What @justin-pearson mentions in his post is more of what I'm looking for: A boom arm that can be mounted on a lightweight tripod for field use. I do have a Boom Buddy for my c-stands, but I can't justify hiking into a location with a c-stand! :-) This seems like an underserved niche in the audio grip market..! | |

The most expensive ones have smooth horizontal and vertical axes at the mount point, and controls for their telescoping arms (cranks or electronic). Most booms of this type are tripod mounted and can reach anywhere in the studio from where they're installed. And on top of that, you usually only need one hand to control it. They are awesome, I just don't have a very good knowledge of manufacturers. | |

I've done that one many static scenes just to save my arms. If you're looking for studio booms, Atlas makes good quality ones. I guess I'm still a little confused as to what you're looking for. | |
