The Film Devices Microphone Travel Boompole Kit is designed to give traveling on-location recordists everything they need to hold up a boom mic on the go. Made of durable carbon fiber, the pole is lightweight at 1.3 lb. It collapses down to 20", so it will fit in carry-on luggage with ease.

When you're using it, the boompole can extend up to 67". The pole is outfitted with a 1/4"-20 male thread and comes with a 3/8"-16 threaded adapter to fit common microphone shockmounts. Included with the boompole are a boom holder and a grip head.

Q: 1. The BC12 raceway is not wide enough to fit a standard XLR cable. Design flaw or is there a solution for this?

A: Some customers have reported that the cable raceway on the E-Image 4-Section Telescoping Carbon Fiber Microphone Boompole does have a very narrow at the top of the pole. One customer mentioned having filed it to make it wider. You will need to use a cable that has a narrow profile to fit the raceway. Ambient Recording does offer slim XLR cables specifically for internal use with boompoles.

Q: 2. Is the bottom of the pole threaded to accept a 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 screw?

A: There are no thread connections specified for the bottom of the Film Devices Microphone Travel Boompole Kit (Carbon Fiber). The mounting thread on the top of the pole is 1/4"-20 and can be expanded to 3/8"-16 with the included thread adapter.

Q: 3. What is the diameter of the pole?

A: I am sorry but E-Image does not provide that spec. Each of the four sections will be a different diameter and the mounting threads can be either 1/4-20 or 3/8"

Q: 4. Just double checking - do this come ready with plate for camera? I am shipping to my travel destination, so need to ensure I can mount my camera out of the box! :-)

A: Yes, it does.

Q: 5. Will the Shure 25DM mic holder fit on the end of the pole?

A: Yes, the Shure A25DM Mic Stand Adapter is compatible for use with the OZEN SoDi Carbon Fiber Mic Boompole.

Q: 6. Can you still use the mounting screw at the top if you feed a cable through? I don’t see where else the cable would come out if not through the top end.

A: You can't run a cable inside that boom pole. If you could it would have come that way. You have to run it outside the pole. Use Velcro to hold the cable in place so it doesn't bang against the pole.

Q: 7. Does this come with a carry case?

A: I'm sorry, but this Film Devices Microphone Travel Boompole Kit (Carbon Fiber) does not include a carry case. For the pole, I would recommend using this case, which is available via special order: https://bhpho.to/3JL5kFd
