Q&A’s
What is the sizeof this when fully folded?
- The folded height of this boom stand is approximately 119cm.
What is the best material to use to fill the Sandbag with?
- Pixapro Sandbags can be filled with a wide variety of different material, including Sand or Gravel, which you can pick up from most DIY stores or Builders merchants (we recommend placing the sand or gravel in a small plastic bag before putting it into the sandbag). Some people also use steel ball bearings to fill their sandbags with.
Can the boom arm be removed from the stand, so if I wanted my assistant to hand-hold a light for a while?
- Unfortunately the boom for this stand cannot be removed, this is due to the boom being fixed to the stand.
I seem to be missing a part or can't find the boom, am I doing something wrong?
The 2in1 boom has been designed to sit the boom inside the stand when not in use, In order to setup the boom you will need to remove this from the central column. To do this, you will first need to loosen the knob and horseshoe and extend or pull the boom all the way out until you can no longer. You should see a small space in between the stand and the central column when extended.
From here you can then rotate the boom on the horseshoe connection and then lock it back in place.

PIXAPRO 2in1 Reclined Boom Stand
COOL THANKS VERY MUTCH ,5555
PIXAPRO 2in1 Reclined Boom Stand
The fact that you can use this as a boom as well as a regular light stand is what drew me to it. Construction appears to be very sturdy and even though I haven't used it in anger yet, I'm confident this will do the job and then some. Highly recommended.
PIXAPRO 2in1 Reclined Boom Stand
Strong enough for me. I even used it in boom-stand condition with a LED 100D and a softbox 90cm attached without the need of a counterweight (bag provided but not the weight itself).
PIXAPRO 2in1 Reclined Boom Stand
Very happy with this purchase. Very good quality components. Very good price. Love how you can use it as a regular stand when don't need the boom and it packs away neatly. Highly recommended.
Top notch!
Superb piece of kit. Efficient service.
