The Long Boom has a dual purpose. It may be used as a boom to hang a lighting fixture or as a microphone boom by using the appropriate lamp mount or microphone attachments and microphone hangers. When an extra long reach is needed the Long Moleboom will do the job with stability and ease. Boom arm may be horizontally rotated 360° with the base locked in a stationary position. The vertical riser has an air brake for lowering boom arm. The stand folds for transportation.
