Amazing quality
It's not cheap but for the length its able to do i thought there would still be some flex or wobble to it or it would be too heavy to use easily. but this thing is so light and the tolerance of the build quality are so good that at full length it is rock solid. I've seen some reviews say it is heavy, but i dont know what those people are thinking. for somethig made of metal thats 3 meters long i could hold this thing up for ages. Maybe those peopel have never picked up a weight in their life, i dont know but anyone who is a boom operator i think this is the lightest you will get before paying for something made of carbon fiber.
The mechanism on the adjustable lenghts is strong, and easy to use.

It's stable although heavy
It's a heavy boom, but it's stable and for small extension lengths it's great for hand-holding. Most of the time I use it with a Manfrotto super clamp on a lightstand.
It's good to have a Manfrotto 015 Adapter 1/4" - 3/8" too for some mic holders' threads sizes.

Rode Boompole
Very nice, durable and well made boompole. It's a little heavy, but not so heavy that you can't handle it. And also love that you can fit your cable inside of the boompole and you can adjust your boom length without any problems. To be honest it serves pretty well for that money. I don't regeret the purchase.

Rode Boompole
We bought this for a short comedy show we were hired to do sound and light for in a small hotel. We gave the main cast members headset mics and then used this with a Sennheiser rifle mic and Sennheiser wireless transmitter to pick up the lines from the other secondary cast members.
The long reach of the boom made it very easy to do this, as we were able to get the mic in close enough to pick up what the actors were saying, but we were able to stay out of the way and not obstruct the audiences view. Obviously, when it is fully extended, it feels quite heavy and you wouldn't be able to hold it up for too long, but this is the same with any boom pole.
The build quality is excellent, as you would expect from Rode and it also comes with some velcro ties to tie a mic cable to the boom pole without having to use tape.
Highly Recommended.
