Clip Harness
moulded harness Line system

Say hello to an awesome new Injection moulded system, resistant to salt, friction, temperature variation and UV. They’re also adjustable and easy to put on without removing the boom back end. I admit, I was sceptical but after testing I can fully recommend them.

Why injection moulded lines I hear you ask? Well, apart from the high density material, it’s true there are less moving parts, plus the synthetic material can be controlled and consistently manufactured. That also means there’s no metal or rope to degrade, and no outer plastic covering to wear through or snap.

Clip use a simple method of a hard plastic slip-on clip and a length of softer, doubled-up ‘line’ with ‘ratchet’ grooves for adjustment moulded in. You simply thread the line into the clip, around the boom arm and then out through the clip, adjust to your preferred setting within the range -all marked on the plastic line - and then ‘click’ the clip shut to tighten. They come in either 20-26’ or 26-32’ sizes.

The nice thing about the adjustment is there’s no flappy extra line dangling around to annoy you or catch on your hands. The clips also don’t seem to mark your boom grip out any more despite being harder than webbing, and the two types of boom grip I tried them on, one ‘spongy’ and one higher density, held tight without any slippage.
