Way to go Andy!! What boom pole did you get?

Cheers.

Got the Rode 3M one in the end as I can't go wrong with that as a starter pole at only £49 plus VAT...looks more "pro" than the price for sure - lovely! Just waiting for the PMW-EX3, extra SxS card and the Rode NTG-3 etc. to be delivered in the next week or so now....been drooling over the unboxing pics posted on another thread just now!

By the way, I sent feedback to Sennheiser last week on their website about the lack of information about 100 and 500 series radio mic units being able to communicate OK (see discussion earlier in this thread) but all I got was an "out of office" message and a request to re-post all the information again! B&*^er that, I send them feedback but I'm not doing that twice if there IT systems can't handle storing ideas from customers!

You must've got one of the last Rode poles, they've been outa production for some time. Other things on their plate.

Senn must have a small office, see if they read the discussion here. Let's know what you think of the NTG-3. Mine talked me into a 302 and now thinking about a 722...
watch out it's addictive :)

Cheers.

By the way, the Rode NTG-3 arrived yesterday (along with my EX3). This mic is beautifully engineered - the amazing case is quite something too! Much too early for me to judge it's sound quality but, from the build quality, it's clear Rode have paid attention to every little detail. I have high hopes for it. Looks blumming good on the EX3 too (although for good sound capture it'll rarely be on the cam of course, more likely on that new boom pole!)

Second Hand gear
 
Andy, seeing as you are in the UK, have you looked at the BB List for second hand gear? I've used them lots of times and it's good quality stuff at reasonable prices..and the range of stuff on offer is enormous. Have a look at www.bblist.co.uk
