QP Jumbo Extra Long Booms |  |
These unique booms can be extended to 10 meters and use carbon fibre tubes up to 40mm OD. Due to their great length they are not intended for normal hand use. (Though we have sold several to boom operators) and so there are various accessories for mounting the booms on a Manfrotto light stand with cantilevering angle bracket and counterweight.
By extending the stand they can be used to place microphones up to 12 meters above ground level in the following recording situations. Studio, Classical music on location, Church organ, Feature film crowd scenes etc. Jumbo booms have been used on location to position small cameras, lights, measuring equipment or aerials.
The booms can be internally cabled and are fitted with a slotted tube and carabiner for the counter weight: A special tip is available to pass a multicore cable up the boom for surround sound recordings.
NOTE: All Ambient boom poles except QP6200 ship with protective boom cases as standard.

This swivel is used for mike assemblies which are suspended from a boom such as the Jumbo series.
It ensures that the mike assembly always levels out horizontally independent of the angle the boom is set at. When the boom is vertical the MikeLink prevents the microphone assembly from contacting the boom and thus making noise.
It also allows the microphone position to be set up at ground level and then be swung up into position.
