Rode have introduced two new professional carbon fibre boompoles, the Micro Boompole Pro and the Boompole Pro, complementing the company’s already popular range of aluminium poles. The Micro Boompole Pro and Boompole Pro are made primarily of carbon fibre making them extremely lightweight and portable.
The new RØDE Boompole Pro extends to a full 3m (10’) and collapses to 810mm (2’8”) and weighs just 535gm (18oz), . Each of the five pole sections is made entirely from carbon fibre, making it incredibly lightweight while maintaining high levels of strength. The sections are easily extendable with just one hand thanks to an intuitive twist-lock mechanism.
Designed for use with professional shotgun microphones such as the RØDE NTG3 as well as the Blimp windshield system, the Boompole Pro joins RØDE’s popular boom pole range which now consists of five models ranging in size, weight, and construction material.
Alongside this RØDE has also announced the Micro Boompole Pro, a very thin version of the full-size carbon fibre model, which has been optimised for use with the new VideoMicro microphone. Using a unique modular design, the Micro Boompole Pro’s three sections combine to a maximum length of 2.2m (7’2”). Using an industry standard 3/8” thread, these sections can also be used to extend the Boompole Pro.
The Boompole Pro and Micro Boompole Pro are available from Inta Audio now.
