Rode Boompole

XLR cable can be easily fitted inside without any soldering but it's a shame that it doesn't have internal cable built in. I'll probably try to build one in myself.

Sometimes it's harder to tighten the rings because the tube is turning but if the previous ring is tight enough than it's fine.

The packaging paper tube broke the first day but I suppose it's just for shipping and it's not meant to be used for transport.

Otherwise great peace of kit!

I found after a while the boom pole tended to loose its grip on the extensions , and could get a little squeaky at the top after a year or so using it several times a week.
But still a well worthwhile investment and I would purchase another if I had to.

I can only compare it to the real professional boom poles that are carbon fiber and are very expensive so for the money the Rode Boom poles are well worth it.

It works well and the price was good. Rode is trustworthy.
