The Rycote G5 Carbon Fiber Boom Pole is compact, lightweight and extends to 8'2" (2.50m) in length. The G5 features 5 sections and the grip-and-twist locking mechanism that was popular on the A5 boompole. The locking system may be broken down for easy cleaning and maintenance. The G5's carbon fiber construction and absence of metal parts make it a lightweight solution for location recording, news-gathering and more.
