$60 LyxPro MPL-20 vs Pro Booms, K-Tek KP16CCR and Ambient QXS-5130

It's not enough to just point out the flaws of a $60 boom pole without demonstrating that there are better models out there. In this video I check out the LyxPro MPL-20 boom pole and compare it to K-Tek's Mighty Boom KP16CCR and the Ambient QS-5130.

Surprisingly the LynPro is better than expected. The knuckles and cable are total garbage but aside from that, the boom itself is relatively quiet once in position. It did bow quite a bit but that wasn't visible to the camera. It's also rather short at only 9 feet 3 inches long but that may be long enough for some people. Join me as we go thru this $60 and the 2 professional booms to see how they compare.
