Customer reviews about Millenium Boompole L

Decent

WKvc 07.04.2019

If you are just beginning with recording audio for films, this may be your go-to product. Its length of 3 meters is very likely to be more than enough for amateurs and small audio crews.

The big advantage of this boom pole is its price. Since it's not even 20 euros, you save so much money you can spend on a decent shock mount - which is actually required here, since isolation from unwanted vibrations and handling noise is quite bad. However, good shock mount reduces these problems to absolute minimum.

There is some slack between segments, which makes the boom a little bit unstable when its full length is used.

Before making a purchase, you should clarify your needs. If you're a beginner with filmmaking and ENG, go for it. If you've got some experience with such work already, you may be slightly disappointed with it.

OK boompole for that low price

SigitasK 01.02.2018

OK boompole for that low price. Stability is so, so.. Quite noisy for quick operations. I recommend to use it with only half extension and as second additional boompole only. It's best to use it with light mics fixed on stand. Very handy to use it as support room mice holder on stand even with full extend. The kit includes bag. I use it for my primary Ambient pole :-).

Wow, delivers for a fraction of the cost of others

kzadar94 18.10.2022

This is my first boom pole. It is well made with a channel to prevent the sections from twisting. The 5/8 mic mount is riveted to the end and could be tighter (a little JB weld epoxy will fix this). Comes with velcro cable straps, and a nice storage bag. Amazing Value / Price. Were I to use this every day I might want a higher end product. For me this is a good introduction to boom pole use.

Good stability

Modifier 22.10.2019

A quite good and stable boom pole. The only "problem" I have with the boom pole is the handling noise, which I doubt would decrease even if I would have bought a more expensive product. Therefore I would suggest that you dampen the product as much as possible by adding rubber bands or some such.

5/8" Threaded connector is suitable for Rycote Softie-Lite Kit 21, which have 5/8" Thread

Urmas Punane 22.02.2023

The contents of the package were met with my expectations. 5/8" Threaded connector is suitable for Rycote Softie-Lite Kit 21, which have 5/8" Thread. (the usual is 3/8").
I will start using it with a light shotgun Schoeps MiniCMIT. I can fish over the river or at the Zoo. You do not have to climb to the sea to record the shaking of the sea. 5+
EDIT 01.Nov.2023: There are some issues that cannot be left unmentioned:
The holder is nailed to the pole, but it rattles.
When I move quickly, everything rattles, and this darn thing was not secure at all.
Fortunately, I can fix it by using a third party. I might deduct one point from the rating because of this, but it doesn't make the product worse. Because the price is damn good.
Mod is necessary. The end of the holder is cursed, this is a weak place in the construction!
First, it moves and can click by moving boom. Secondly, the rive can break as it happened to me and it is dangerous.
Good if this place was glued and fixed firmly. We made this place around and now I am pleased.
Edit. On 2 January 2024
I have added photos with improvements, where the nail has been replaced, and additionally, that part has been fixed and glued. The result turned out very well!

Best for the price

Atanas P. 08.12.2017

The best possible for this price. Nice and stable. But probably works only with lightweight mic mount and cable . No "plug on" possible in my opinion.
