K-Tek, known for setting the standard for modern boom poles, adds a new option to its line of Avalon telescoping poles. To fulfill the diverse sound needs of professional content creators and sound boom operators, the brand introduces the 5-Section Essential Boompole (KC108) which collapses to a compact 29.5″ (74.9 cm) and extends to 9 feet (275 cm).
The Essential is a lightweight pole useful for novice boom operators to cost-effectively hone their skills and for tight budget crews to benefit from professional style gear. Made in the USA with K-Tek’s new proprietary high-density tubing, the KC108 boompole weighs just 1.2 pounds (544 g) yet is extremely rugged. It features a 3/8″-16 male thread fixed top attachment for external cabling and anodized surface collars which provide a firm grip and smooth feel when engaging. Thanks to the tube’s sleek finish, each section easily glides open and closed.
When collapsed the Essential conveniently fits in a standard 1650 and 1637 Peli-Case, or medium-sized luggage for easy travel.
The KC108 Essential Avalon Boom pole has an MSRP of $199.99. From the top-of-the-line Mighty Boom to the midrange Avalon to the new Essential, K-Tek poles are manufactured and supported in the USA, in the original K-Tek shop in Vista, California.
K-Tek sound equipment is available from authorized K-Tek dealers. For more information email tino@ktekpro.com or visit www.ktekpro.com/product/kc108-k-tek-avalon-essential-pole-9ft/
