Overview
The Gibraltar Light Weight Boom Cymbal Stand (Model 4709) is engineered specifically for the mobile drummer who requires a balance of stability and portability. As one of Gibraltar’s most popular boom stands, it eliminates the bulk of heavy-duty hardware without sacrificing the reliability needed for live performances. This stand provides the flexibility of a boom arm with a streamlined design, making it an essential tool for gigging musicians who frequently transport their gear.
Key Details
- Double Braced Tripod: Provides enhanced stability and a secure footprint to prevent tipping during aggressive playing.
- Optimized Portability: Lightweight construction specifically designed to reduce load-in and load-out fatigue for touring drummers.
- Precision Height Adjustment: Features a hinged height adjustment system equipped with a nylon collar insert for smooth, quiet operation.
- Advanced Tilter System: Includes a single-point hideaway boom tilter and a geared cymbal tilter for precise angle locking and easy storage.
- Versatile Dimensions: Adjustable height range from 30 inches to 57 inches, utilizing 5/8-inch to 3/4-inch diameter tubing.
Use Cases
- Gigging and Touring: Ideal for drummers playing multiple venues who need to minimize the weight of their hardware kit.
- Compact Stage Setups: The boom arm allows for flexible cymbal placement in tight spaces where a straight stand would be obstructive.
- Rehearsal Spaces: A great secondary stand for auxiliary cymbals or splashes that require quick setup and teardown.
Installation
Setup is straightforward and tool-free for most adjustments. Begin by expanding the double-braced tripod legs to the desired width for maximum stability. Use the hinged height adjustment to set the vertical position, then deploy the hideaway boom arm. Secure your cymbal using the geared tilter, tightening the wing nuts to lock the angle and height in place.
Compatibility
This stand is compatible with standard cymbal felts and wing nuts. It is designed to hold a wide variety of crash, ride, or effect cymbals, provided they fit within the weight capacity of a lightweight boom design.
