K-Tek KE-79 Reviews

Lovely other than 1 thing

Love the boom pole, it works great, although I have a problem when shrinking it back down to storage size. The internal cable gets bunched up and can make it very hard to make it small again.

Best Feature: its Compact size

The 7' extended length of the K-Tek KE-79CCR is too short for many applications, however, it will work for stationary interviews. The stationary interview use is also ideal because there is more noise than professionally acceptable from the movement of the internal cable. I dislike the collars that lock the sections into place, as they don't provide a hold that gives me confidence. It feels like a moderate amount of weight or pressure could make the sections slip from their positions, which could mean the sections rotate or collapse during use. It hasn't failed in this way from a few hours of use so far, but like I said, it doesn't inspire trust. You're pretty much paying for the compact size. I can fit this into a variety of bags, and since it's internally cabled, I can get it up and running quickly. I don't feel like it's a great value otherwise. But if you absolutely need a compact boom with an internal cable for stationary audio work, this is my choice for the price.

What length does this collapse to?

What length does this collapse to?
Asked by: Jackie
The correct collapsed length is closer to 1 foot 10 inches, as stated on the 2022 K-Tek website. The length of mine, purchased in 2020, is actually just short of 22.5 inches.
