Multitel 25

It was the worrying lean as the boom extended, something we'd never experienced before coupled with rather too much sway.

My old oil&steel rocked that much even when I bought it 6 years ago.

I think that configuration where there’s no fly jib and the mounting is in the centre of the basket is pretty prone to rocking as you move around in the basket, also even the slightest play in the extensions is amplified. Looks like the rotation turret has a bit of backlash in it too.

I recently changed to a CTE which has lightweight hardox booms.

it flexes quite a bit, found it a bit scary the first few days but don’t really notice now.
