Comparing Boompole Quick Releases - Sound Speeds

At the cost of an ounce or two, having a quick release on the end of your boompole can make the difference between getting a microphone switched out in time to get your dialogue. There are many different version online ranging from $21 to $137 and each one has advantages over the others. In this video I will showcase 6 shockmounts currently available on the market (at the time of this video). Discontinued and currently unavailable models will not be featured nor will quick releases that are only compatible with one boom pole or cameras.

There is no information online about the "Alignten" quick release.
After the release of this video, I was informed that Thomann in Germany sells an inexpensive Quick Release called the Gravity MS QC 1B. It's less than $12 and am told it works well. Thanks Be Ha for the heads up! To purchase one for yourself, click here: bit.ly/2LoJ9q0
