Paul C. Buff, Inc. Technical Forum

Hello all,
I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on a boom product to use to hold the Paul Buff beauty dish. Also, which light stand is recommended? Thanks!

I cannot make a specific recommendation, but most full size booms will be fine. Be sure to get one with a sufficient counter weight, or the ability to use a sandbag.

Also, if you use our stands, be sure to get 13' stands and get a boom that clamps to the column rather than sit atop the brass stud.

Regardless of the boom you purchase, you may want to get a drop down pin. This changes the axis the light mounts to, and prevents the torque of the soft box from rotating the light down.

Thank you for the great info!!
