I use the boom for documentary. The internally coiled XLR really makes boom pole shots easier but it can create some noise when you move fast or quickly rotate the boom. The size is perfect for me in every situation inside and outside.
Pros

- Versatile
Cons
- Cord bounces inside pole
- Somewhat flimsy

Comments about K-Tek KEG-100CC Avalon Series Graphite Boompole with Internal Coiled XLR Cable:
Use for indy filming and indy work + tutorial videos.
Extends nice and long. Lightweight! Compact is key for me. Can get this down to size quick and easy. Only a couple feet long and very light to carry.
The only 2 problems I have is that it feels somewhat flimsy, AND you can hear the cord inside. Seems to not be padded down! If you shake the pole you can hear it bouncing around inside. Not too hard to work around, but can cause noise which is no good.

I use the boom for interviews inside and outside. It is lightweight and adjustable which allows me a great deal of positioning options for sound pick up. It has an easy one turn telescoping feature for quick adjustments, and solid construction. I use the Zoom 4 track with the boom and it's perfect!
