This K102 Klassic Boom Pole has a collapsed length of 2'3" (69cm) and an extended length of 8'5" (256cm) and only weighs 1.0lbs (458g). This 5-section Boompole is uncabled. The top attachment is a 3/8" - 16 male thread and the bottom attachment is a Collar with Rubber bottom. K-Tek Klassic Boom Poles are constructed from high-density graphite selected for maximum strength and minimum weight. Eight layers of dent-proof graphite are precision ground and then burnished to produce a low handling-noise finish. Telescoping sections are connected with our proprietary locking system. The ‘captive collet’ is held within a collar. With just a gentle twist, the collar squeezes the collet to lock the pole in position. The collar has a aluminum sleeve studded with a unique dimple design that provides a pleasant touch and good grip under all conditions, even in extreme temperatures and humidity. The bottom coupling allows boom operators to attach a variety of accessories making all K-Tek Klassic Boom Pole modular. In today’s changing production landscape this future-proof modularity translates to versatility from shot to shot, scene to scene and location to location.
