Troubleshooting
Boom pole sections are stiff or difficult to extend/retract.
Ensure there is no debris caught in the telescoping sections or collars. Clean the sections gently. If stiffness persists, a very small amount of dry lubricant suitable for carbon fiber may be applied to the inside of the collars.
Locking collars do not hold sections securely.
Check the collars for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure the sections are fully extended into the collars when locking. If the collars are damaged, contact support for potential replacement parts.
Carrying case zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. If it feels rough, try running a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth or use a specialized zipper lubricant.
Minor cosmetic scratches on carbon fiber tubes.
These are typically superficial and do not affect performance. For protection, ensure the pole is stored in its case when not in use. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Adjust to the desired length, ensuring each section is securely locked before proceeding.
- Attach your microphone shock mount and microphone to the 3/8"-16 threaded top.
Compatibility:

- Store the boom pole in its included carrying case to protect it from dust and damage.
- Clean the carbon fiber tubes with a slightly damp, soft cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Periodically check the locking collars for debris and ensure they operate smoothly. If stiffness occurs, a small amount of lubricant designed for carbon fiber or plastics may be used sparingly on the collars.
