- Attaching Your Microphone:
The Boompole features a standard 3/8-inch thread at its tip for microphone mounting. Screw your microphone's shock mount or clip onto this thread until it is secure. Do not overtighten. Compatible microphones include NTG-1, NTG-2, NTG-3, NT4, NT5, NT55, and M3.
- Jesyon kab:
For optimal performance and to minimize handling noise, route your microphone cable along the length of the Boompole. The Boompole is designed to allow internal cable routing for a cleaner setup, though some XLR connectors may be too large. Alternatively, use the provided Velcro straps to secure the cable externally along the pole, ensuring it does not interfere with extension or retraction.
