5. Walimex pro Per WT-501

With this boom stand from walimex you get a very practical and stable boom stand with telescopic boom arm. It also offers convincing stability during the assembly of medium-heavy equipment. The maximum payload of 5 to 3 kg (depending on the extension length) is achieved by the stable telescopic tripod segments with diameters of 30 and 26 mm. The boom element of the walimex WT-501 can be pulled out from the length of 115 to 215 cm by the 2 installed segments. The built-in mounting adapter offers a comfortable mounting of your equipment on the telescopic arm, because it can be easily removed from the bracket and you can mount your equipment here with a 5/8 inch spigot (16 mm pin) and a 1/4 thread. The walimex pro WT-501 Boom Stand is a cost-effective solution for setting highlights or generally for illumination from above. The range of illumination of your studio flashes is hereby extended by a further dimension. Your equipment is held in the balance by a counterweight weighing 4.4 kg. Spring-loaded boom stand with variable angle adjustment and an extension height of 100 to 410 cm. This boom stand can be adjusted in height from ground level to approx. 410 cm. By the variable angle adjustment of the telescopic arm you can move your equipment in seconds both near the ground and over the heads of your models. The boom is attached to the supplied lamp tripod with the aid of a robust clamp bracket. The boom holder is very solid and has two practical fixing levers. The holder allows the boom to be connected to stand tubes from 22 to 35 mm in diameter. The bracket allows a 360 degree adjustment of the boom and thus offers a simple and very practical solution for your light placement. The spring damping of the central column elements of the tripod facilitates the work and prevents a too fast, uncontrolled lowering of your installed equipment. This additional feature keeps your photo and video equipment such as studio flashes, LED lights, reflectors, backgrounds or softboxes very safe and the light can be precisely aligned. You can create the desired lighting effects at lightning speed, whether you want to set the light from below or create directional light from above for hair and effect lighting.

7. Walimex pro per wall ceiling mount

For studios where some setups are used often or constantly, the fixed installation of a tripod is a good idea. Also, a wall / ceiling tripod like this one is particularly suitable for cramped conditions, since no protruding tripod legs take up space on the floor. The tripod has a load capacity of up to approx. 6 kg. You can extend the 2 cm thick rod between 34 and 54 cm. The 5/8 spigot is equipped with a 1/4 inch threaded connection on one side and a 3/8 inch threaded connection on the other. It can be mounted standing, hanging or even sideways. This gives you a lot of flexibility when setting it up. Included with the tripod are four heavy-duty anchors for concrete and matching mounting screws. Due to the high load capacity of the stand and the resulting relatively large lever, strong forces are generated at the base. Therefore, make sure that your wall is also designed for such loads. Brick walls, for example, are either not suitable for such forces or must be prepared with chemical dowels or liquid dowels. You should therefore obtain information from a building supply store before installation. The same applies to the tensile load for ceiling mounting. The mounting plate of the stand has two holes of different sizes in each of the four corners. This means that there is a choice of different mounting options.
