Rode boompole?

[PDX_DVX]

Hey, I searched this and found a couple threads where people were thinking of buying this boompole, but no threads of people with actual experience using this pole. Has anyone used it yet? It seems like a good deal, 80 bucks for an aluminum pole that goes out to about 9 feet, just wondering if anyone has had their hands on one yet....

I've got one. It's pretty good for the price. It can be internally wired if it is the same as my one, which is nice.

The screw threads are a little fiddly but for the price it is great!

I just messed with one the other day. For the money, I think it's a nice pole.

They're pretty sweet for the money that's for sure. With the 5 sections fully extended it'll go over 10'. The weight is 29 oz. The foam handle grips are of excellent quality. They even ship with a protective carrying tube and velcro cable wraps. Not a bad deal at all. They're down to $75 bucks too!
