Key Features of the QT Range
- Rigid, light and strong, they benefit from the most recent technologies in carbon fibre winding and the experience of thirty-five successful years of supplying the most demanding operators.
- Greater length from reduced size. The design in six sections offers an increased length and greater rigidity when expanded, while reducing the collapsed size. This effectively limits the range to six models that still cover all the varied needs of users by making easier the travel and storage.
- Reduced hand noise is achieved by the polished surface of the outer tube, also providing better grip. The five extendable sections come in a dark, non-reflective black finish.
- Silent. Between each section, an internal incompressible joint is precision machined, offering the minimum space to achieve a soft sliding contributing to the rigidity of the system and preventing the tubes from rattling when rotating or swinging quickly.
- Internal optional cabling: straight or coiled internal microphone cable can be set and removed instantly on all models without technical intervention (no tools needed, allowing for dismantling/assembly in less than 5 minutes).
- Discrete marking rings on the tubes of the longest model are there to help return more quickly to a predetermined length setting, making the boom operator’s life easier.
- A quick release top screw is supplied (1 provided per pole).
- A coloured rubber heel is provided with XL & L-QT models and may be added as a spare part to the other boom poles
- Easy repair ensures unrivalled long life spans, even on cabled poles. As the internal cable is removable, poles can be dismantled quickly and without the use of tools. Individual sections of any model can be repaired or replaced as available spare parts.
