1. An extendable boom conveyor system comprising:
- a first boom element;
a controller;
a movement sensor, wherein the controller, using the movement sensor, detects cyclic movement of a distal end of the first boom element and, in response to the detection, moves the first boom element to reduce the cyclic movement.

Abstract
An extendable boom conveyor system having a first boom element, a controller, and a movement sensor. The controller, using the movement sensor, can detect cyclic movement of a distal end of the first boom element and, in response to the detection, move the first boom element to reduce the cyclic movement. A method performed by an extendible conveyor system can include detecting movement of a distal end of a first boom element, determining whether there is a cyclic movement of the distal end in one or more axes, and moving the first boom element when there is a cyclic movement of the distal end.
