Manfrotto 172 3 lbs Counterweight with 2942 Mini Boom

3lbs doesn’t sound like much, but attaching this beauty to the back end of your boom will let you extend a heavy mic all the way out even on that chintzy little Amazon Basics stand that’s always falling over. It’s kind of unbelievable how much stability this adds. It’s well built and the bright orange color will let everyone know that you’re the cool kid who counterweights their booms. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Buena calidad, se ve bastante duradera.

Product well made and does the job, pity the one sent to me had several chips to the orange paint, Had to purchase some orange acrylic paint to make good, that's why only TWO stars. CUSTOMERS EXPECT UNDAMAGED PRODUCTS (NO CHIPPED PAINTWORK)

A great compact counterweight addition to my shooting arsenal.I love the fact that I can move it along the length of some tubing to provide the perfect counterweight positioning. It also makes it easier to hook sandbags onto where you may need additional weight.This basically adjusts to fit nearly any diameter tubing, so it's worked out well for me on my C-stands.I may also order the 10 lbs counterweight.

I now have two of these and love using them to balance mini booms for photography lighting. A good amount of weight in a compact form, much better than dragging around sand bags. These are too small for larger booms or heavy light setups but they are perfect for the smaller setups that I got them for.
