Pair of 3/8" Tips for PCS-Boom Connector
Additional tips allow you to prepare your various shock-mounts, windshield kits etc., for fast and simple PCS attachment and release!
Simply 'click' - and boom!
The PCS 'tip' locks into any 3/8" female threaded windshield kit/shock-mount - made by Rycote or other manufacturers - and stays fitted. The Connector attaches securely to the boom pole. Connection/release is then a quick and easy 'click' in/pull-out operation! This allows for super-fast swapping of your different mics (and windshield kits) on and off perfect for all manner of production sound recording applications!
Rock solid, noise-free connection.
Crucially for professional audio use, the PCS-Boom Connector is designed to remain completely secure and noise-free during use... essential for anything going on the end of a boom pole! The thread connection is a high-grade aluminum, with a twin locking screw arrangement. The connection grips the boom pole thread, without damaging it - and makes for a reassuringly solid connection.
Easy connection & release mechanism.
With its easy one handed 'click-in' attachment and pull collar release mechanism, the PCS-Boom Connector provides incredibly fast and easy operation. The positive 'click' on being pressed in and fitted gives you the confidence that it is connected and secure. Releasing is a simple matter of pulling down the outer collar on the PCS-Boom Connector - completely intuitive.
Ingenious design - rigorously tested.
The PCS-Boom Connector has been designed to provide a more convenient way to attach and remove kit on and off your boom pole - whilst also providing a sturdy and quiet connection in use. We've rigorously tested the PCS-Boom Connector in development - exposing it to all sorts of extreme conditions and subjecting it to thousands of operational 'cycles' - all to help ensure long and reliable service.
