Talking Which Boom Pole package for Sennheiser MkH416?

Howdy,

I'm looking to pick-up 2 new Sennheiser MKH416 P48 for rental units. I'm trying to find which boom pool and suspension systems users think are the best. These would be general rental use for ENG/Broadcast/Film.

A studio is a financial black hole with good acoustics.

It's only vintage if it works. Other wise it's just old crap.

JS Bach or Beethoven never used auto-tune or comp tracks, nor an eq, a compressor/limiter, a reverb or a delay an analog or digital mix system. All that was achieved in the writing and performance of the music. Obviously Bach and Beethoven were doing it wrong.

For suspension I would get a Rycote kit 4. forget the Röde. Too big and too heavy. I have both. Now rebuilding the Röde for stationary use.

For boom pole I have only use cheap Röde/K&M. Forget about them. Too short and too heavy. I would look into Loon boom poles.

Boom poles: VdB or Ambient/Quickpole.
Second the Rycote recommendation for windscreen/suspension combo. Cheapish alternative up to about 4 Bft. is the Rode Deadcat directly pulled over the foam.
