How to connect a Gitzo GB-320 boom pole to a Azden SGM-PDII shot gun mic?
I ordered these sepearte and im hoping that they are compatible. I need some help!
Here are the links to the actual products!
I have the XLR Cable from pearstone (20ft).

Boom Pole: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/609124-REG/Gitzo_GB_320_GB320_2_Section_Aluminum_Boompole.html
According to the image, that mic comes with a "clamp mount" that slides in to a camera's accessory shoe.
According to the other image, the end of that boom pole has a screw mount - but I can't tell if it is a normal 5/8" thread that mic stands use or 3/8" thread that many boom poles (like my K-Tek) use - or something else. And the specs at BH don't say. Nether does the Gitzo web site

In either case, consider getting a shock mount. This will isolate the metal mic body from the boom pole so the noise from the boom-ops person's hands rubbing the boom pole or the mic cable hitting the boom pole won't transfer to the mic element. The rubber band mounts dampen the transfer of the extraneous noise a LOT.
I use a Sabra SSM-1

And I had to get a thread adapter

If you plan to use the mic outdoors or in a breezy environment, a fuzzy (also called a dead cat) or a zepellin will reduce/eliminate wind noise. I like Rykote products. This

should work, but CHECK with BH folks. The diameter is good - the length is a question. That is a very short mic (less than 6 inches).
