need advice on boom

My son has a DVX and a Sennheiser microphone, and he has requested a boom for Christmas. As a non-filmmaker, I have no idea what to look for or where to look.
Does anyone have any help for the ignorant? I would very much like to get him something good.

Many thanks,
Ellie
 
Wow, I would love to get something for my DVX that way :) Too bad it's never been a habbit in our family to ask each other what we'd like to get under christmas tree.

Anyway, depending on how much you want to spend, here are the booms I wouldn't mind getting myself:

K-Tek KE69CC - 149.95

Gitzo G557C - 179.95

K-Tek KE89CC - 179.95

K-Tel Avalon KE-79CC - 209.95

K-Tek KE101CC - 229.95

K-Tek KE101CCR - 239.95

Gitzo G-7680C - 249.95

(And then there is stuff costing $400+: K-Tek KE-100CC, KE-102CC(R), KE-152CC(R), VDB and Ambient poles)

But, really, if you pick any of the above, your boy will be happy. You don't have to buy from B&H, btw, it's just that it's easy to browse their huge inventory to make choice; then you can get the stuff from w/e place has better price.
 
The best solution for you is to call Rush at EVS (www.evsonline.com or 800.238.8480) explain your situation and he will get you all set up with exactly what you want. They are an awesome retailer that half this community uses and never has problems with.

We could list kit items for you for three months, analyze the type of shooting that your son is doing, and offer 300 poles between $100-$2000. A simple phone call to Rush will get you all set up.

Best of luck and that's a great present!
 
The low end of what he will need is the Gitzo 12' aluminum. I have that it works great for me.

If you have money to burn then go for the carbon Gitzo, it's lighter and better.

whatever you choose, just make sure it's at least 12'
