Lightwave G-5CC

The G5 News Boom Pole has been designed for use in the world of TV news broadcasting.  It uses some of the most advanced engineering design techniques and materials available today.

Lightwave's patented locking system is completely different in design from other boom poles on the market. To remove weight and facilitate the cleaning of the pole, the locking system uses no metal components. It (the locking system) can then be stripped down completely for cleaning as needed.

Metal threads are used on almost all other boom poles, but the G5 News boom pole uses a triple-cam lock system instead. This makes twisting to lock and unlock sections minimal and makes it far less likely to jam when dirty.

Features:

• Robust & strong pole
• Patented locking mechanism – with NO screw threads
• Simple 15 degree twist locking mechanism
• Easy to clean
• Pole tip - Stainless steel 3/8” BSW (Whitworth) thread

The pole can be supplied with an internal coiled cable as an option. The coiled cable & connectors have all been chosen for their high quality. At present, there is only a straight exit XLR output.
