You might be wondering why background noise is an issue, after all, if a movie scene is filmed in a city then the viewer will naturally expect to hear the sound of city noises. The first noted use of a boom mike was on the set of Beggars of Life (1928) when director William A.

Designed for video production and broadcasting, the AT897 works great as both an on-camera mic or boom microphone, able to withstand most environments. Now the sound crew pops up and tries to set up around them, to the undisguised irritation of a camera crew… haha just kiddin (or am I?

Reduced hand noise is achieved by the polished surface of the outer tube, also providing better grip. One great way to manage your mic height is to have visual cues marked in your head as to where the edge of frame actually is.

The RØDE Boompole, Mini Boompole and Boompole Pro feature removable end caps, allowing you to install a cable of your choice neatly inside them. The Rode Boompole Pro is by far the best boom pole for filming, thanks to the size, weight, and durability. This pole is mainly assembled from existing Panamic components, so shares the excellent handling characteristics of the long established range. Like other condensers, this offers low self-noise, but more importantly, this boom microphone has a solid immunity to moisture.As the second most expensive option on this list, the NTG3B makes for an absolutely incredible boom microphone, offering you best-in-class sound with intuitive engineering. The RØDE Boompole, Mini Boompole and Micro Boompole are made of the former material, while the RØDE Boompole Pro and Micro BoompolePro are designed with the latter.
