Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Only took a few minutes to unscrew the ends, drop the cable through and then reassemble. Adding a cable requires some soldering, but the design is great. I really wish the cord was able to feed through the pole or had a cord extension/connector built ... Read More

Bang-for-your-buck product. Works great. Worked perfectly when filming our commercial. Everything integrates well!

It will mainly be used with my new tascam dr-100 portable digital recorder and external xlr mics, mostly rode nt-4 stereo and a sennheiser mkh 40. Holds the mic well.

Sony dsc-hx9v attached to the rode boom makes for spectacular shots. Small sensor offers more insurance of sharp focus. Camera outputs video via hdmi while recording. I plan to buy an nex-7 soon as it becomes available.

Cons

If you are going to spend much time booming, this is heavy and will make the experience miserable. These twist locks are a real pain and do not feel solid.

Packaging/appearance

Otherwise i am extremely impressed with the build quality it extends easily and closes easily and the packaging is great

Competitiveness

I have a smallhd dp6 monitor which i attached to the rode boom using a manfrotto magic arm and a manfrotto super clamp

I used it with a rode ntg2 and rode sm3 shockmount

My other pole is a gitzo but not carbon fiber

This pole would be fine on a pro shoot and for about 200 less than a comparatively priced pole from a pro company
