K-Tek KE-89CC Avalon Aluminum Boompole w/ Internal XLR
$26/day$78 / week (3× day)
An aluminium boompole with a coiled XLR cable run inside the tube, terminating in a captive connector at the base. Extends to roughly nine feet and collapses to about a third of that.
When it’s the right call
Reach without noise — the internal XLR means no cable slapping the pole in quiet takes, and 8+ feet of reach keeps the mic close and the operator out of frame.
Where to set it up
Cable exits the base; grip loose, elbows soft, mic just out of frame.
Get the most out of it
- Loose grip = quiet pole; death-grips transmit handling noise
- Extend the fat sections first for rigidity
