Matthews Studio Equipment’s has announced its new Mini Boom Rolling Kit. The Mini Boom Rolling Kit package was designed to speed up the ease of repositioning a light.
The rolling 3-wheeled base with multi-direction locking casters carries a 40” C-Stand riser, and a 5/8” Baby Pin holds the mini boom arm.
The Kit is essentially a combination of four individual pieces. The Runway base, 40” C+ Riser, Mini MatthBoom, and a 10 lb/ 4.5kg Boa Bag. As this kit has four individual components you can also use them all separately if need be.
The low rolling Runway Base (6” / 152mm) supports light fixtures (up to 250 lbs / 113kg) and it is mounted directly to the Posi-V-Lock Junior Receiver. Three non-marking, locking Tente casters provide straight tracking and secure locking. It weighs 20 lbs / 9kg, and it expands to 32″ / 812mm, and folds down to 20” / 508mm.
The 40” C+ Riser is claimed to offer the same strength and reliability as Matthews steel C-stands. It features ergonomic T-handles, steel-reinforced threaded collars, and a knurled 5/8” Baby Pin featuring a 3/8”-16 threaded tip. It extends from 45.5” to 110.5”.
The Mini Matthboom is built of steel to remain rigid, even when loaded with accessories, it can mount on a 5/8″ Baby Pin and telescopes from 45” / 115cm to over 80” / 203cm at full extension, terminating in a 5/8″ pin. Steel reinforced threaded collars provide a solid bite from t-handles while set-screws and V-shaped brass brakes provide 3-points of contact. A rear hook is ready to grab a sandbag for balancing while the knurled baby pin ensures safe mounting.
To help stabilize everything, Matthews includes a 10 lb / 4.5kg Boa Bag. This steel shot bag wraps around the base of any stand, column, brace, T-handle, arm, or boom.
