Instructions for use
Intended use
The boom is designed to be used for photo and video shooting in conjun-
ction with sturdy lamp tripods (e.g. item 12138 Walimex pro WT-806 Lamp
Tripod, 17826 Walimex pro Extreme 20 Lamp Tripod, 23269 Walimex pro
Lamp Tripod 270 cm Heavy Duty). The product is suitable for people with
experience in photo studio equipment.
Mounting the boom on the tripod
The boom (1), also known as gallows, is attached to the tripod using a clam-
ping adapter (2).
The clamping adapter consists of four elements that are held together by an
axle. Two of the elements surround the center column of the tripod or the
boom. The clamping lever (3) is used to press these elements together and
thus secure them against rotation. In addition, the toothing of the rosette in
the center allows the setting angle of the boom to be set in an absolutely
twist-proof manner.
Involve a second person for the assembly.
As preparation, set up your tripod on level ground and extend the center
column of the tripod to the necessary height. The clamping adapter can only
be attached to tripod centers with a diameter of 22-35 mm. To mount the
clamping adapter on the tripod, first loosen the clamping lever (3) comple-
tely so that the outer element of the clamping adapter is loose. Now hold
the clamping adapter with the matching recess against the center column
and remount the loose element of the clamping adapter. Make sure to select
the recess of the same size. Tighten the clamping adapter. If the clamp does
not close tightly, open the second clamping lever a little and then tighten
the first clamping lever again. Test the tight fit of the clamp on the center
column. If the clamp does not fit tightly, select a smaller recess.
Do not start mounting the boom until the clamp adapter is firmly mounted
on the center column.
Now open the second clamp so far that the boom can be pushed into the
large recess. Move the boom until the clamping adapter is in the center of
the boom and hold it securely. Rotate the boom to the desired angle. Make
