Ergonomically designed to support modern audio for video applications, the Deity Microphones BP500 is a telescoping boom pole featuring five smoothly gliding sections and length adjustment from 4.2 to 16.4'. Constructed with carbon fiber tubes and featuring CNC aluminum twist-lock collars, this boom pole is both durable and lightweight at only 2.1 lb. The BP500 sports a foam handle that helps to reduce handling noise during shoots. The tip features a 3/8"-16 thread for universal support of most pro audio devices, such as shockmounts and blimps. The pole also includes a removable double rubber bumper on the rear for protecting the pole when setting it down in between takes. The BP500 includes a shoulder strap and a semi-rigid carrying case.
