I have often heard you get what you pay for, well, that is definitely true in Audio recording. I recently purchased a Rode Micro Boom pole. I barely got it set up before I noticed how loud the locking mechanisms seemed to be. With out a microphone the pole rattled when I moved it up or down. It rattled when I turned it side to side. Even when I secured the joints with hard ties it still rattled somewhat.
Once I got a microphone mounted, it became clear that I was going to need to spend more than $50 on a boom pole. The rattling was being picked up. Now, I am in need of an inexpensive but QUIET boom pole.
The Mission: Recommend a Boom pole.
The requirements: Low Noise, Sturdy, less than $200.
Notes: Only recommend Boom Poles you have personally used. This was my last trip into the unknown.
