Mic Boom Arms & Fishpoles

You will see Mic Boom Arms & Fishpoles on most film and television production sets. As an intergral part of the production, the audio portion must be handled with as much care as the camera. Mic Boom Arms & Fishpoles are great production tools in that they have the distinct advantage of freeing up subjects from having to worry about microphones. They can move freely without disturbing the sound, and concerns about microphone technique are eliminated. Good Mic Boom Arms & Fishpoles will have some sort of isolating mechanism for the microphone to prevent vibrations being transferred to the mic. This may involve elastic suspensions, foam padding or a rubber mic holder.
