The Hague HDV Boom K8 is ideal for cameras up to 4kg. The boom is fastened directly to the video head of any sturdy tripod, in the same way you would attach your camera, and it can be mounted using both 1/4” and 3/8” screws.
On the end of the boom is a camera plate (quick release adaptor shown in video is an optional extra) mounted on a pulley with a control cable coming down the boom to a second pulley at the side of the video head on the tripod. It is this control cable that keeps the camera level as the boom is raised or lowered. Tilting the tripod’s video head controls the camera pulley on the end of the boom, enabling the camera to be tilted up or down.
The radial ball bearings in the pulley ensure a very smooth tilt movement. The boom breaks down into 3 pieces making it quick and simple to set up, standard bar weights (not supplied) are used for counterbalance and there is an adjustable fine trim weight to achieve optimum balance.
The boom can be used at 2 different lengths, at its longest length the camera will go from ground level to over 3.5 metres high and at its shorter length to 2.5 metres high. An optional camera remote can be used to control the camera and you can attach a monitor or tablet to the tripod to view your shots.

The Hague 3 leg clamps help prevent the leg slipping when a Jib/Crane or any other heavy item is mounted to the tripod. The clamps also have a 1/4" threaded mounting hole to attach an articulated arm, on which can be mounted a monitor or other accessory, to the tripod.
The clamp is fastened to the top section of a twin legged tripod and secured just above the tripods leg clamp once the height has been set, this prevents the leg slipping. The bottom section of the tripod is left in its lowest position so that the bottom section cannot move. This then allows the tripod to support more weight without the legs slipping. The tripod must have a mid or floor/ground spreader, or be mounted to a dolly to prevent the legs spreading outwards.
Suitable for Manfrotto Tripod Legs 546 / 545 / 542 / 525 / 520 / 515 / 500. plus other tripods with twin leg top sections that are 90mm apart and are 14-16mm in diameter.
