About the K-Tek Boom Pole:
Rent a K-Tek boom pole in Los Angeles from F22 Studios. K-Tek poles are the working standard on professional production sound carts, designed for narrative dialog, documentary and interview booming, commercial and corporate shoots, and event coverage where a boom operator needs reach, balance, and silence.
What separates a professional boom pole from a cheap one is behavior under load. With a shotgun microphone, shock mount, and windshield on the end, a lesser pole flexes and drifts at full extension, and its collars creak or slip during a take. K-Tek builds poles that stay stiff at reach, lock positively, and stay quiet — which is the entire job, because any noise the pole makes lands in a microphone inches away.
The telescoping sections extend smoothly and collapse to a transport-friendly length, and the balance stays predictable as you extend, so a boom operator can adjust reach mid-scene without re-finding the balance point.
The tip uses the standard 3/8″-16 thread, so it accepts any of our shock mounts and shotgun microphones, including blimp and suspension systems for exterior and windy work.
Practical use cases include narrative dialog booming, documentary and interview sound, corporate and commercial dialog, conference and event audio, and second-boom coverage on multi-camera productions. Pairs naturally with our Schoeps CMIT 5U, Sennheiser MKH-416 and MKE 600, and Rode NTG shotgun microphones, plus our Zoom F-series and H-series recorders. For a pole with the microphone cable routed internally, see our K-Tek collapsible boom pole with XLR and the KE-89CC. Available now for rental at F22 Studios in Burbank, serving productions across greater Los Angeles.
