If you are looking for a convenient way to capture interviews on the go, the MicroBOOM pole from Zacuto is the perfect solution. Unlike traditional boom mics that require a dedicated sound person, the MicroBOOM mounts directly to the camera, allowing for a one-person operation.
This telescoping carbon fiber pole is designed for use with a variety of video-shooting devices, including smartphone rigs, camcorders, DSLRs, ENG cameras, and cine cameras. It features an internally routed audio cable, allowing for seamless audio recording. The pole can be extended from 14 to 35 inches and set at multiple angles for the best shot.
The MicroBOOM is lightweight and easy to use, weighing just 6 oz. It is compatible with most microphones that have a 3.5-mm connector and weigh no more than 60 g. Additionally, it is quick-release-mounted to the camera via a user-supplied NATO-type rail, making it a versatile option for different camera models.
Currently available for preorder on the Zacuto website, the MicroBOOM is priced at $125 until Feb. 14th, after which the price will increase to $165. This innovative boom pole is a game-changer for on-the-go interviews and video shooting.
