When you get this pole, make sure you get used to how to tighten and loosen the tubes. I've heard some complaints about it, but I haven't had any trouble with it. The main thing is you shouldn't over-tighten or over-loosen the thing, and it works brilliantly.
The micro boom Pole works great (just as my DIY painter's extension pole did) but it also looks the part - Since the company was covering the tab, it would be easy for me to write it off as a great product since I didn't pay for it, but even if I had covered the cost, I would of kept it - Very lightweight and durable - Comfortable grips and no hang up's with the telescopic extensions - They lock/unlock extend/collapse with no problems and stay locked - Closes to a manageable size that's easy for storage and transport.
Pros: Inexpensive yet durable, perfect for the one man crew - Easy to mount above/below talent on stand when minus a crew. Handles most Rode Shotgun mics (or any shotgun mic of similar weight) with no problems - Add a shock mount for greater control.
Cons: A foot or two more in length would be great (but then it wouldn't be a 'micro' pole) - Ideal for close up's / interviews - Too short for run/gun, wide scenes unless you have a dedicated sound guy who knows how to work a boom and keep it out of frame - (I'd imagine that if you did have a sound guy, he would be using something of greater length anyway) - For the purchase price, it might be a hard sell to someone that can make a longer 'DIY' one for cheaper, but ideal if you're looking to weed out the improvised gear. On exteriors, it holds up to wind, but not all that great unless you have it rigged down good or are using an actual sound guy.
Conclusion:
A good buy for the amateur looking to invest in dedicated gear, as well as the pro for tight shots with a limited crew. You can add ties for your cable, or just tape or zip tie the mic cable if pressed for time - No XLR inputs or jacks built in, so plan on securing wire with the above quick solutions, or improvise/engineer your own.
1. Very lightweight
2. Easy to expand/collapse
3. Compact (great for recording in tight spaces or for transporting on long hauls)
4. Noise from handling is minimal during recording (handling any boom requires good technique to avoid ANY sound transference)
5. Price
Probably the only thing negative I can think of with this pole (which is true for most poles) is that affixing the microphone wire along the pole can sometimes create unwanted tapping. Of course, this is where pole technique comes into play but more importantly, how you set up your rig. The more expensive poles have a feature where the XLR connection runs through the inside of pole however that feature worth the price you pay, I'm sure.
If you already own a good supply of equipment or are operating simultaneous sound recordings, this is will make a great backup. But if you're like me, working on a very tight (and low) budget, this IS DEFINITELY WORTH the investment. I'm very happy with it
Pro tip - this comes with a rubber washer at the tip of the pole around the threaded part, but you can take it off so the threading can go further into whatever you are attaching, for a more secure fit.

Surprisingly for its size and name, it can balance a Rode NTG4+ or a Sennheiser MK-416 in a blimp with a Dead Wombat cover. You will, in time, be better served with longer, lighter boompoles, especially those with added features such as an internal housing for cables or a carbon-fiber construction (both of which this pole lacks). But for less than ₹ 4,000, you get an outstanding product that will get you shooting and recording right away - and that is, by far, the most important thing.
Le système est simple : Il faut "visser" les branches pour qu'elles se bloquent, les "dévisser" pour les libérer, mais il y a un coup à prendre, un juste milieu à trouver (Si vous dévisser à fond, ça se bloque à nouveau), mais ça deviendra de suite instinctif. De toute manière, vous avez des écritures discrètes au bout de chaque branche pour vous aider à la replier ou étendre.
La mousse est vraiment très agréable au toucher pour un confort maximal durant toutes ces heures de prises de son.
La légèreté de l'ensemble évitera les crampes ou autres fatigues prématurées des bras, ce qui est encore un excellent point.
Je l'utilise avec une suspension et un micro Rode NTG-2 (léger lui aussi) et il n'y a vraiment rien de négatif à noter à son sujet.
J'aurais aussi aimé que les attaches (pour fixer le câble XLR) soient incluses.
