A decent boom pole
PMSFX 29.04.2018
I do not work on film sets, therefore cannot say how it performs during location shots, however I use it in field recordings to record sounds that are out of my reach. Firstly it's not the lightest one - which in my opinion is a plus - it has a bit of weight to it and so it feels like I have more control over it. It allows you to feed an XLR cable through the pole - which you might want if you're booming on movie sets - I personally prefer good ol wrap around since the sounds that I'm recording are more unpredictable and I need to be able to undone everything pretty quickly. Locking mechanics is a bit on a tricky side tho. It does work and hold boom in place tho it's not the smartest one. It gets stuck occasionally and will need a bit of force to undone. the bottom bit is padded therefore no need for boom gloves. I think the amount of handling noise depends on a boom operator. My hands are a bit on a bigger side and I didn't experience and handling noise whatsoever. Good product but there's room for improvement

great pole for budget friendly soundie

a great cheap boom pole that has decent reach. Can be a little heavy at times as it is aluminium. Needs cleaning to keep it adjusting smoothly

Nice little helper
dopeNL 31.07.2013
Very stable and adjustable, works well in all situations.
Light to carry around for any type of location shoot.
Good quality buil.

Little note:
Has the ability/function to route the mic cable through the center of the boom.
Helping to eliminate cable chatter/noise when recording. (you can feed a female XLR cable no problem, must remove the XLR Shield though!)

It's Rode!

So far, it's been flawless. I'm using a smallrig clamp to attach my recorder directly on the boompole so it's an all-in-one setup that works pretty well.
