G5 Boom Pole

Featuring the same lightweight patented triple-cam 'grip and twist' locking system as the original aluminium A5 pole, and with no metal parts to add to its weight, the new Carbon Fibre G5 Boom Pole combines lightweight construction with great tensile strength. As on the A5, the locking mechanism is designed to be resistant to jamming when the pole is dirty; however, if necessary, the locking collars can be completely stripped down for cleaning in the field if required.

The G5 is available in two versions, a standard version and one with an internal coiled cable and built-in Neutrik XLR connector in the hilt.

With the standard G5 weighing just 580g, and the G5 with internal cable weighing 720g, the Rycote Carbon Boom Poles are ideal additions to the location kit of any broadcast, ENG or film sound engineer. 

The G5 1.8M Mini Pole, a shorter and lighter version, has only 369 grams and has an extended length of up to 1.8m (5' 11") and collapsed length of 0.5m (1' 8").

The new G5-4M MKII Production Pole has an extended length of up to 3.6m (11' 9") and collapsed length of 1m (3' 3").
