Review on LyxPro MPL-20: Portable Mic Boom Pole Arm with Adjustable Telescopic Aluminum Design, Built-In XLR Cable, and Shotgun Zoom Microphone Compatibility - Extendable from 2.4' to 9.25' by Larry Daniels

Pretty good arrow. For its price, it's about what you would expect. I used it once for a 16 hour shoot. Pros - Lightweight. Very light for a rod of this length. So far it looks good and solid. The connecting rings for each section feel like lightweight plastic, but they do the job of holding the sections securely. It has a hollow body and an outlet at both ends. Not big enough for an XLR or even a 1/4" jack, but you can embed a cable in it, which I will do. , or you must move during the buzzing, you might hear something. I found this with a Seinheiser mic and a mid-gain Zoom H6. When going through my mix I sometimes hear knuckle noise. (Yes, my mic cable was secured with gaff tape.) You feel it when you tap. It flexes a little at each joint, especially when fully extended. It saved my back, nice long lightweight buzzer pole with solid construction. This may not work for me in the long run unless I figure out how to minimize the rattling.
