Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Handheld boom pole for suspending a shotgun mic on location or in a studio. For anyone recording dialogue or foley off-camera.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Film and video shoots needing a mic off-frame overhead
- Foley and location dialogue where mic placement changes shot to shot
- Interview setups where a stand can't reach
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Podcasters recording seated at a desk — use a boom arm instead
- Anyone wanting a mic included; this is the pole only
- Solo operators with no one to hold it
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
No mic or shockmount included
You supply the microphone and, in practice, a suspension mount to isolate handling noise.
Detail 03
Standard mic thread at the tip
Accepts common shotgun mics and shockmounts directly, so it fits most location kits.
Detail 04
Cable runs externally
Not internally wired. Tape or clip the XLR along the pole to stop it slapping and adding noise.
Detail 05
Collapsible sections
Extend only what you need. Shorter extension means less flex and less operator fatigue on long takes.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No microphone, shockmount, or XLR cable is included
- 02Budget for a suspension mount — handling noise transfers straight up the pole
- 03Gaffer tape or cable clips keep the XLR from slapping the tube
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it come with a microphone?
No. The boompole is sold on its own. You supply the shotgun mic, a shockmount to suspend it, and an XLR cable long enough to run the length of the pole.
02Is it internally cabled?
No. Run your XLR along the outside of the pole and secure it with tape or clips so it doesn't tap the tube during takes.
03Can I mount it on a stand instead of holding it?
Yes, with a boompole holder or grip head. It's designed to be handheld, so a stand adapter is a separate purchase.
04Will it work with any microphone?
It takes standard mic-threaded mics and shockmounts. Heavier mics are harder to hold steady at full extension, so keep the load light.
