With the Avalon KE-79 boom pole, US manufacturer K-Tek offers a very handy boom pole. The KE-79 can be extended from a transport length of 52 cm to approximately 2 metres.
The boom pole is therefore aimed at use in the EB sector.
The KE-79 weighs 561 g and is made from aluminium. It offers many of the advantages of the higher-priced K-Tek Klassic series, such as very reliable collars
and a lockable coupling system that enables the individual sections to be fixed securely.
As part of an introductory offer, the KE-79 boom pole currently costs just €153 instead of €207.
