Rode Micro Boompole Compact Aluminium Boom Pole, 6.9 ft Reach, 396 g

Rode Micro Boompole: Full Boom Control That Fits in the Bag

The Rode Micro Boompole is a compact, precision-balanced boompole machined from anodized aluminium, with a maximum reach of 6.9 ft (2.1 m) and a weight of just 396 g (0.87 lb). It brings real boompole control to the run-and-gun shooter who cannot carry a full-size pole, pairing especially well with Rode VideoMics. When your whole kit rides in one bag, this is how the microphone still gets exactly where it needs to be.

Why a Compact Boompole Changes Solo Shooting

A camera-mounted microphone can only ever be as close to the subject as the camera is, which on interviews and pieces-to-camera is rarely close enough for clean, present sound. A boompole breaks that link, letting you place the mic overhead and near the source while the camera stays framed. The Micro Boompole does it in a package small enough to live in a camera bag: anodized aluminium keeps the tube rigid and hard-wearing at just 396 g (0.87 lb), and precision balance means one hand can hold and steer it. For a solo creator, that is the difference between location sound that sounds professional and audio that gives the shoot away.

Reach, Grip, and Lock in a Small Package

Despite its size the Micro Boompole extends to a genuine 6.9 ft (2.1 m), enough to clear the frame on most interview and vlog setups, and collapses down short for transport. An ergonomic grip gives your hand a natural, secure hold for single-handed booming, and the intuitive lock/release system changes length quickly and quietly without slipping. A standard 3/8-inch thread at the tip mounts Rode VideoMics and other compact shotgun microphones, with the freedom to swivel toward the sound.

Where the Micro Boompole Fits

This is the boompole for mobile and solo production. Vloggers and content creators use it to get a VideoMic overhead and out of frame; interview and documentary shooters carry it as a grab-and-go boom; and camera operators keep one in the kit for the moments a camera-top mic simply is not close enough. Wherever a full boompole would be overkill or too much to carry, the Micro Boompole covers the job.

Who the Rode Micro Boompole Is For

The Micro Boompole is for the run-and-gun filmmaker, vlogger, and one-person crew who wants boompole control without boompole bulk. Pair it with a Rode VideoMic and a compact shockmount for a mobile audio rig that fits in the same bag as your camera and still lands professional sound.
