The K-Tek KE-89 Avalon Series Aluminum Boompole provides a moderately priced, lightweight boompole solution for ENG, EFP and other field recording applications. Its sturdy aluminum design is tough enough to endure the rigors of road use while remaining lightweight and travel worthy. A total of 4 aluminum sections telescope between 2.5-7.2' (0.76-2.19m) and will easily store in any standard equipment case. The captive-collet coupling system locks each section in place for even further reliability.

On run-and-gun shoots is where the weakness of this product is exposed. It is overall a solid piece of equipment that does what you ask of it, but it can be tricky to get the right grip to rotate so you can loosen/tighten and therefore extend/retract quickly as you are adjusting between quick takes or setup changes.
Not that big a deal unless things are moving very quickly, which for me they often are.

Nice piece of gear for the price, although it is sometimes difficult to lock the segments because they all turn simultaneously.
