Internal Cable is terrible

"This lasted only two shoots before the internal cable got uncoiled. Now the only way to fully retract the sections is to pull extra cable out from the top, which won't fit back down the tube.

"I really like this boom. It's my first one, but it's great that it has an internal cable instead of those annoying thread-through xlr booms.

Won't collapse all the way after use

    Cons

"It's basically ok but won't collapse all the way after use. The cable inside seems to be what prevents it from fully collapsing. I've twisted and turned it both ways but can't seem to get it back to its original fully collapsed length. "

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
