- The humble boom arm. It may not be the most exciting or cutting-edge bit of lighting kit around but a boom arm can open up new lighting options, save you time in editing, and can even be an extra pair of hands in the studio. All in all boom arms and grip arms are essential bits of kit.
In this live stream, Gavin will take you through the many ways you might want to use a boom arm in a small home studio. He’ll cover how to safely set up your boom arm, some lighting ideas that make maximum use of a boom or grip arm, and a few other uses that might not be immediately obvious!
In this live stream, Gavin will take you through as many ways to use boom and grips arms as he can squeeze into an hour. Join the conversation, get your questions answered live, and help steer the session or just watch along and enjoy.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!
This has been one of the most useful lives I’ve ever watched. I’ve done a lot of studio photography with overhead lighting without ever thinking to use an actual heavy duty boom arm. There’s so much to learn just by watching other pros work. Even little things like leaving a little rug on the floor to weigh down your backdrops or give things a different look, or grabbing a little gravel for your sandbag or bucket can be really useful. Witnessing someone’s workflow and problem solving in real time can teach you so much. Thanks for the video guys!
I always love watching Gavin teach. Alway learn something new.
Yep, agree. He has a great on-screen persona and makes it easy to learn. I learned one new trick today, apart from the others) and that’s the length of timber pulling down on the cloth backdrop. I shall do the same.
I've found the best thing in "sand" bags is river pebbles from a dollar store ... cheap, heavy and don't spread sand everywhere if they leak
I put the pebbles in large ziplock bags, then into the sandbag.
Nice idea
Most valuable segment! One of the most overlooked areas of photography is studio equipment and its practical application to various tasks. This was excellent, a lot was covered in a short period of time - congratulations are in order.
Excellent as always Gavin! I love Katie's input as a model. I love how you just let it all play out.
Excellent Gavin and team! Thank you for working in lighting, posing, metering and humor in a Boom Arm Basics video.
Gavin your an amazing professional photographer and teacher. Very educational, and entertaining. Thanks so much for sharing Gavin and Adorama.
Many thanks for a great tutorial.
Sorry that the last few minutes stopped.
GOD bless you.
I've been following you for years. I love how you handle your shoots. You are very real and I like that.
Thanks, Gavin and Katie. I missed this show live, but catching up now.
Great live stream. Great idea using gravel in a sandbag. Thanks Gavin, Katie, Sam and Freya 😎👍🇨🇦
As usual, great content, useful info that I can convert to my work in my small studio. Huge compliment to Katie, such intuitive, natural flow of Posing. Blew me away. Thank you & Greets from Germany

Love it! Also, Gavin’s the reason I’ve now got my own portable studio flash set up and experimenting on studio shoots (I’m mainly macro bugs 😁)
Brilliant as always. Always enjoyable and always learn from you.
My lord!! Her poses are absolutely amazing!! These are poses I wish my models could/would use and flow seamlessly. Oh well...gotta find right model.
This was brilliant. I thought it might be boring. NOT! Thank you

Sorry I missed the original airing, but this was informative. Kudos to the team and new model Katie. Thanks Gavin.
Hi Gavin. Always love your videos have been following and watching for a very long time. Your videos have inspired me to do more themed shoots similar to your style. Can't wait for your next one and always you do a great job in teaching on studio photography. Love to join a live stream but unfortunately there is a big time difference because I am in Australia so I have to watch the recorded live stream videos. Thank you from Melbourne, Australia.
You're awesome, Gavin!
Top quality as always Gavin and team, well done all, can't wait for the next one.
Hello from Tampa, Florida! Really enjoyed your session, production team, and model. Be well and stay safe.

Good evening from Australia.
More Katie please. Wonderful model
All of your models are stunning - lucky guy ;)
Watching from srilanka ❤
Love the video you always do a great job
great live video!! Freya is FIRE!!
First thing that struck me about Katie (other than she was terrific for this) was that she was a dancer. Was not surprised to hear her mention it. Would have liked a bit more instruction about the booms/grip arms instead of all the shoots (i.e. gradually heavier lights (200, 300, 400, 600), different modifiers, and different positions (i.e. beauty dish, soft box) and problem with using them as well. Thanks for the live stream review.
Good choice!
It's really work!
My best Photo teacher ever
You left the room light on, so room ambient lights wouldn’t affect a strobe light shoot?
I use ziplock bags and fill those with sand and then put those into the sandbags so they don’t leak. Then sand is the best thing to use in sandbags. Dense, flexible and cheap.
I am interested on a light stand for dance shooting what is the most appropriate and one to street photography portrait?
Gavin...I often wonder why I don't see photographers who use AD 400's or 600's, use the optional flash extension? With that extension... the heavy part of the flash unit could be placed on the lower part of the light stand (with a super clamp) and one would not have all that weight up high. I would think that it would be much more stable.
So perfect
I filled Sandwich bags with sand and then inserted into the bag....less mess and hastle
Good tip 👍
Hi Gavin! Long time subscriber. Gone are the days of the Canon 6D!! Great video as always!! I know you mentioned this before but, what is the model of your fog machine? You didn’t list it in your equipment used on this video list.
Cheers!!
Cesar L.
Chauvet Hurricane 1200. He mentioned it in an old video and how long he's had it without problem which is why I ended up getting the same one. Pretty much every model of fog machine I researched had people saying every model is unreliable so I went with Gavins (which also had people saying unreliable) but so far I haven't had any issues. I think it really boils down to improper care and usage.
My only gripe actually is that it doesn't have a wireless remote. I believe you can get one however. BUT the wire for the remote is incredible long so I'm really just being whiny even tho I know i would lose the remote after two or three shoots anyway.
Watching from Oklahoma city.
hey gavin hoey im from india where are you from and i am very impressed with your videos
I'm watching the recording from Kansas City Missouri USA.
someone early on asked about what you put in your sandbags. As you said, sand isn't the best. I personally use water bottles.
Hello from Jakarta Indonesia

What lens you were using, and I see you have the house lights on ,

Greetings from Belgium
I have a question please
I have a 130cm neewer c stand with wheels I want to buy the FS150 led light and lantern
Can anyone tell me please what boom arm to get that will fit the light as I want it overhead on a podcast table looking down
Great list almost used all the hacks.. but pr pro
HI Gavin, another great video (keep missing it live though). Quick random question - what size is your studio roughly? It's hard to judge from the camera angles.
Hello, how did you attach the board on the bottom of the fabric? Do you stretch it?
Hi Gavin, have the same boom arm but with my Ad300 and a softbox it keeps twisting and doesn't stay where i put it, any suggestions how i can fix this??
How do you balance your gels ?
nice work buddy
what heavy duty boom arm are you using in this video? It's not the Avenger chrome mini that you link to.
if someone is new to "model photography", how can find a model to shootin with, without a portfolio etc??
what focal length is used for the full length shoot
Is a c stand the same as a microphone stand?
Marco from Peru
Katies Cool!
Morning from indonesia
Hello. I noticed that somebody asked about white balance. You answered without comment. Does it mean that you care about it? In my workflow I never use JPG as output format in my camera. I always use RAWs. This allows me not to care about setting of WB. After buying camera I always set WB to 5400K and never change. Any WB corrections I do is done in postprocessing. If color must be represented perfectly, I use xRite Color Checker Passport because camera's sensor is far from to be linear. So setting WB doesn't make sense in my opinion, except when you make pictures in JPG format. In this case you must put responsibility for final result to your camera, This is extremely risky.
Dang, I missed Gavin's live show....

What mm lens are you shooting with now?
Hi Victor. I generally use a Olympus (OM System) 12-40mm lenses which equates to a 24-80mm lens if you work in full frame 35mm format.
tennis ball for the end of the arm
