If you'd like to save a few bucks, and still have a decent rig, you
might want to take a look at the CineCity zeppelin system:

For $175 you get a boom pole, a zeppelin that will work with short &
long mics by using an extension, 2 fuzzy covers for both lengths, a
hand mount & a boom mount adapter for the zeppelin, and 3 different
shape mic suspension holders.
I'm using one for my mics (Sennheiser ME66 & R0de NT4), but have
modified the suspension to handle the extra weight of the NT4... I
removed the front suspension mount & added an Audio-Technica AT8415
Low Profile Universal Shock Mount to the very front of the rail. This
not only helped with weight of the NT4, but it made the front of the
ME66 less wobbly. I can post a pic of the mod if anyone is interested.
