Quickpole range is a series of finely engineered, carbon-fibre, 4-section boompoles. They are constructed using high modulus carbon-fibre tubing with 1.5mm wall thickness, giving increased stiffness at lengths over 5 metres but retaining a good strength-to-weight ratio. Due to the wall thickness and one carbon-fibre crosswinding, the tubes are very strong in the compression mode and can be stood upon without breaking. With very substantial aluminium screw locking rings, extra-thick tubing and stainless steel 3/8 inch mounting thread, these deluxe booms are well up to daily scrambles with the ENG pack, whilst special attention to bushing arrangements helps them generate very little boom noise; ideal for more sophisticated drama and feature shoots.
The booms are available in standard lengths with 30mm outside tubing. A 35mm diameter single piece 1400mm extension, QP120, is available to fit all QP series fishpoles.
The extension has the added advantage that it can be extended like the other segments. The rubber foot is removed, revealing the nylon felt spacer. The extension is fitted like an extra segment, and can be left on the boom.
