The Avenger D650 Junior Boom Arm is the studio workhorse for getting big lights out over set safely. It slots into a junior (28 mm / 1-1/8”) receiver on a combo or wind-up stand, gives you a junior-rated boom with a baby (16 mm / 5/8”) pin at the load end, and ships with a 6.7 kg (≈15 lb) counterweight for balance. At 1.63–3.00 m (64.2–118.1”) it covers most tabletop, beauty, overhead key and hair-light setups. Rated to 40 kg at minimum extension and 10 kg at full reach, it’s built from chrome-plated steel to take real production abuse. 

Use it when you need a clean top-down look, to float a softbox over talent, or to park a Fresnel where a stand footprint can’t go. Mount it in a proper combo/wind-up, keep the counterweight opposite the load, sandbag the base, and keep the tilt lock snug—especially outdoors (imperial specs are noted above because cinema land still talks in feet/pounds).

Important notes about using overhead booms:

Choose the stand for the extended load, not the minimum. Keep the boom as level as practical, add an extra sandbag to the stand’s highest leg, and never boom a sail-like modifier outside without a grip watching it. If you need finer reach control, add a second counterweight rather than over-cranking the tilt.
