Journey to the Pole

Journey to the Pole

08/28/2015

Looking for the right boom pole? Here's a convenient comparison chart to help. For simplicity's sake, these are comparing the uncabled versions of each pole, but the internal cabling options are listed for each. Additional cost and weight for an internally cabled pole is not reflected in this chart.

If you dig charts, here's another handy one that will tell you which Pelican cases your boom pole will fit into.

(And, hey, if anything in the K-Tek line particularly moves you, they're all discounted until Monday, August 31st!)
