Need help choosing?

Choose Uncabled for the lightest and simplest setup if you are happy to run the microphone cable externally. Choose Internal Coiled Cable – Bottom XLR for a clean internally routed cable with a conventional connection under the pole. Choose Internal Coiled Cable – Side XLR when you want the XLR lead to leave the Delrin base at a right angle, which can be neater with some sound bags, transmitters and boom stands.

The K-Tek Avalon Aluminium KE79 Traveller 6'6" Boom Pole is a 6-section professional boom pole from K-Tek's Avalon Aluminium range. Made from smooth black-anodised aluminium tubing, it provides a durable and cost-effective alternative to graphite for ENG, EFP, documentary, drama and general location-sound work.

The pole collapses to 1'8" (51cm) and extends to 6'6" (198cm). The side-exit XLR version is slightly longer, extending to 6'8" (203cm) and collapsing to 1'10" (56cm). Avalon knurled collars and K-Tek's captive-collet locking system provide secure, quick telescopic adjustment, while the fixed headpiece terminates in a standard 3/8"-16 male thread for professional microphone suspensions and shockmounts.

The compact Traveller family is available uncabled, with an internal coiled cable and bottom XLR, or with an internal coiled cable and side-exit XLR. The side-exit KE79CCR extends to 6'8".

Avalon Construction at an Accessible Price

A Practical Aluminium Boom for Professional Location Sound

The Avalon Aluminium KE79 Traveller uses K-Tek's smooth black-anodised aluminium tubing and established Avalon locking system to deliver a dependable 6-section pole without the cost of a graphite model.

Compact 1'8" Collapsed Length

Choose the Cabling Setup That Suits Your Rig

The uncabled version keeps weight and complexity down for external cable routing. Bottom-XLR versions route a coiled XLR internally and exit straight from the base. Where offered, the side-XLR version moves the male XLR to the side of the Delrin base for a lower-profile cable path.

Black-Anodised Aluminium

Quick, Secure Avalon Locking

Knurled collars and K-Tek's captive-collet locking design allow the telescopic sections to extend and collapse smoothly while locking securely during production.
