The QSM Mini Premium Boom Pole from Ambient Recording is handmade layer by layer, out of pre-preg carbon fiber with four segments, Designed to be stiff, yet lightweight and well balanced at the same time. Beside the tubes, there's a screwlock design for better grip when working with gloves. An extension (sold separately) can quickly be added as a 5th segment and gives an extra boost in length for wide, large crowd shots without the weight when not in use. With an outer diameter of 35 mm the extension will also fit into a standard Manfrotto pivot clamp allows therefore stand mounting.
This is a boom so stiff, lightweight and well balanced that the boom op can operate a microphone precisely like a surgeon operating a scalpel, but from an 18 feet distance!
