BOOM! RYCOTE\'S POLES GO GRAPHITE

Date: 27/01/2011
Rycote®, Rycote, the UK manufacturer of advanced microphone windshields and shockmounts, has added three telescopic carbon-fibre boom poles to its range of accessories for broadcast and location sound recordists: the 1.63-metre-long G3, with three sections, and the 2.49-metre-long G5, with five sections. The G5 is itself available in two versions, a standard version and one with an internal coiled cable and built-in Neutrik XLR connector in the hilt.
 
For several years, following their takeover of US boom pole manufacturer Lightwave Audio, Rycote has been selling telescopic boom poles under the Lightwave name. However, with the launch of the Rycote-branded G-series carbon-fibre poles, the entire range, including the A3 and A5 aluminium poles, will now be rebranded as Rycote products.
 
Featuring the same lightweight patented triple-cam 'grip and twist' locking system as the A3 and A5 poles, and with no metal parts to add to their weight, the new G3 and G5 combine lightweight construction with great tensile strength. As on the A3 and A5, the locking mechanism is designed to be resistant to jamming when the pole is dirty; however, if necessary, the locking collars can be completely stripped down for cleaning in the field if required. The G3 weighs a mere 360 grammes, the standard G5 is 580g, while the G5 with internal cable weighs 720g.
 
The G3 and G5 boom poles are ideal additions to the location kit of any broadcast, ENG or film sound engineer. All three are on sale now, with UK recommended retail prices as follows:
 
G3: £150.
G5 Standard: £204.
G5 with internal cable: £288.
 
All prices include VAT at the new rate of 20 percent. Prices will vary in territories outside the UK.

Vitec Production Solutions at the BSC Expo
Making its official debut at the BSC Expo will be the all-new dual-battery bracket, which enables users to power a Gemini panel with two industry-standard 14.4V broadcast camera batteries mounted directly to the yoke or light stand. With its extremely lightweight and on-board, ballast-free power supply, Gemini has always been easy to transport and rig at on-location shoots. Now it's even more practical in situations where portable power is preferred over mains power, including a broad range of ENG and ENP applications. Unlike competing LED panels, which can only generate 50 percent of their maximum output when battery-powered, Gemini can operate at up to 100 percent intensity running from mains and battery power alike.
