Flashpoint Pro Air Cushioned Heavy Duty Boom Light Stand - 13'

Light is the heart of photography. Using light effectively separates photos from snapshots. If you want to start building your portrait lighting capabilities, sooner or later, you will need to be able to insert key lights and light from above. This set -up is useful and essential. Plus it won't "break the bank".

The Flashpoint Pro Air Cushoned Heavy Duty Boom Light Stand (13') works well with a small LED light attached to create a glowing hair-outline for an interview subject. It also improves the subjects separation from the background. It's best to use counterweights such as sand in the provided bags, or anything that can hang from the provided carabiner. Ensure one leg is placed directly beneath and parallel to the boom arm, and place sand bags or heavy objects on the other base legs to help prevent tipping. With a perfect counter-weight attached to the boom, you shouldn't have to put much on the legs, but it's always a good idea for safety on you set. Use barn doors or black Rosco Cinefoil with gaffers tape to focus your light on the subject. If done right, this stand is great for composing professionally lit interviews!
