Dave Pullmer Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 What have people’s experiences been like with internally cabled Ambient booms? How do they compare to K Teks cabled poles? I do a fair share of bag mixing where I like to use an internally cabled pole and am looking for a non solder solution for when I have a boom op. I currently have a K Tek but don’t have any experience with the cabled Ambient poles. Any insight would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanieldH Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I have an older 5100, straight cabled, that I use for bag jobs and fiction booming. Does, what it is supposed to. When in a wireless setup, plugon TX fit on the QAPL. I do prefer a shorter booms for mixing though. Only the lately released 5Series from Ambient allows "solderless" (dis-)assembly. VdB may be worth a look, too. I think their 6-104 side heel is rather new and provides a needed option for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanpeds Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Ambient just released their quickpole 5 series. That might be a good option to look into. New carbon fiber design, plus a solderless design for the cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pullmer Posted August 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 For sure, that’s why I’m asking! Curious to see how ambients internally cabled poles perform, and if people have had experience with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanieldH Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Well, what sort of performance are you thinking of, cablewise? Coiled or straight? Generally I prefer Ambient over Ktek for their precision, smoothness of their surface and durability of the foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 PSC elite poles have an internal cable that can be removed easily. I can only speak to the pole with XLR out the bottom and not the right angle XLR bottom. Unscrew the bottom XLRM, take off the top boom screw, and drop the XLRF through the pole. Non solder internal cable to no cable. This is not Ambient though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
