The VDB QT Boom Pole (or 'Quarter-Turn' boom pole) is a professional carbon fiber boom pole that offers excellent rigidity, strength-to-weight ratio and ease of use. The VDB QT Booms are chosen by professional boom operators the world over thanks to their longevity and ease of repair, with each component readily available from the manufacturer.
You can choose to use the pole with an external cable or an internal cabling kit is available for each length as an add on in Mono or Stereo.
VDB QT Boom Pole Features
• Manufactured from high modulus carbon fibre for the best compromise between lightness and strength
• 6-section design provides the greatest length and stiffness when expanded, while reducing collapsed size
• "Quarter Turn" clamping system allows the pole to be locked in place with just a quarter turn of the hand
• All models can be wired with removable internal cable (mono or stereo, straight or 90° output) (cables are sold separately as an accessory) • All pole elements (tubes, locking rings) can be replaced if damaged, which avoids buying a complete new boompole
• 1x Quick lock (TOP-SC-2) and 1x standard heel (6-101) included (soft heel 6-103 instead of the classic heel for L-QT & XL-QT models)
