AMBIENT BOOM POLES (FISHPOLES) - Carbon Fibre - Cabled

Quickpole Series 5 range is a series of finely engineered, carbon-fibre boompoles with five sections. They are constructed using ‘UHM fibre layering’ to give increased rigidity at longer lengths whilst maintaining a lightweight feel.

Factory installed cables are either coiled or straight and are concealed within the boompole tubing. The cables are terminated with a side entry output with either 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector. Cable kits can also be purchased separately and retrofit as replacements or alternative termination types. Boompoles with a suffix of CCM/CCS have an installed coiled cable with modular outlet and boompoles with a suffix of SCM/SCS have an installed straight cable with flow-through outlet and adapter.

A newly designed collapsing part that employs Teflon sheeting and silicone-lubricated felts allows for a smoother extension and collapse, whilst an ‘anti-twist’ mechanism between the pole sections replaces the retention pin of the 4-series poles.

QXS range is a series of carbon-fibre, 5-section boompoles designed specifically for documentary and ENG booming work. They are constructed using pull-braiding carbon-fibre tubing with 1mm wall thickness, reducing the weight compared to the QP feature series. Screw locking rings and other mechanical parts are machined from aircraft aluminium, and a stainless steel 3/8 inch mounting thread has been designed to ‘survive thousands of microphone changes’.

Wiring options include either mono 3-pin XLR or stereo 5-pin XLR terminations, and the output can be of either ‘flow-through’ sideways outlet, whereby the cable exits the boompole via a slot located on the side of the handle and is terminated with corresponding plug; or ‘bottom’ outlet whereby the output termination is integrated into the end of the boompole handle. The latter option does not have a protruding cable at the handle.

These booms are also available without the pre-installed cable and terminations. See AMBIENT BOOM POLES (FISHPOLES) - Carbon Fibre.

Note (1): without cable and termination.
