KSQD1 - Squid Universal Mount for boom poles and other tube shaped objects
KSQD1 - Squid Universal Mount for boom poles and other tube shaped objects
The Squid, a multi-purpose mounting solution to connect a transmitter, monitor, mobile device or remote to a boom pole, tripod or other tube shaped objects. Made of strong elastic silicone, the lightweight, (0.74oz / 21 g) Squid solidly holds the device with a silicone barrier that shields equipment, acting like a shock absorber. Made of see-through silicone, the low-profile Squid lets the user easily view controls and status monitors. With the trend toward wireless booming and smaller size transmitters, itās become common to attach a transmitter to the top end of the boom pole. Boom operator Kevin Cerchai explains āI found that by attaching the transmitter to the top of my boom pole, I get better RF range. However, previously when the transmitter was plugged directly into the microphone on the shock-mount, it didnāt stay in place well. Now the Squid solves this problem by creating a buffer between the transmitter and the pole and secures it in place. It also removes tension from the connector.ā The Squid will hold mini-transmitters as well as traditional plug-on transmitters. And the elastic silicone firmly holds the device even when swinging the boom. Another popular application is to attach an on-board viewing monitor or a mobile phone to the bottom section of a boom pole. It works with any tube shaped object like the legs of a tripod, the antenna mast, C-stands, handles on sound carts and more - even bicycles. Cameras with gimbals are finding their way to the top of boom and camera poles, creating drone-like shots without the risk, expense and permits associated with drones use. The Squid allows viewing devices and remotes to be easily attached to the bottom section of a pole, to help get that dynamic drone look. The Squid is an ideal tool for any boom operator, sound mixer or other crew on the set. The Squid is also a great phone mount for bikes. Only includes Silicone Squid!
