AMBIENT CARBON FIBRE BOOMS

Maintenance and repair instructions.

Introduction

Although a carbon fibre boom seems to be a simple mechanical device it will pay to get to

know all the details and ways of cleaning, repairing and maintaining the boom. Your

knowledge of the boom’s working will help to give it years of good service, and easy

maintenance will return it to an “as new” feel.

Construction

The booms are constructed of telescoping carbon fibre tubes with a 1mm air gap

between tubes.

The segments have anodised aluminium screwlock fittings and the largest segment has

also an aluminium threaded end to which accessories and a rubber bung can be screwed

or fitted respectively. The 3/8” tip is glued to the thinnest segment.

Tip

The tip is made of stainless steel with a slot for internal cables and and is glued to the

inside of the thin segment. An anodised and coloured collar ring, glued to the outside of

the tube serves as an identification mark ( red QP; blue QL & QX) and gives added strength

at the end of the tube.

Screwlocks

Screwlocks are always the same construction whether on a QP, QX or QL boom. Sizes vary

but the principle and parts are the a same.

There are 5 parts to the screwlock, all are important.

 Starting from the bottom there is the threaded base which is glued

to the carbon fibre tube

 It has a groove at the back for a silicone O ring which seals the mechanism

from dirt

 A fine machine threaded area for the hand nut

 At the top is an concentric taper with a steel pin

 Then the POM slotted dual tapered compression ring

 Finally the hand nut with knurling, QP, or dimples, QX, for tightening the segment

Due to the generously dimensioned threads, handnut and compression ring, the Ambient

screwlock closes

down very tight compared with other manufacturers, and will give years

of service with negligible wear
