Product Description

The Neewer UA028 6 kg Counterweight with Lock Lever is a robust and versatile accessory designed to elevate the stability of your photography and videography setups. Crafted from durable iron with a rubber coating, this counterweight ensures reliable performance and enhanced grip, making it an ideal replacement for traditional sandbags. Its adjustable clamp and long locking lever provide secure and effortless attachment, offering photographers and videographers a practical solution for balancing heavy equipment in both studio and on-location shoots.

This counterweight is perfect for professional photographers, videographers, lighting technicians, and content creators who require dependable stability for their C stands, boom arms, and light stands. Whether you’re setting up strobe monolights, ring lights, softboxes, or reflectors for a commercial shoot, film production, or studio session, the UA028 delivers the balance needed to protect your valuable gear and achieve precise setups.

It addresses common challenges such as equipment instability, cumbersome sandbag alternatives, and insecure mounting. Unbalanced stands or arms can tip, risking damage to expensive equipment, while sandbags can be bulky and difficult to adjust. The Neewer UA028 overcomes these issues with its compact, all-metal design, adjustable clamp, and easy-to-use locking lever, ensuring your setup remains stable and your workflow stays efficient.

Weighing 6 kg (13.2 lb), the UA028 counterweight is compact yet heavy-duty, with a rubber coating that enhances grip and protects the attached stand or arm from scratches. Its adjustable clamp, ranging from 25 mm to 35 mm (1" to 1.4"), fits a variety of equipment, including C stands, boom arms, grip arms, and light stands. The extended locking lever allows for quick and secure fastening or loosening, preventing accidental slipping even under heavy loads. This counterweight’s wide compatibility and sturdy construction make it a reliable choice for achieving balanced, professional-grade lighting setups in any shooting environment.

Common Dos and Don'ts

Position the counterweight on the stand or arm to achieve optimal balance, then secure it with the locking lever.

Ensure the clamp is adjusted to fit the equipment’s diameter (25 mm to 35 mm) for a secure connection.

Clean the rubber coating and iron surface regularly to maintain grip and prevent debris buildup.

Store in a dry environment to preserve the iron’s durability and rubber coating’s integrity.

 

Do not exceed the load capacity of the attached stand or arm to avoid tipping or damage.

Avoid forcing the clamp onto equipment outside the 25 mm to 35 mm range, as this may cause instability.

Do not overtighten the locking lever, as this may damage the clamp or equipment.

Avoid exposing the counterweight to extreme moisture or corrosive environments to prevent potential damage to the iron.
