Weighing 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg), it reduces operator fatigue by counteracting the downward force created by a microphone and shockmount at the far end of the pole. This improves balance, stability and maneuverability, especially during long shooting days or when working with heavier microphone setups.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eMade of solid heavy metal with a foam outer covering, the counterweight is durable, comfortable to handle and optimized for professional field use.
