We do not have and booms at our school and I would really like to use some for low sidelight in an upcoming production. Is there any way to build a few of these (no higher than 6ft) from parts from <insert hardware store here?>
ALPS...I see we have another Bostonian on here, where abouts are you from?The best thing to do would be to rent some 50lb bases and Schedule 40 pipes from your local rental house. They will deinfitely have quite a few in stock and they are very cheap to rent for a week or two. Prolly under $100 or $200 depending on how many you need and for how long.
I know ALPS around here rents 50lb bases for $5 a week each, and then pipe for 50 Cents per foot, per week. So if you needed 8 then that would be 8 bases at $5 each for 2 weeks, thats $80. Then 8 6' pipes would be $3 each would be $48 so $128 total for two weeks. You could cut that in half if you only needed them for a week.

I see we have an assumption that all who purchase from ALPS are Bostonians... I live in Southern Rhode Island and order all of my equipment/expendables from there... over ATR Treehoues and High Output
What we have done in a pinch for some floor mounts was take a 16" square of 3/4 ply-wood, drill a 1/2 hole dead center, insert a 4 1/2" long 3/8" carriage bolt and tighten with a nut to counter sink the head of the bolt.
Then on the S4 we removed the clamp and used 2 nuts and appropriate washers to attach the yolk of the fixture to the bolt.
I have used them for ground row use, shin kickers, and to paint walls w/ up light.
What?! How dare Altman abandon a market segment like that?
