This 7.5' Mixed Fiber Mini Boom Pole from Cavision is a lightweight (7 oz) hand-held boom. It extends from 2.9 to 7.5', and can hold up to 3.3 lb.
The mini boom is made of durable, lightweight mixed glass and carbon fiber, and features a male 3/8" threaded stud at the top. The primary tube is specially coated to minimize handling noise. This mini boom has 3 sections, and must be used either fully collapsed or fully extended, as it has no locking collars.

Bought this thinking I could use it with a boom mic and cradle. It's so flexible that it feels dangerous. I had to return mine because after i extended the 3 sections I tried collapsing and the back cap popped off and the remaining 2 sections slid through the back.
This is definitely worth the price. The three sections slide out to give a 7 1/2 foot reach, which is good enough for my purposes. Half the weight of the similarly priced Rode boombpole but the carbon & glass fibre seems to make it quite tough and durable. My only gripe is that I wish there was some locking device for the 3 sections.
