Boom Poles
The A5 News Boom Pole is telescopic microphone boom pole. The tubing on the A5 News pole is made from a high grade 1.0mm thick aluminum alloy. This gives the pole exceptional strength at great value.
Our patented locking system is completely different in design from all other boom poles on the market. To remove weight and ease the cleaning of the pole, the locking system uses no metal components. The locking system can then be stripped down completely for cleaning as required.

“No other mount isolates my Schoeps CCMs from handling noise as efficiently as an Invision. Handling noise from the boom is eliminated. ” — Tim White AMPS

Whereas on all existing pole designs fine metal threads are used, the A5 News boom pole instead uses a triple-cam lock system. This allows for a minimal twist to lock/unlock and makes the pole far less likely to jam when dirty
