Rode Boompole Clips Cable-Securing Clips for Boompoles, 5-Pack

Rode Boompole Clips: Silence the Cable, Save the Take

Rode Boompole Clips are cable-management clips, supplied in a pack of 5, that snap onto a compatible Rode boompole to secure the microphone lead and minimise movement. They solve a small problem that ruins big takes: a loose cable on a moving boom is one of the most common sources of handling noise on location. Clip the cable down, and the boom moves in silence.

Why a Loose Cable Is a Problem

When a boom operator raises, lowers, and swivels a pole to follow the action, an unsecured microphone cable swings and drags along the shaft. Every slap and rub travels up the pole and into the shockmount, where the microphone picks it up as low-frequency thumps and rustle -- noise that is difficult or impossible to remove in post. Boompole Clips break that path by holding the cable snug against the pole so it moves as one with the boom instead of flapping against it. The result is cleaner dialogue and fewer takes lost to a rustling lead.

Simple to Fit, Five to a Pack

Each clip snaps onto a compatible Rode boompole without tools and releases just as easily, so you can dress the cable in seconds and re-route it whenever you swap microphones or mounts. With five clips in the pack, you have enough to run the cable neatly down the full length of the pole at regular intervals, keeping it controlled from the microphone at the tip all the way to the operator's hand.

Who the Rode Boompole Clips Are For

Boompole Clips are for any boom operator or location sound recordist who wants to eliminate cable-borne handling noise. Keep a pack with each Rode boompole, pair them with a shotgun mic and shockmount, and make quiet cable management a standard part of your rig.
