Ikan 3-Section Telescoping Aluminum Microphone Boom Pole 3.5' (E-Image)

A boom pole is what puts a shotgun or hypercardioid mic exactly where the shot needs it while the operator stays out of frame. Internal cable management and a mounting thread that fits standard shock mounts are what separate a working pole from an aluminum stick.

This one also offers 3/8"-16 or 1/4"-20 mount, and includes padded bag with shoulder strap.
