AMBIENT QXS 565
Ambient QXS Series Boom Poles
Ambient has released the QXS series of boom poles , which are specifically designed for documentary and ENG booming work and replace the previous QX series . There are five boom poles in the QXS series of varying lengths : the QXS 550 , QXS 565 , QXS 580 , QXS 5100 , and QXS 5130 . The poles are built with five segments for a better collapsed-to-extended ratio .
These QXS pull-braiding carbon fibre tubes are designed with a 1mm wall thickness to achieve light weight with high-durability properties . While all mechanical parts are machined out of aircraft aluminum , the 3 / 8-in . thread is made out of solid stainless steel to withstand microphone changes .
Internal soft felt bushings are designed for rattle free operation and to resist seizing from dirt , humidity , or cold temperatures . The collars feature a machined knurl that provides improved grip and the new locking system locks faster and easier than previous Ambient designs while providing a stronger lock between segments .
