Manfrotto 425B Mega Boom (12′)
The Manfrotto 425B Mega Boom, available at Lightbulb Rentals, stands as the largest boom in the Manfrotto lineup. Designed for precise control, its movements—including pan, tilt, rotation, and telescopic extension—are managed via smooth-operating geared crank handles. This two-section boom extends up to 12 feet, supporting a maximum payload of 13.23 lb at full extension and up to 66.14 lb when fully retracted. It features dual receptors for compatibility with Junior (1 1/8″) and Baby (5/8″) stands.
The boom includes a geared tilt system allowing adjustments from +30 to -40°, ensuring accurate positioning. For added stability, it comes with a dedicated counterbalancing sandbag capable of holding up to 77 lb when filled with sand or shot. Constructed from black zinc steel and black anodized aluminum, the Mega Boom combines durability with robust performance, making it ideal for demanding professional settings where precise positioning and heavy payload capacity are essential.
