Description
The Digitek DBA 555 Boom Arm is a lightweight, professional-grade lighting accessory designed to give photographers and videographers precise overhead and side-angle lighting control. Built with a durable aluminum body, it extends to a maximum reach of 5.57ft (67 inches), making it ideal for overhead lighting, side lighting, and full studio setups where a standard light stand alone isn’t enough.
The boom arm features a 4-section design with intelligently tiered load capacity — supporting up to 5kg when using 2 sections, 2kg with 3 sections extended, and 1kg at full 4-section extension — so you can balance reach and stability based on your specific lighting equipment. A built-in 360° rotation lock lets you fix the arm at any angle, giving you full creative control for product shoots, portraits, and video recordings.
Compatible with a dual 1/4″ and 3/8″ screw interface, the DBA 555 works seamlessly with LED video lights, softboxes, fabric lights, flash units, and continuous lighting gear. At just 740g, it’s remarkably easy to mount, carry, and reposition between shoots, making it a practical addition to any home studio or professional lighting kit.
