Boom Pole for remote location?
My boom poles are just too damn long to take on location!
Mainly remote tough terrain - Himalayas soon, Tibetan plateau etc. Lots of hand carrying. And also, its best not to show too much professional equipment, if you know what I mean. I do have an assistant with me and I like to use a boom as much as possible. Is there a small boom solution - less than 24 inches folded? cheers! |
K-tek has 7 Klassic poles which are 24" or shorter, shortest is 1'4".
4 graphite Avalon poles under 24" 2 Avalon aluminium poles under 24" http://www.ktekbooms.com/documents/K...logue-0407.pdf that is just one boom brand... |
VDB Audio also has two boom poles less then 24".
Model S: (Closed: 20 ", Extended: 7') Model BB: (Closed: 16 ", Extended: 5' 1") VDB Audio USA - Microphone Boom Poles |
Man for this one I'd want rugged and economical. K-Tek aluminum I'd say.

Jon, did you find a pole?

Hi Jay -
No pole yet. My boom pole is 32 inches min. length, which is OK if I take my tripod bag. On this trip - leaving this Sunday, I cannot take my tripod bag. I wasted a week, because I ordered a K-Tek, which turned out to be 31 inches and not the 24 inches as promised. I just returned it. So I have run out of time I think - maybe a hacksaw to my boom!! |
That's awful. Which one was it?
