I Have two (2) of these guys left.
They are in like new condition and can be shipped via Uship pretty affordably depending on where you are (in the USA that is)
This is a steal and they are as close to new as you can get... If you buy both Ill throw in a can of Mole Richardson spray paint in the color of the cans for any touch up they may need down the road

Considered the "Cadillac" of stands / booms this is a staple on every film / video / photography set.
Easily mount heavy lights or light microphones with ease. Achieving over 8 feet in boom length and 8.5 feet in height you can place that light or mic out of any shot and with locking rollers (casters) you can easily reposition and lock down your boom without the use of any sandbags or extra counter weight.
SEE below for full features and specs.
LOOK at all the photos as they are important parts of the description.
FOLDS down to 5' 11" for storage.
SHIPPING - LOCAL PICKUP IN CHICAGO (local delivery possible for a fee) OR Buyer can arrange for shipping via USHIP or a similar service (should be quite reasonable)
QUESTIONS? - Please ask before purchasing if you have any questions about this item or shipping arrangements!
