I just tested this with a cruddy 10' Røde boompole, extended, with an OktavaMod MK012 (about the weight of a Schoeps), and while the pole droops (and will bob up and down, so watch out for that introducing tremolo in your tracks), and it would TOTALLY work. Don't extend it so far, though, and it is obviously much more rigid. If you want something more robust for mounting mics on vehicles, go here and be totally inspired - this doesn't actually cost that much to rig: http://www.diyphotography.net/take-cool-car-photos-with-a-diy-specialized-car-rig Michael: If you wanted to mount a boompole/fishing pole, it would just take two Super Clamps with a two-sided stud: one clamp for the object, one for the boompole.
