The KC108CC Essential Boompole collapses to a compact 32.4″, and extends to 9′ | 2.75 m. Made of a proprietary composite material, the KC108CC Essential Boompole weighs only 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg). The top attachment is a 3/8″ " 16 male thread. The KC108CC Essential Boom features an internal coiled cable and an XLR connection at the base of the pole. Its collapsed size conveniently fits in a standard 1650 and 1637 Peli-Case, or a medium-sized luggage for easy travel. The anodized, knurled surface collars provides a firm grip and smooth feel when opening and closing each collar. The finish of the tubes allows for the sections to glide open and closed effortlessly.
