K-Tek Offers Three Tadpoles™ for Extended Reach
Sep 22nd
K-Tek, makers of the industry’s favorite boom poles, has the ideal solution for holding the new generation of handheld recorders, mobile communication devices, and tiny cameras like the GoPro and Contour.
Convenient and lightweight, K-Tek Tadpoles™ feature the same quality materials and craftsmanship as K-Tek’s trademark boom poles but in a shortened form. They pack up in one-foot (30.4cm) or two-foot (60.9cm) lengths and can extend up to 6’ 8” (203cm) depending upon the model.
The K-Tad Short is a 3-section aluminum mini boom pole with a mini ball head fixed to a ¼ x 20 threaded stud. The ball head helps position the device any way the operator chooses. Collapsed, it’s as short as 1’ (30.4cm) and extends to 2’ (60.9cm). The 4-section K-Tad Long collapses to 1’2” (35cm) and extends to almost 3’ (91cm). For even greater reach, the new aluminum K-Tad 79 packs up under 2’ but extends to an ample 6’8” (203cm).
Tadpoles are made in the USA. For further information, contact: K-Tek, 1384-F Poinsettia Ave., Vista, CA 92081; Ph. 760-727-0593; Fax 760-727-0693; www.ktekbooms.com
K-Tek Shoe Department Optimizes Camera Accessory Mounting
May 4th
In an effort to find a home for the many audio and video accessories that shooters would like to fit on or around the camera, K-Tek introduces the Shoe Department. This series of adapters optimize accessory mounting whether it’s for lighting, audio, viewing, or video streaming.
K-Tek’s Shoe Department offers 2 shoe bars; an aluminum 6” or 9” shoe bar on a Delrin shoe, shock mounts on a shoe, shoe plates which provide a flat surface for mounting audio transmitter receivers or recorders, a Mini Ball Head on a shoe, offset shoe adapters and extenders, and the newest series of Wiggly Arms on a shoe.
Wiggly Arms currently come in 6” size and can be shortened by taking out sections. Two of the models have a fixed Delrin shoe at one end and either a 3/8×16 or 1/4×20 stud on the other. The third has a shoe at the base and a removable flat aluminum plate on the other end. When the plate is removed there is a 3/8 x 16 stud.
All K-Tek Shoe Department products are made in the USA. Constructed out of machined aluminum, most feature an industrial Delrin shoe.
US prices for K-Tek’s Shoe Department products range from $22 to $85. For further information, contact: K-Tek, 1384-F Poinsettia Ave., Vista, CA 92081; Ph. 760-727-0593; Fax 760-727-0693; www.ktekbooms.com.
