed for 19, 20, 25, or 28mm diameters. Ensure you are using the correct compatible stand.

Pivot clamp is stiff or won't lock.

Check the pivot clamp for any obstructions or debris. Gently clean the moving parts. Ensure the locking knob is fully tightened.

Cable clips are difficult to attach.

The clips are designed to fit snugly. Ensure the cable is positioned correctly before pressing the clip into place. If necessary, gently expand the clip slightly.
