No action is directly required as a result of this SB.<\/p>\n<p>This SB is being issued to affected Alta 6 owners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BACKGROUND<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Alta 6 includes boom retention clips that can be latched to keep the booms neatly folded for storage and transportation. The base material of these retention clips was made using a hard plastic. Freefly has found that the carbon fiber booms can be cracked if they sustain a hard impact with the boom clips. A workaround solution was implemented by wrapping a thick rubber band around the boom in order to absorb energy during hard impacts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCUSSION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A newly designed boom retention clip is now available. The new design includes a soft thermoplastic cap that is over-molded on the boom retention clip. This soft thermoplastic absorbs impact energy and prevents damage to the Alta due to rough handling when the Alta 6 is folded.<\/p>\n<p>The over-molded boom clips will be made available to all Alta 6 owners free of charge along with your next purchase from Freefly. Simply contact Customer Support when making your next purchase, and we will include a set of replacement boom retention clips and associated hardware with your shipment.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/freeflysystems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Boom-Clip-SB.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27782\" src=\"https:\/\/freeflysystems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Boom-Clip-SB.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"324\" height=\"213\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Replacing the boom clips is a preventive action and is optional at the discretion of the customer.<\/p>\n<p>Installation instructions attached below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-22404","kb_article","type-kb_article","status-publish","hentry","support_category-alta","support_category-alta-service-bulletins"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.7 (Yoast SEO v26.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>SB16 Alta 6 REPLACEMENT BOOM CLIPS (2016-10-18) - Freefly Systems<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/freeflysystems.com\/knowledge-base\/sb16-alta-6-replacement-boom-clips-2016-10-18\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SB16 Alta 6 REPLACEMENT BOOM CLIPS (2016-10-18)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This Service Bulletin (SB) is being issued to announce the availability of replacement boom retention clips for Alta 6.
