Great advice. Most of my psm's lend me their Panamic Maxi (the one you reviewed) with a lectrosonics transmitter, I'm currently using one on a TV series. And yeah I should have purchased a longer boom first. I'll probably get my own Maxi or KP16 when it wraps, my 9ft ktek is usually redundant for bigger shoots.

👍

[@heymrcody]

easy money if you link a couple of boom poles in your description that fit the recommended lengths!

[@SoundSpeeds]

Done

[@heymrcody]

@@SoundSpeeds sorry the ktek and ambient links aren't working for me, but the panamic does

[@SoundSpeeds]

🤷

[@SoundSpeeds]

The links are right. No idea why they're not working

[@creativegreatsvisuals]

Why do you recommend only non cabled version boom poles ? Curious

[@QuestionMan]

Low budget Craft Services strikes again? 😆 Or was it the chowder? 😬

[@SoundSpeeds]

I have no idea
