The QuickPole 5 Boompole with Coiled Stereo Cable and Modular Outlet and 5-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 2.6 to 10.2', securely lock it, and get the mic into optimal positioning for solid, dependable results.

Lightweight 5-Section Telescoping Boom    Length: 2.6 to 10.2'    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 stereo internal cabling.

Q: 3. Would RØDE NTG4+ be too heavy for this particular boom pole?

Q: 5. Will this cable work with the Nano Shield system?

A: The Rycote Connbox 4 for Single Shank Stereo Microphones with 5-Pin XLR is specifically for use with a stereo microphone that has a 5-pin XLR output connector and it also has standard size connectors. It may work, but it really will depend on the compatibility of the microphone and the size of the Rycote Nano Shield you will be using. The details for the Nano Shields show a cable with low profile 3-pin XLR connectors.

Q: 9. Whats the benefit of Graphite over Carbon Fiber?

A: Apart from how it looks on the surface, the K-Tek KEG-150CCR Avalon Series Graphite Boompole with Internal Coiled XLR Cable will not provide noticeable benefits over a similar boom pole that is made of carbon fiber. Weight, durability, and strength are not much different between the two materials.
