A prestigious award well deserved; MAX will support lighting fixtures up to 175 pounds (80kg) allowing you to place almost any lighting almost anywhere on set - back lights, over set walls and in places where lifts are restricted such as roof tops, balconies, etc. MAX will support a 75lb (34kg) light fixture up to 17.5ft (533cm) on the horizontal and over 20ft (609cm) in elevation. MAX's horizontal plane can be adjusted from 7-10ft (213-305cm) and at an extension of 8ft (244cm) has a capacity of 175lbs (80kg). MAX can be counterbalanced with either shot or sand bags and by using standard weight plates MAX can be moved around easily on flat, level surfaces.

This is a great set at a great price. The ball head is strong and doesn't slip from vibration. I have tested it in combination with the suction mount on my car window and it work very well. The baby pin mount is great for use on c-stands and clamps, etc.
Hefty and wonderful. Seats into the mafer in a positive and secure way sits straight up and down when clamped to a stand. And the perfect length for my needs. Thanks!
This is everything we wanted. Everything we needed. Thank you.
These BoaBags are perfect for counter-balance weights. They're perfect for wrapping around the back end of an arm to offset the weight of a small cantilevered light. With a quick wrap, they stay securely in place. While the 10 lb. bag can do the job of securing a small light stand, these are really designed (and priced) for the more precise job that calls for smaller weight increments. They're a lovely grip invention that stand up to the professional rigors of the job. Well done!
Look, Matthelinis are not quite Cardies for quality of build. The finish is a bit rough, although the threads are silky smooth. But they are officially licensed by Cardellini, and they do the job. This deal is ridiculously good, the Grip head is basically free. Great starter kit but I needed to fill in some gaps and this was too good to pass up.
