K-Tek KPHW1 Half Mighty Boom Hodges Counterweight

Be prepared to enhance your audio production experience with the KPHW1 Half Mighty Boom Hodges Counterweight, an essential accessory for audio professionals utilizing Mighty Boom boompoles. Weighing in at 1.1 lbs. (0.5 kg), this counterweight is expertly engineered to combat booming fatigue, a prevalent challenge faced by boompole operators during extended shooting sessions. Specifically designed to attach seamlessly to the bottom of Mighty Boom boompoles, the KPHW1 provides a crucial counterbalance that significantly mitigates the downward force exerted by microphones and shockmounts. This not only improves the maneuverability of a heavy boom setup but also reduces operator strain, making the boompole feel lighter and more manageable.

Crafted from solid heavy metal and encased in foam, the KPHW1 Half Mighty Boom Hodges Counterweight is both robust and comfortable to handle, reflecting K-Tek's dedication to quality and user-friendly design. Proudly made in the USA, this counterweight is tailored for exclusive use with Mighty Boom Poles. For those dealing with larger payloads at the tip of the boom pole, the KPHW1 can be stacked, offering a versatile solution to balance the off-balance forces on the boom lever. This adaptability is particularly advantageous for seasoned operators like Ronald Wright, who relied on this counterweight during his extensive work on the set of Hawaii 5-0.

Named in honor of the distinguished Scottish geometry mathematician W.V.D. Hodge, the KPHW1 Half Mighty Boom Hodges Counterweight is a favored choice among experienced boom operators. However, it is important to note that this counterweight is not compatible with Avalon and Airo Boom Poles. In summary, the KPHW1 Half Mighty Boom Hodges Counterweight is an indispensable tool for any professional audio operator using Mighty Boom boompoles, offering an effective solution to alleviate booming fatigue and enhance the overall efficiency of boom operations.
