A collapsible, extendable Rode boom pole, extends as far as 1.8m via two telescopic twist-lock extension poles. Long enough that I've no effective way of photographing it, as you can see!

Unfortunately I cannot find a holder for a boom mic so that isn't currently provided. :(

Manfrotto 290 / MT294A3 aluminium tripod

Double collapsing legs and raisable neck, maximum height around 2 metres - as my expert photography demonstrates. Complete with spirit level to get Wes Anderson standards of flatness. Adjustable on all three planes, this spinny boi can turn in circles forever, even making owls jealous, and 120 degrees range of movement on nose/tail and left/right 'lean' angles.

Well used but still fully functional - a little sticky sometimes when panning but nothing major.

You read correctly, this here is a prime specimen of restored vintage frame (medium to large size, from 5ft 8/9 upwards I'd say). My best guess is that it's an old French frame from the 70s or 80s - but I may be wrong.

Some lovely original/retro features such as funky brake cables - front & back, stainless pedals and rust. (see last two photos for examples of a little wear and tear on the frame, but nothing major, it's character!)

Near-new single-speed chainset with  42/16 ratio - not too  hard but not too weak, just avoid St Michael's Hill!

Currently rocking road-standard 700X23c tire on the rear wheel and a sliver-thin 700x20c on the front, super swift and agile and it could cut down a tree at speed!

A great bike I often ride myself - so it's kept in good nick.

Cheers!

*Since discontinued after a successful career - this is not a H4n Pro!

A run-of-the-mill for anything above amateur film-making, this microphone accepts two external XLR microphones or records high quality sounds itself, easily good enough for film-sound, podcasts or even a low-key musical recording. Its in-built mics are field-adjustable and record damn-crispy stereo. If you really want to do everything on one device you can even record four-track directly on the zoom itself. All in all it's very handy, thus the 'handy recorder' title, I suppose.

My particular model is in full working condition (they're sturdy devices (don't throw it off a cliff or anything though please)), except for two things:
The first is a little bit of a nuisance. The SD slot is jammed and so it won't spring out cards and often damages them on their way out or in. As a result I've left a 2GB SD card (enough for a number of hours of sound) in the device - please don't remove it! - just use the USB cord the mic comes with to transfer your files and clear the card.

The other thing is 'scuff' patch visible in the rear photo, where I attached it too tightly to a tripod. Cosmetic only.

Also comes with a mains lead, trim case to keep in and a kit-standard windshielding puff-ball hat thing.

Happy recording!
I also have a shotgun mic available to hire seperately.

You wanna shoot someone? Wanna shoot em good? You need a shotgun.

...a shotgun mic of-course, officer. Perfect for a huge variety of audio-recording scenarios for film or otherwise. As focused as they come, its narrow field is especially good for capturing the sound of a subject (person or otherwise) and very little of anything else. But you already knew that if you're here.

Using the included XLR cable this mic can be plugged direct into some cameras, all sound-kits, and some field-recorders like the Zoom H4n I also have listed - bundle discount possible. The quality of this microphone in particular has made it a favourite for those making good films on tight budgets. Variable range toggle is visible on the side of the microphone (it has its own photo), and this mic also comes with a 2 metre XLR cable (as mentioned) and a cute branded windshield.

Happy recording!

K-Tek Airo 4-section boom pole with foam padded grips.

One of the more comfortable cheap boom poles I have used! Easy to operate, nice action on all of the sections, and the knobs to release each section are big and chunky so are easy to adjust quickly. 

Aluminium construction makes it reasonably lightweight, though not as much as a carbon fibre pole.

Extended length     - 330cm (10'10")
Collapsed length    - 98cm (3'2.5")
Weight                      - 735g (1.6lbs)

Condition is fair - the foam grips are in good condition (though taped at the bottom to prevent splitting) and the pole itself is lightly scratched.
