Ambient QuickPole Series 5 Boom Poles

Ambient QuickPole Series 5 Boompoles

Ambient's best and most lightweight boom poles yet!

Boom poles are indispensable to record clear location audio on set and are a key component in every location sound recordist’s and boom operator’s kit (apart from audio recorders and mics). From feature films to streaming series and documentaries, boom poles help capture dialog and sounds in the best quality possible. A good boom pole should stow away cables and give your mic the necessary support.

Ambient work tirelessly to give you the best boom pole experience possible, and the QuickPole has done a great job to support boom operators all over the world. Now, Ambient have revolutionized the QuickPole with the introduction of the new Series 5 QuickPole boom. Why Series 5? First, because it’s a 5-section boom. Second, because it’s built with the 5th generation of boom pole tubes.

Ambient have developed this range to satisfy even the pickiest of audio pros. Just like its predecessors, the QuickPole S5 is perfectly suited for the professional boom operator and on-location recording: ultra-lightweight, high quality and made from extremely durable material.  In short, it’s the most advanced carbon fiber boom pole they've developed.

Please note that we sell the Ambient Series 5 boom poles with a mono connector as standard, however a stereo connector is available. Please get in touch if you'd prefer a stereo connector.

Key features

Light and sturdy

The Series 5 booms combine the best properties of the QXS and the QP series thanks to exciting new tube technology. Ambient use a custom-made carbon fiber compound with added UHM fiber layering. With this technology, the QuickPole S5 boom pole becomes as sturdy as the QP 4-segments series but is still as lightweight as the QXS 5-segments series. The new construction also means Ambient have launched the new QP5150 model, a boom that extends to over 6 meters (20.99 ft): a well-balanced professional boom pole with no ifs, ands, or buts.

Easy extending and collapsing

On set, you have to work fast. The Series 5 QuickPole addresses that with another new key feature: the new Teflon sheet plus a silicone-lubricated felts that make for silky-smooth extending and collapsing of the boom pole. The telescoping function of the pole works so quickly that you’ll be able to capture any sound source. The re-engineered locks give you better grip thanks to the refined knurling and slightly extended length. Ambient have tuned the threading further; with just a quarter turn the locks open and close securely yet lightning fast.

Intersectional twist protection

You'll also love the new anti-twist mechanism of the pole-sections: Ambient replaced the retention pin with an innovative serration. The lock pieces automatically fall into place when you disassemble and reassemble your pole for cleaning or maintenance – what used to be an easy process has become effortless.

Cable retrofit

The newly designed tip and optional bottom end allow for easy, solder-free cable retrofit. Simply take off the tip, insert the pre-configured internal cabling and plug it into the butt-end. No muss, no fuss – that’s how a coupling system should be.
