The Auray BP-28CC is a 5-section, carbon fiber boompole that combines an anti-twist tube design with ergonomic twist locks to offer smooth telescoping and hassle-free, one-handed operation—great for adjusting the length quickly, on the fly when filming documentary, ENG, or reality-style videos. The boompole has a collapsed length of 2.2', an extended length of 7.7', and weighs just 1.4 lb. The sections are made of graphite tubes designed to reduce flex and keep the weight to a minimum, reducing fatigue and resulting in quicker response and finer control of the microphone.
An internal, coiled cable with a bottom-exit XLR connector makes it easy to extend or retract the boompole while streamlining your setup with fewer cables to carry. The custom, removable head tip and drop-through design allow for cable reconfiguration without any soldering required. High-quality Rean and Neutrik connectors are used for reliable signal transfer and uncompromised performance, even in challenging environments.
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction
- The carbon fiber construction keeps the weight of your gear to a minimum when you're trekking to a location. Carbon fiber ensures durability that can tolerate demanding travel and location shoots in all kinds of weather.
Solid Grip and Smooth Telescoping
- The ergonomic twist locks are covered with rubber grips that are easy on your hands and comfortable to operate, making length adjustment smooth and effortless. Improved shims ensure a firm and secure hold until you loosen the locks.
Anti-Twist Alignment Tubing for One-Handed Operation
- Quick length adjustment when you're recording on the go is crucial for keeping from interrupting the shoot. With an anti-twist design, adjacent tubes won't twist when you're expanding or retracting the boompole. This allows for one-handed twist lock operation and makes setup and length adjustment fast and easy.
Internal, Coiled Cable with Strain Relief
- The integrated, coiled XLR cable is engineered to minimize unwanted radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic (EM) interference that can degrade the audio signal. The coiled design allows the cable to smoothly extend and retract with the telescoping tubes.
- The tip's strain-relief system absorbs tension, secures the cable, and protects the cable from damage at the edges of the tip exit. Additional strain relief at the bottom of the pole protects and preserves the connections between the cable and the TA3 connector.
Bottom-Exit Connector
- With a right-angle XLR cable plugged into the bottom-exit connector, the operator can rest the pole on its end without damaging the wiring or connector.
Removable Arrowhead Tip for Solderless Cable Replacement
- BP Series boompoles feature a removable Arrowhead tip designed to reduce weight at the top of the pole.
- The tip also allows easy drop-through cable insertion for quick and uncomplicated cable replacement.
- Thanks to the solderless design, you won't need special tools to replace the XLR cable using the cable replacement kit (available separately).
High-Quality XLR Connectors
- The internal cable is equipped with high-quality XLR and TA3 (mini XLR) connectors manufactured by Rean. The connectors ensure flawless signal transfer and secure locking connections, preventing the cable from disconnecting, even if there's stress or an accidental tug on the cable.
- The Neutrik bottom-exit connector is housed in its own casing and ensures a secure connection to the boompole that won't jeopardize signal flow by twisting or jiggling.
Standard 3/8"-16 Threaded Mount
- The boompole is outfitted with a standard 3/8"-16 threaded mount to ensure compatibility with most professional shotgun mics and shockmounts.
