Genus THE Charters Pole

Genus THE Charters Pole

Genus THE Charters Pole is the brainchild of Hollywood cinematographer Rodney Charters ASC. It is a multi-purpose lightweight carbon fibre pole that can be used on any production. Intended to be used by anyone who needs that high angle shot that is impossible to get any other way. It can be used to support a lightweight brushless gimbal, small VR cameras, a small compact camera or GoPro for photography, small lights, flexible LED panels or a microphone.

The Charters Pole has a unique combination of price, construction and performance that separates it from all other poles on the market.

Unlike a regular audio boom pole it is designed to carry a range of objects and has a standard 1/4 20 thread on top. It is available in 2 sizes, the 6m Production pole (1m closed length) and the 4.35m Compact pole (0.8m closed length). The Compact pole is short enough to fit in most large suitcases for travel.

The carbon fibre used is strong, yet lightweight, and is lightly ribbed to provide a firmer grip. Optional accessories will allow the pole to be clamped or attached to objects for greater stability.

The Charter's pole comes with a small ball head that can be used to mount accessories and compact cameras. Some cameras and gimbals will require specialised mounting and third party accessories for attachment.

The new feature of this pole now allows for adjustable thread length on the top point that you would fix your equipment to.  The new feature allows for versatility in fixing 3/8” as well as ¼ 20 screw threads, and with different depths.  Yes, you can alter the screw length to suit the product being supported!
