    I sold my old one, and upgrade each piece individually. Basically, I have a 20' RigPro boom with 3 sets of Woods cups, a bunch of extentions, and Matthews studio extensions to allow a lot of flexibility. I went with a Matthews extendable extension to allow me to get the camera to any angle I can ever want. My problem is that I never have enough time to get the cars out.

    i have a manfrotto magic arm to get different angles.hope you did buy from RIGPRO, he is really high for something you can buy at and industrial supply store as far as the boom goes.

    I had a boom arm that was industrial pipe, and it worked, but even with a stabilizer cable, and with a much shorter arm, it still had more flex than the much longer one that I got from Andrew. I just waited until he had a good sale, then picked it up and sold mine. It was definitely worth just getting it from him, so I didn't have to worry about it. I had already upgraded the rest of my kit, so all I needed was the boom arm.
    I made a good stabilizer cable myself, and a much better pull cable also.
    I have a magic arm also, but it is nowhere near as good as my Matthews extension. This is it - gives me tons of extension and its strong. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...Extension.html

    well maybe its because i work at a industrial supply company and i get everything for cost lol. i sell the same pipe that he sells which is 1 1/4 aluminum and probably at a lot lower price. just something to think about if you ever need any other piping.

    I'm good with what I have right now. I would like to get a CF boom later if I was doing enough rig shots.

    I just can't justify it as I don't make enough money off rig shots. I have all of the important gear already, so that's the only thing that I have left that I could upgrade.
