Boom pole and Sound bag suggestion, etc.

[Jeremy Wiles]

Anyone know of a boom pole they've had a good experience with? Are there one's that are designed for shorter people where the pole is articulated to help get the mic above the subject and out of the frame? I'd also like to have the option of a harness to hold the pole.

Also, can the Sound devices 302 mixer and 702 recorder, plus two lectrosonics receivers fit into the Petrol PSDMB302 bag? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Mixer_Bag.html

If there's a better suggestion on a bag, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for the help!

For articulated boom pole, have a look at the "Dipstick Articulated Boom Segment" here:

Look at ktekbooms.com for a good boompole. They also have articulated versions. You can save a little bit by buying their Avalon series. K-Tek are widely used in the industry.

Last week I ordered the Sound Devices CS-4 Production Case ($215) with the CS-W ($99) removable accessory case.

Haven't received them yet but they are built for Sound Devices by CamRade.

Hey, let me know how that case works out for you when you get it in. I like the k-tek articulated arm, but I'm cringing over the $800 price tag. That's friggin crazy just for a pole!

I am favorable to Gitzo poles, they aren't articulated, but you can buy add-on articulation. Another option is to hire a tall boom op, I'm 6'2", comes in handy for booming and adjusting lights.

I've got a Gitzo pole. Do you know where you can buy those add-ons?

You are going to be very happy with petrol bag...orange inside,well made...
As for the pole...hmm, so many options. If you can, rent and try first.
For add-ons, ask trew audio or gotham sound for advice.
Just call them
