Hey Martin! Does the Cheetah Boom support a decent amount of weight say like a C stand?

Heya,

It's definitely not a c-stand, it will not hold super amounts of weight.

It holds my Rovelight & Fotodiox 48" EZ Pro Octa with a counter weight just fine.

It holds my Rovelight & 47" Brolly Box even better. So it can reliably hold a good 6~8lbs no problem. But I wouldn't try 10+ lbs in the wind.

Very best,

I was asked to take pictures at our local high school prom... here's the before with my wife and I along with some after shots which I posted to IG for the kids to see.

Excellent work!

Thank you so much!

Everything is so well done.
Love the well worn apple box you included.

Very nice work Bryan. Would you mind sharing some info about the background/floor props.

Thanks,
Hatch

I was looking for a backdrop large enough to accommodate small groups and my wife found this 10x10 backdrop from a place called FabDrops.com... I think they sell on Etsy as well, which may be where my wife found it. It's basically jersey type material with a print on it. It doesn't wrinkle very easily which is nice and we steamed it before setting up for pictures. We also purchased an 8x10 roll out wood floor which has a rubber backing on it to keep it from slipping.

Thanks! I actually had them unfinished for quite a while and decided to buy some walnut stain the day before prom and do a quick stain job to them. It definitely helped having them for additional props.

These are great Bryan! I like the style and feel from this setup. Was the background/theme asked for by the Prom committee or did you choose this?

What everybody else says. Great backdrop.

Very nice shots.

I've actually been meaning to find a background like that. I'll have to check it out.

Kick-ass results, Bryan! I love the color palette and dramatic lighting.

Certainly beautiful results. Great background and floor...props, everything worked. Did you use 4 or 5 lights?

They gave me free reign to pick something...

Thanks! It was a 4 light setup... 4 Einstein's triggered with Pocketwizard Mini TT1 and MC2's - 64" PLM with outer diffusion camera left for main, 24x36 gridded softbox camera right for fill and 2 gridded strip boxes for kickers.
