What's great:
- Lightweight carbon fiber material
- Solid feel and well constructed
- Included adapters for 3/8", 5/8", and 1/4" threads should fit virtually all mic mounts commonly available
- Included carrying bag
- Included shoulder strap for boom pole operation
Room to improve:
- Included carrying bag is barely long enough to hold boom pole, and could be longer to keep a mic clip attached to the end of the boom pole
- No internal XLR cable makes cable management a chore, and similarly priced aluminum boom poles come with built-in XLR cables
Overall this boom pole is well made and lives up to what it was designed to do. The materials all feel like very high quality. The locking mechanisms are solid and secure.
The only areas where I would improve are:
1. No built in XLR cable - This pole was not designed to have a built-in internal XLR cable, but if you're shopping for a boom pole, I highly recommend getting one with a built-in internal XLR cable instead of running an XLR cable down the outside of the pole. An internal XLR cable makes cable management so much easier, especially if you plan on using this out in the field where you might need to frequently expand or collapse the length of the boom pole. For a little more money, you might find a similar boom pole with an internal XLR cable.
2. The included carrying bag is nice, but it is barely long enough to fit the boom pole. The threaded end sticks out the opening of the bag, so it's not fully protected. Or if you look at it the other way around, the bag doesn't protect the pole from hitting and scratching walls, doors, cars, or whatever might be around you while you're carrying the bag on your shoulder. Since the bag isn't long enough to cover the threaded end of the pole, the bag won't protect your mic clip if you leave it on the pole when putting it away in the bag. I wish Neewer made the bag a little longer to be able to keep the mic clip attached to the pole when transporting it. I own other Neewer products, and the carrying bags are usually the shortcomings where they didn't think about how customers will use their products, and they didn't give thought to designing the bags around the use case.
But these are two things that aren't core to the product, so the mic boom pole itself is great. But you might prefer one with an internal XLR cable, and you might need to buy a different bag for carrying this pole with the mic clip attached.
