The Matthews Mini Boom is a compact, rock-solid solution for filmmakers, photographers, and content creators who need precision control of lighting placement. Designed in response to the demand for a smaller boom that won't flex under load, this all-steel Mini Boom extends from 45" (115cm) to over 80" (203cm) and mounts securely on any 5/8" Baby Pin. Its terminating end features a knurled 5/8" pin for baby fixtures and accessories, while a rear hook accommodates a sandbag or shot bag for safe counterbalancing. Engineered for professional reliability, the Mini Boom's thick threaded collars and V-shaped brakes provide a tight, slip-free hold even when supporting multiple accessories like softboxes, egg crates, or diffusion frames. Choose from a durable chrome or low-reflective black finish to match your rig and environment. Note: Always counterbalance your boom to prevent tipping or damage. Use an appropriate stand rated for your total load, including weights and accessories.
