Can anyone suggest me a boom arm?

Hello,
I am in a market for a boom arm and tripod for my hair light and some top light project.
It will be my first boom arm so I am not looking for a cadillac here.
Just something sturdy that will last me a long while without paying too much.

I was looking at this Adorama boom arm with a tripod which is pretty basic with good review.

Does anyone here have any feedback on this one?

Thank you

To be honest, I am totally biased on this one. I can only recommend the Bowens:

Yes, it is exquisite and very expensive, this is the one that I hope to get just after Xmas.

The one that you have indicated seems like really good value - I just don't have any experience with that particular one.

On the Adorama site the 'Worst Review is pasted here:
"... Works fine for lighter flash units. Plastic parts could break with heavy use. Would not recommend for heavier strobes and large boxes. Good for the price though ..."

Thank you for that suggestion but it's way out of my budget for a boom arm.
I wonder if there's something with the metal connector for a decent price.

Maybe there is an independent company that specialises in providing attachments to lighting stands, c-stands, tripods and other studio-based equipment.

Get up and running with the Adorama kit then hunt around for additional or replacement attachments.

I am sure others will advise alternatives too.

what did you end up getting?
