Manfrotto 157B-4 Microphone Boom 4 Sections

The Manfrotto 157B-4 is a lightweight, professional 4-section aluminum microphone boom pole extending from 67 cm to 223 cm, featuring a standard 5/8 (16 mm) Baby male stud with integrated 3/8 thread at the tip. At only 610 g, it offers the perfect balance of reach, rigidity, and portability for location sound recordists, boom operators, and video crews needing a reliable, no-flex pole for shotgun mics, wireless transmitters, or small fixtures.

This classic, field-proven boom is designed for daily professional use. Constructed from black anodized aluminum, it extends smoothly to a full 223 cm (over 7 ft) yet collapses to a compact 67 cm for transport. The top end terminates in a universal 5/8 Baby stud with a removable 3/8 threaded tip, fitting virtually every shock mount, mic clip, or accessory on the market. Positive twist-lock collars ensure zero slip under load, while the lightweight 610 g construction minimizes operator fatigue during long shoots.
