Compact and Lightweight Audio Solution
The Rode Micro Boompole Lightweight Boompole (2m) in Black is a precision-balanced, compact boompole designed for mounting microphones during location recording, ideal for filmmakers, videographers, and sound recordists across Australia. With a maximum reach of 2.1 meters (6¾ ft), intuitive twist-lock mechanism, and lightweight aluminum construction, it’s perfect for capturing professional audio in confined spaces or on-the-go shoots.
Superior Performance and Compatibility
The Rode Micro Boompole extends smoothly from 844 mm (2 ft 9 in) to 2063 mm (6¾ ft) via an intuitive three-section twist-lock system, allowing quick adjustments for dynamic recording scenarios. Weighing only 396 g, it’s designed for comfort during extended use, particularly when paired with lightweight microphones like the Rode VideoMic, VideoMicro, NTG series, or third-party mics such as the Sennheiser MKE 600. The boompole features a 3/8-inch thread for secure microphone mounting, compatible with shock mounts like the Rode SM3-R or SM4-R. Its ergonomic foam grip enhances handling, reducing fatigue, though some users note the grip could be thicker for larger hands. Reviews praise its balance and portability, with one user on Reverb noting it’s “perfect for amateur filming” due to its lightweight design, though it may flex slightly with heavier setups like a Rode Blimp.
Durable and Portable Design
Crafted in Rode’s Sydney, Australia facilities, the Micro Boompole is made from precision-balanced anodized aluminum, ensuring durability while keeping weight low at 396 g. Its compact collapsed length (844 mm) makes it easy to transport in gear bags, ideal for travel or run-and-gun shoots. The anodized black finish resists scratches, maintaining a professional appearance. The boompole includes a 3/8-inch thread for mounting and is compatible with Rode accessories like the Pivot Adaptor for added flexibility. Users appreciate its portability, with Amazon reviews highlighting its “light yet sturdy” build, though some note the twist-lock mechanism requires practice to lock securely from the base up to avoid spinning. Backed by a 1-year warranty (extendable with registration at rodemic.com), it’s a reliable choice for professional and amateur setups.
