[Black] My boom pole was so shiny I nearly hit talent right in their head because I was so busy looking at my reflection!

[0.59 lb] I really like this part, I have bought a few of them for all of my boom poles. I like it because it is nearly weightless and looks very clean. If I have an issue with the color I could just paint it black. I like using these pieces because I feel confident it won't fail and can be used on any boom pole to provide cable isolation.

[Black] Great little addition to use on your boompole or any other XLR cable. Very strong and does exactly what I need it to.

[0.59 lb] Going from a $50 pole to this one is quite the change. It's great in terms of weight (fully loaded it weighs less than my old pole empty). The coiled cable that it comes with is also really good quality. The right-angle connector at the top is adjustable if you want to change the angle of the pins.


Yes, it does have some handling noise because of the coiled cable inside. However, if you don't swing it like crazy, it doesn't make noise. One thing that I am doing to help alleviate this is to add 2mm thick felt to the cable, spaced out about 1 inch apart when compressed. This is so that I can still be a little rough and have the pole be more forgiving.


Something else that I like about this pole (compared to the pole I had before), is that I can keep that base pole, but change out some parts if I want. For example, if I want to get ride of the internal cabling, I can do that and not make it look funny. One thing that I have in mind as a possible change, would be to change out the right-angle XLR port on the bottom and just use a flow-thru for a straight cable.


The tension rings can be a little slippery when you want to adjust length. For example, when you want to extend the pole, sometimes one of the bigger rings will slip and make the smaller sections rotate a little. For me, if I leave a little more room so I can grip it with my fingers to prevent that, works just fine.


It's not perfect, but it's great compared to what I'm used to and I still really like it for my needs.

[0.59 lb] Seems sorry of silly, but wow this is really a great tool. Great addition to the audio kit. I would buy this again and again. Hopefully I won't have to.

[0.59 lb] Use with both wireless and cables. Perfect add one for better booming.

[0.59 lb] I got this specifically to carry a couple lenses and a few accessories.

Mostly stuff that I don't take everywhere. Gear that's handy to have on some days out but not things that are part of my everyday work.

So my 150-600 Sport in is there, for those days when the 70-200 2.8L isn't long enough, along with my 16-35 2.8L, for low light WA because the 11-24L is only f/ 4, a Canon flash, Better Beamer, extra batteries & the like.

It seems quite sturdy and, so far, I'm really liking the backpack feature. It's like a suspension pack, so there's a good air gap to keep the heat down. Nice

[0.59 lb] For some reason (hard use) the cable between the poll and the rocorder seems to always take the worst of it. This is the only off-the-shelf cable that holds up to the abuse.
In short, buy it. It will save your butt time and time again.

[Black] Use with both cable and wireless connector on the end of my boom. Exactly what I needed it to do.

[Black] The very best cleaning and polish for my boom poles !�
I wish I had this product years ago! �Now that I found it, it will always be part of my tool kit.
