Recommendations

Use the empty sandbag supplied to add weight appropriate to the mounted equipment; ensure the sandbag is securely fastened before operating the boom. For heavier heads or fixtures, position the legs wider and keep the payload within the manufacturer’s recommended limits. Inspect locking knobs and joints periodically for wear and tighten as necessary.
