On the set, it is often necessary, or convenient, to have a holder that will allow the boom pole to be held steadily and securely in one position. The K-Tek K-BC Boom Pole Cradle is a safe and superior way of supporting poles, over 16" in length.
The K-BC cradles the boom between two polyurethane pads supporting it over 2 square inches for a rigid hold. The pads also help isolate the pole from vibration conducted from the floor through the c-stand.
The K-BC attaches to a universal grip Knuckle with a stainless steel spud. This connects to a machined aluminum "I" beam shaft supporting the two swiveled pole cradles. Each pole cradle is attached to its "I" beam support through Teflon impregnated Delrin bearings. Compared to nylon which has a tendency to absorb moisture and swell, the K-BC's bearings allows the cradle to move smoothly in any environment.
