Matthews Mini Boom Rolling Kit

After understanding the unique needs of every photo shoot, it becomes clear that having the right tools is crucial. The Matthews Mini Boom Rolling Kit is designed to meet these needs, providing a seamless and efficient lighting setup. This kit allows you to effortlessly reposition your Key Light throughout your shoot, eliminating the struggle with gear and helping maintain your creative flow.

The Mini Boom, a core component of this kit, was designed in response to the growing demand for a sturdy and reliable boom that won't bend under the weight of various accessories such as small lighting fixtures, strobes, light banks, and egg crates. Crafted entirely from steel, the Mini Boom mounts on a 5/8" Baby Pin and extends over 80" (203cm), ending in a 5/8" pin. For optimal balance, a hook is provided at the rear end of the boom to hold a sandbag. The use of a Baby Drop Down #427804 ensures that your lighting instrument remains level.

Key features of the Mini Boom include a knurled baby pin for secure mounting, V-shaped brass brakes for strong 3-point contact, thick threaded collars for a solid bite from t-handles and set screws, and a rear-mounted hook for sandbag counterbalancing.

The kit also includes a Runway Base, a low rolling stand base designed to work with the Magic Stand. However, it's versatile enough to handle any large light fixture mounted directly into its Posi-V-Lock Junior Receiver. The Runway Base features straight tracking, multi-direction locking, non-marking Tented casters, and the best braking casters available. Made from steel, not plastic, it promises years of durable service.

Finally, the kit comes with a BoaBag, a new concept from Matthews. This versatile steel shot bag can quickly wrap around the base of any stand, column, brace, T-handle, arm, or boom, adding stability and flexibility to your setup.

In summary, the Matthews Mini Boom Rolling Kit is a versatile, high-quality, and reliable solution for your lighting needs, designed to make your photo shoots as efficient and effortless as possible.
