Manfrotto 025BSL Super Boom

$200.00 /day

The standalone Manfrotto 025BSL technical studio super boom arm, featuring a remote mechanical coaxial cable system for seamless tilt adjustments, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Designed to position lighting fixtures precisely and safely at height on active commercial sets. (Note: This rental package covers the boom arm and counterweight only; stands, wheels, and grip heads are available for rent separately.)

A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.

The Manfrotto 025BSL Super Boom Arm is an industry-standard, highly versatile lighting modification tool designed for professional cinematographers, gaffers, and studio photographers, making it a reliable choice for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Engineered for fast-paced studio tracking where resetting light modifiers manually wastes vital production minutes, this structural aluminum boom incorporates a remote cable-driven mechanical system. This allows assistant crew members or solo creators to adjust the tilt angle of an overhead light panel or strobe safely from the rear handle without needing to lower the entire supporting stand.

When executing an equipment hire for portrait sessions, corporate interview configurations, or commercial product shoots in Hong Kong, maintaining clean framing and adaptive lighting coordinates is essential. Spanning a maximum extended boom length of 2.7 meters, the Super Boom arm lets you float mid-sized continuous LED lights or softboxes directly over your subject with ease. This standalone option is perfect for production teams who already own high-capacity C-Stands, wind-up stands, or rolling combo bases and simply need the legendary mechanical articulation of the Super Boom arm itself.

Applicable Scenarios:

Overhead Key Lighting for Video Interviews: Mounts onto your existing studio stands to float mid-sized continuous LED light panels smoothly above subjects inside office setups in Central while keeping support bases hidden out of frame.
Agile Studio Fashion Lookbooks: Easily adjust overhead hair lights or rim lighting via the rear remote mechanical handle between talent shifts inside production spaces in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan.
Commercial Product Lighting Articulation: Suspends strobe setups or softboxes precisely at steep angles over glossy objects or table configurations, minimizing ambient floor clutter.

Remote Mechanical Coaxial Cable System: Features a rear-mounted handle that lets operators tilt and fine-tune overhead lighting angles safely from ground level.
Agile Standalone Arm Configuration: Rented as a standalone arm assembly, allowing you to pair it flexibly with your own existing heavy-duty studio stands or grip infrastructure.
Dependable Structural Mid-Range Load Profile: Handles a payload capacity of up to 5kg at its maximum 2.7-meter extension, providing excellent support for popular studio fixtures.
Durable Black Anodized Aluminum Build: Structural aluminum engineering minimizes arm flex under load while keeping the total transport footprint highly manageable.
Integrated Tail Counterweight Allocation: Includes a tailored pivoting counterweight block to maintain physical equilibrium and ensure fluid tracking operations.

(Note: This listing covers the complete integrated boom, stand, wheels, and counterweight kit. Additional sandbags, extension cords, and lighting fixtures are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)

Q: Is the light stand, base, or rolling wheels included inside this rental package?
A: No, it is not. This specific rental option is for the Boom Arm Only. It includes the 025BSL boom arm assembly. It is designed for crews who already have heavy-duty stands (like a heavy C-Stand or Combo Stand) on set. If you require the complete kit with the matching stand and wheels included, please look for our Manfrotto Black Aluminum Two Section Cine Stand 008BU listing.
Q: How does the remote tilt system operate when a light is mounted up high?
A: The boom arm features a mechanical cable-driven linkage that runs from the rear positioning handle directly to the front mounting head. By twisting and moving the rear handle at the back of the boom, you can tilt your lighting fixture up or down smoothly from ground level, eliminating the need to lower the stand or climb a ladder during a shoot.
Q: What type of stand do I need to support this boom arm safely?
A: Due to the physical weight of the arm combined with the 7kg counterweight and your lighting fixture, we highly recommend mounting this boom onto a heavy-duty Combo Stand (Steel Stand) or a heavy-duty C-Stand. It should not be used with lightweight aluminum photography stands. Always ensure a heavy sandbag is placed on the base of your stand for maximum stability.
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
