Overview
The KUPO KBS-6060 Boom Base is a heavy steel floor base for supporting a 48 mm outside diameter vertical tube when a light, boom, or overhead support needs a grounded starting point. Its 6 mm steel plate construction, long receiver, twin locking knobs, and U-cut stackable shape make it a practical base for building repeatable floor-mounted lighting positions.
Why It Matters
A boom base is not glamorous, but it decides whether the vertical tube starts from something dependable or from a compromise. KBS-6060 gives the tube a broad steel plate and a proper receiver, so the setup can be moved, stored, and handled as production hardware rather than a one-off shop solution.
Key Features
- 6 mm thick steel plate gives the base the mass and stiffness needed for floor-supported tube work
- Receiver accepts 48 mm outside diameter tube or pipe and uses two knobs to hold the tube firmly
- U-cut plate shape allows multiple bases to stack more neatly for storage and transport
- Large hand slot makes the heavy plate easier to grip when moving it between positions
- Designed to work with optional casters when the base needs to roll before final placement
Height Range & Reach
KBS-6060 is a floor base rather than a telescopic stand, so its useful reach comes from the 48 mm tube installed in the receiver.
- Receiver size: for 48 mm outside diameter tube or pipe
- Plate thickness: 6 mm steel
- Locking: two receiver knobs for tube retention
- Handling: large carry slot built into the base plate
- Storage: U-cut shape supports stacked transport
Applications
Use it for floor-mounted boom arms, vertical tube supports, temporary lighting positions, scenic support points, or studio setups where a weighted steel base is cleaner than a tripod stand.
Compatibility
Designed for 48 mm outside diameter tube or pipe, including KUPO 48 mm tube applications such as KP-OD48-X family tube setups.
