The QuickPole 5 Boompole with Straight Mono Cable and Flow-Thru Outlet with Adapter and 3-Pin XLR Connector is a 5-section, carbon-fiber boompole with an internal cable designed to be extremely lightweight and maneuverable, yet rugged enough for everyday use in a wide range of professional news, video, and film applications. The boompole offers a host of user-friendly features allowing the operator to quickly extend the boom to a length of 4.3 to 17.5', securely lock it, and get the mic into optimal positioning for solid, dependable results.

Lightweight 5-Section Telescoping Boom    Length: 4.3 to 17.5'    Rugged Custom-Made Carbon-Fiber Compound    Teflon Sheeting + Silicone-Coated Felts    Smooth Extending & Collapsing    Refined Knurling on Hand Nuts    Locks Open/Closed Securely & Quickly    Anti-Twist Mechanism of Pole Sections    Redesigned Removable Tip    Solder-Free Internal Cable Installation

Series 5 booms combine the best properties of Ambient's QXS and QP series thanks to new tube technology. With a custom-made carbon fiber compound using added UHM fiber layering, the QuickPole S5 boompole becomes as sturdy as the QP 4-segment series but is still as lightweight as the QXS 5-segment series.

The new Teflon sheet plus silicone-lubricated felts make for fast and smooth extending and collapsing of the boompole. The telescoping function works quickly to help you capture sound, while the re-engineered locks give you better grip thanks to the refined knurling and slightly extended length. Finely tuned threading means that the locks open and close securely with just a quarter turn, for lightning speed on set.

The anti-twist mechanism of the pole sections replaces the retention pin with an innovative serration. The lock pieces automatically fall into place when you disassemble and reassemble your pole for cleaning or maintenance—what used to be an easy process has become even easier.

The redesigned tip and bottom end allow for an easy, solder-free cable retrofit. This model is pre-configured with mono internal cabling.

Q: 5. How do I add an internal cable?

A: The Ambient Recording QP550 QuickPole Series 5 Carbon Fiber 5-Section Boompole is designed to be used with an external cable. It cannot be used with an internal cable. You would need a different boompole that would already come fitted with the internal cable. For example, the K-Tek KE-144CCR Avalon Series Aluminum Boompole (B&H # KTKE144CCR) comes with an internal XLR cable.

Q: 6. will it work with Sennheiser mmd 935?

A: No, the HHAII-S is not compatible for use with the Sennheiser MMD 935. The Ambient Recording HHA-SSH Handheld Microphone Adapter (B&H # AMHHASSH) is the correct model to use to convert a Sennheiser MMD 935 mic capsule for use with Sony/Shure/Lectrosonics handheld mic transmitters.

Q: 10. Is the side-exit XLR port suitable for a plug-on wireless transmitter (such as the Sennheiser EW series "SKP"), or will it not attach firmly enough?

A: In theory, yes, you could connect a plug-on transmitter to the side exit XLR output on the K-Tek KE-110CCR Avalon Series Aluminum Boompole with Internal XLR Cable. Ideally, the transmitter would have a locking mechanism for secure connection at the XLR output.
