Boom Poles

The age old question, to have a cable or not? Internal or external? Curly or straight?
Regrettably this is one area we really can’t advise on, as experience dictates that this is wholly based on the preferences of the individual.

What we can say is that fortunately this has been long recognised by the manufacturers and many of the top brands offer the cables separately as a retrofit option.

Boom Pole care and maintenance is essential for ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Regular inspection should be habitual, along with checking components such as screws, collars and grips. Along with good protection and storage practices. Bags and cases are available from our shop!

Many of the leading boom pole manufacturers provide maintenance kits, spare parts and guides for cleaning and general maintenance. Please contact us for more information should you need any help.

We have a large range of accessories in our Raycom shop. Such as shock mounts, windshields and cables. Extensions increase the pole’s reach for wider shots.

Shorter boom poles are ideal for interviews, documentaries, and confined spaces, while longer poles provide extra reach for drama, broadcast, and larger productions. Choosing the right length depends on the type of work you do and the environments you work in.

Absolutely. Whether you’re looking for your first boom pole or upgrading to a new model, our team can recommend the best option for your microphone, workflow, and production requirements.
