The QuickPole Counterweight attaches directly to the rear end of our QuickPole booms. Simply remove the rubber bumper and screw it onto the built-in thread. No tools, no fuss.
Work longer, strain less
It sounds counterintuitive adding weight to reduce effort - but that's exactly what a counterweight does. Thanks to lever physics, placing weight at the rear of the pole balances out the windshield + transmitter at the other end, significantly reducing the load on your arms and shoulders during long takes.
The counterweight is available in two versions to match your setup:
- for the QuickPole Series 5 - 476g
- for the QuickPole Slim - 453g
Stack it your way
Each counterweight adds just under a pound of weight and features a threaded connection on both ends, so you can stack multiple weights to fit your setup. More than just a counterweight An integrated 3/8" thread on the counterweight opens up a second use case entirely: mount your boom pole on any standard stand and turn it into a slim, elegant plant mic setup.
Good to know #1
Since the counterweight itself has a 35 mm diameter, it is wider than the QuickPole Slim's 30 mm tube. This means the original rubber end cap of the QuickPole Slim will no longer fit once the counterweight is attached.
Good to know #2
If you're using the counterweight with the QuickPole Slim and want to stack an additional counterweight on top, please note that the next counterweight needs to be the QuickPole Series 5 version - as the outer thread of the first counterweight matches the QP5 counterweights.
