AMBIENT QP5 550 BOOM POLE 55-185 CM
AMBIENT QP550 BOOM POLE 55-185 CM
QUICKPOLE SERIES 5 - Ambients BEST AND MOST LIGHTWEIGHT BOOM POLE YET!
Boom poles are indispensable to record clear location audio on set and are a key component in every location sound recordist’s and boom operator’s kit (apart from audio recorders and mics). From feature films to streaming series and documentaries, boom poles help capture dialog and sounds in the best quality possible. A good boom pole should stow away cables and give your mic the necessary support.
Ambient work tirelessly to give you the best boom pole experience possible, and the QuickPole has done a great job to support boom operators all over the world. Now, they have revolutionized the QuickPole with the introduction of the new Series 5 QuickPole boom. Why Series 5? First, because it’s a 5-section boom. Second, because it’s built with the 5th generation of our boom pole tubes.
Ambient listened carefully to your feedback and developed this range to satisfy even the pickiest audio pros. Just like its predecessors, the QuickPole S5 is perfectly suited for the professional boom operator and on-location recording: ultra-lightweight, high quality and made from extremely durable material. In short, it’s the most advanced carbon fiber boom pole we’ve ever developed.
Our Series 5 booms combine the best properties of the QXS and the QP series thanks to our exciting new tube technology. We use a custom-made carbon fiber compound with added UHM fiber layering. With this technology, the QuickPole S5 boom pole becomes as sturdy as the QP 4-segments series but is still as lightweight as the QXS 5-segments series. The new construction also allows us to introduce the new QP5150 model, a boom that extends to over 6 meters (20.99 ft): a well-balanced professional boom pole with no ifs, ands, or buts.
EASY EXTENDING AND COLLAPSING
On set, you have to work fast. Our Series 5 QuickPole addresses that with another new key feature: the new Teflon sheet plus a silicone-lubricated felts that make for silky-smooth extending and collapsing of our boom pole. The telescoping function of our pole works so quickly that you’ll be able to capture any sound source. The re-engineered locks give you better grip thanks to the refined knurling and slightly extended length. We have tuned the threading further; with just a quarter turn the locks open and close securely yet lightning fast.
INTERSECTIONAL TWIST PROTECTION
You’ll also love our new anti-twist mechanism of the pole-sections: we replaced the retention pin with an innovative serration. The lock pieces automatically fall into place when you disassemble and reassemble your pole for cleaning or maintenance – what used to be an easy process has become effortless.
Length collapsed: 550 mm (1’ 9’’ ft)
Length extended: 1850mm (6’ 1’’ ft)
Weight: 450g (15.87oz)
