Rode 미니 붐폴

I was surprised how light this pole is—definitely makes long takes easier on the arms. The swivel head lets me angle the mic exactly where I need it without any awkward fumbling.

The swivel mount gives me so much more control over mic placement than my old fixed boom. It's lightweight enough to hold for long interviews without my arm getting tired. Really solid build for the price.

Took this on a two-hour interview shoot and my arm wasn't screaming by the end, which is the whole point of a lightweight pole. It locks down tight with no wobble, and the whole thing feels solid without weighing me down.
