The best boom for my buck.
I am making a video where there will be lots of action and movement, so i'm going to use a Rode Video mic attached to a boom pole and then connected to my GL-2. I have the mic and camera, but the problem is what boom pole to buy? The people holding it will be most likely teenagers so it has to be light. I am also on a budget of $350 for the pole and wires. Any suggestions?

Rode is making a boom specifically for the Videomic for $80. Anyone try that?

K-Tek Avalon in Aluminum specify internal CC. ... OR... You can knock a hundred bucks off that price by NOT getting the internall CC, which you can't use with that mic anyway. If I bought another boom today I'd probably go with the Gitzo 7630 (the 12' 9" carbon fiber pole)... it's around $250. |
Very intresting, Grazie. You make a telescoping pole for fishermen, and it's only $35. Make the same pole for use in video and/or film, and it costs $250. Go figure.

Well, to be fair Jay, the BOOM pole IS made for the film/video industry. On the other hand, the landing net pole is made for catching slippery, fishy, slimy, scaly, cold blooded creatures, which as far as I can tell, are only interested in their next meal and prying and killing those smaller than themselves. Yeah, see the difference Jay?
Grazie |
I'll be the first one to endorse the carbon fiber landing net... so far I can't find one longer the 51" here in the US.
