Neewer ST-CB 297cm Photography Boom Arm Light Stand
Product Description
The NEEWER ST-CB is a versatile and innovative 2-in-1 light stand with a built-in, non-detachable boom arm. This dual functionality offers remarkable flexibility, allowing you to use it as a standard light stand for portraits or to easily convert it into a boom for overhead or rim lighting. Its durable black anodised aluminium alloy construction is resistant to scratches and corrosion, ensuring it can withstand the rigours of both indoor studio work and outdoor location shoots.
This stand is perfect for photographers and videographers who need to achieve professional lighting setups in small or crowded spaces. It's an excellent choice for portrait photographers who need to position a light above or behind their subject for dramatic effects, or for product photographers doing flat lay photography. The stand’s ability to function as both a standard light stand and a boom arm makes it a great space-saver for anyone with a compact studio setup or a minimal kit.
Achieving overhead or dramatic lighting angles can be a significant challenge with a standard light stand. It often requires a separate boom arm, grip heads, and a counterweight, leading to a complex and cumbersome setup that is difficult to adjust and transport. The problem is having to manage multiple pieces of equipment to achieve a simple lighting effect, which can slow down a shoot and create unnecessary clutter.
The NEEWER ST-CB solves these problems by integrating the boom arm directly into the stand. This all-in-one design eliminates the need for extra accessories and makes setup quick and easy. You can adjust the stand's height from 110.5cm to 297cm and extend the boom arm from 26cm to 115cm, giving you a huge range of positioning options. The stand also includes a spring-cushion system to protect your equipment from accidental drops, and an empty sandbag for counterbalancing, so you can confidently position even your heaviest lights exactly where you need them.

- 1 x Light Stand with Boom Arm
- 1 x Sandbag (Empty)

Common Dos and Don'ts
✓ Before using the boom arm, fill the included sandbag with sand, gravel, or another heavy material. This counterweight is crucial for safety and stability, especially with a heavy light fixture.
✓ When using the boom arm, ensure the rear section is extended at least 50cm for maximum stability. This helps balance the weight and prevents the stand from tipping over.
✗ Don't ignore the counterweight. The stand will not be stable without it when the boom arm is extended and holding a light.
✗ Don't try to detach the boom arm. It is a permanent part of the stand's design and trying to remove it could cause damage.
