Screwlocks Main objective on designing the locks was to create a continuous, positive lock with little force and outstanding long-life cycle. Believing in supreme steadiness of a traditional screwlock we felt that a half turn twist should suffice to close or open the boom. For this, both sleeve and bushing are milled out of aircraft aluminium with a special, solid fine pitch thread. Additional key features include: A double tapered collet provides superior locking action with minimal turn. A special retention pin prevents the collet from rotating and thus loosening of the lock through intersegmental twisting. This is especially important when carrying heavy mike assemblies. A sealing silicone ring in a groove effectively preserves lubrification and shields the thread from sand and dirt ensuring long-lasting smooth action. Chamfered sleeve nuts with straight knurling or special dimple structure provide comfortable but slip-proof operation in even most adverse outdoor situations.
QP Quickpole Standard A special multilayer construction of the tubes with 1.5 mm wall thickness makes the QP range extremely rugged and rigged, recommending these booms especially for the rigorous use in film, TV and documentary work. The extraordinary rigidity will allow boom operators to swing and point their mike precisely without the boom bouncing or dipping into the picture. With a clearly defined scope of application the range is limited to 2 suitable lengths. The modular extension QP120 can quickly be added as a 5th segment and gives an extra boost of length for wide, large crowd shots without the weight when not in use. With an outer diameter of 35 mm the extension will also fit into a standard Manfrotto pivot clamp allowing stand mounted use.   Product No. Length Weight QP 480 105-350 cm 680 g QP 4140 154-540 cm 1000 g QP 120 extension 145 cm (35 mm OD) 500 g

	QX Quickpole Light The QX series has retained all the features that have made Ambient Quickpole booms so successful, adding features that will especially appeal to those working “on the road”. This boom series can easily be recognised by the characteristic staggered dimples on the screwlocks and the blue anodised collar. It is a “State of the Art“ piece of equipment, and, with other Ambient microphone support accessories such as Quicklok and Top Tip provides a comprehensive solution to sound engineers working in the field. Key Features • Very lightweight 1 mm custom made carbon fibre tube. • Stainless steel tip with special hole for easy assembly of internal cabling. • Internal soft felt bushings ensure rattle free operation and no seizing by dirt, humidity or cold temperatures. • Once necessary collet and felt can easily be replaced on maintenance by the user at minimal cost to give an “as new” feel. • Boom sizes have been selected for travelling needs. The QX 565 fits diagonally in a Pelican case while still extending up to 2.6 meter. • New special bottom end allows coiled cable fixture to rotate when loosened allowing the internal spiral cable to relax and remove twisting without opening the boom. • Special fixing clamp for plug-on transmitters. Product No. Length Weight QX 550 50-195 cm 420 g QX 565 65-260 cm 460 g QX 580 80-330 cm 525 g QX 5100 100-420 cm 700 g QX 5130 130-560 cm 900 g

Accessories
Quicklok Quick release tip The Ambient “QuickLok” quick release tip for microphone assemblies is the first snap connection noise-free enough to allow for professional boom action and similar applications. The body of the QuickLok mounts onto the 3/8” thread of a microphone boom or stand and is secured in place via a grub screw. The tip fits into the mike support and can be tightened securely using a screwdriver or similar through a cross hole. The ingenious mechanism with tapered design provides a rigid, absolutely rattle free joint and has a self locking and self locating action. This universal piece will find its place not only on location, but also in music recording studios for quick disassembly of rigs, microphones, antennas and more.
Key Features • Time code masterclock with LTC and ASCII time code, send, receive and check TC diversion, tune other Clockit units. • USB interface for data download, programming, MIDI time code and serial Sony-P2 transmission. • Low jitter word clock generator with all clocks up to 192 KHz incl. pull up/down. • Interface for GPIO and connection of accessories such as GPS receiver, RF transceiver etc. • Powering options: internal battery, USB, external 6 – 12 Volts • 4x AA cell for over 24 hrs operation. • Standby mode for keeping accurate time code. • Firmware updates by user, available through download.
	TOP TIP / XLR TIP Multifunctional mic support tools The TOP TIP is milled out of aircraft aluminium and is fully configurable by the user. The XLR Tip (QAT-Eco) is a simplified version which, due to its simplicity and low cost, can always remain with the mike assembly when used with the spigot QAT-AD.   Key Features • Comfortable break point. Used together with QuickLok, (un)mounting a microphone/windshield combination becomes “a snap”. • Compatible with any mike suspension or windshield. • Greatly reduced handling noise compared to traditional setup due to very thin cable from XLR to mike. • Mounting of plug-on transmitter at the boom tip. Rigid construction guarantees that the transmitter will not move around or knock against the boom. • Configurable for mono or stereo microphones. • Easy repairs or re-configuration using standard Neutrik connectors.
