QuickPole Series 5 - Cabled Boom Pole, Bottom Outlet

QuickPole Series 5 – cabled carbon fiber boom pole with bottom cable outlet

Whether feature film, streaming series or documentary: alongside audio recorders and microphones, the boom pole is part of the basic toolkit of every sound recordist and boom operator. QuickPoles have been in use for this all over the world for decades.

Series 5 – on the one hand, that stands for the design with five sections, which combine stability and mobility, and on the other hand for the fifth edition of our boom pole. QuickPoles are known for staying super stable even when fully extended and with a heavy windshield: only a little flex and no wobbling after a quick move.

Key Features

Clever cabling

This QuickPole comes with internal cabling already installed – with a coiled cable, in mono (XLR 3-pin) or stereo (XLR 5-pin). The cable outlet is located in the bottom of the end piece. A removable tip and the plug-in end piece make replacing the cable child's play – no soldering required: simply feed the pre-assembled cable through the boom pole from the top and plug it in at the rear end, done.

Special carbon fiber compound

For the Series 5, we use our custom-developed carbon fiber compound with an additional layer of UHM fibers. Thanks to this technology, the QuickPole S5 is as sturdy as the QP 4-section series and yet lighter than the QXS 5-section series.

Easy extending and collapsing

On set, you have to work fast. With a low-maintenance, durable counter bearing made of Teflon, felt and silicone lubricant, the tubes of the boom pole are particularly easy to extend and collapse. Additional safety: even when a lock is loose, the sections do not retract by themselves but stay where they are.

Longer handle sleeves

The longer handle sleeves of the locks give you a secure grip with their finely knurled surface. We have also further optimized the thread pitch and the anti-twist mechanism: instead of a steel pin, we now use a high-precision Hirth serration, as otherwise known from the joints of camera rigs. The locks find their position almost by themselves, and with just a quarter turn the boom pole is locked rock-solid.

Easy to maintain

For us, the durability of our QuickPoles also means that you can maintain the boom pole yourself. That is why we developed the QuickPole Maintenance Kit.

Accessories

We also offer the cables and the end piece separately.

To transport your boom pole safely, we offer the Ambient Boom Case and boom pole bags. Other accessories such as the QuickLok, clamps and adapters are also available from us.
