NEEWER NW-7000 Microphone Boom Arm, 3 Section Extendable Handheld Mic Arm with 3/8" & 3/8" to 5/8" Screw Adapter, 3ft to 8ft Adjustable Length,Auxiliary

I recently picked up a Rode shotgun mic and while a shock mount on my camera is sufficient for most of the projects I do, there are some occasions (i.e. field recordings, short narrative films) where a boom really comes in handy. I knew that I would likely only be shooting with a boom 2-3 times a year, so I didn't want to pay hundreds for a boom pole, but I also didn't want something flimsy or noisy. I didn't think I'd find anything that met my needs under $100, and I was skeptical about this one when I saw it was under $50. Honestly, the only reason I bought it was because I've been extremely happy with other Neewer products I've purchased (especially my dual dimmable/full color spectrum LED light kit, which is INCREDIBLE for the cost). My expectations were exceeded as soon as I took the pole out of the box. It's definitely "all there", much more metal than plastic, and it didn't feel like a toy. While it was solid, it wasn't "heavy", and really well weight-balanced. The extension locks are high-quality, and it includes three nice velcro straps for locking down your XLR cable. There are upper and lower padded hand grips that, while not incredibly comfortable, I don't see being an issue after a couple hours of use. I only have a few hours of time with this pole (mostly shooting field recordings), but I've experienced no unwanted noises caused by the pole, and it has worked well in a number of indoor and outdoor environments, from fully closed down to full extension. Great job Neewer--keep it up!

I was tempted to unscrew my sound guy's head when I saw him using this thing like a walking stick on set, but it held up well and still gets the job done. Sure there's fancier boom poles out there, but you don't need that, you want a boom pole that's cheap, reliable, and can reach the moon if you asked it to. Adjusts out to distances that will make your sound guy wish he worked out more, especially when you threaten to throw hands over how he's holding it, and the adjustment thingies are nice and tight, holding everything firmly, even when your noodle arm sound guy uses it. The head also supports your common shock mounts and all that jazz. Real nice and doesn't transfer a lot of sound up the pole.

Much more than I expected. It's made well and of sturdy material. Telescoping and retracting the mic and blimp is effortless. I love the cable management straps, too. As for the full weight (Shotgun Mic, Blimp housing, "Dead Cat", the 25 foot cable and the boom) its manageable on set.... at least for standard takes.

Decently priced and feels solid. I wouldn't see the need to upgrade unless it fell apart. I would prefer a different locking mechanism though.

Excellent pole for my 360 video camera.

What did it for me is the value. For someone just getting into doc projects this is vital to have. Sturdy, screw mount works, and is lightweight

Looks good and works as expected. For its economical price it IS NOT carbon fiber. So don't expect to hand hold it for an extended time. Much better than using a broom stick or PVC pipe. BTW it comes with the 1/4-20 screw mount for a shock mount mic adapter

This product has a great feel, good weight and is extremely durable. I've been using it on jobs from the day I first received it and it has proved to be dextrous and necessary in a wide variety of situations. I would definitely recommend this product. I am in fact going to order another one soon.

Ce n'est pas la plus légère mais elle est très bien lors de tournage.

職場の余興で映画を作るために買いました。 軽くて使いやすいです。

This is worth every penny. It is a bit heavy, that is one down side. In a trip, I happend to use this as a selfistick, the same withstood a car speed of 60 kmph. With my phone lacked on the other side to capture the road from 9 feet high. The feel not gives is of a drone, flying parallel to the road. For this price and build quality, this is a must buy.

This boom arm is of excellent quality and surprisingly affordable when compared to others in the market. It's sturdy build and large handle give it a solid feel in hand. With three extension sections, it is long enough for most situations. The arm also features three straps for easy microphone cable attachment, ensuring it doesn't dangle in the shot. I highly recommend this product.

I needed a boom pole that was light-ish and not too big. Reviews of micro poles mentioned how flimsy some were or had other issues. On arrival this seemed a bit bigger than needed BUT it has turned out perfect. 3 sections mean it is sturdier. Its not too heavy and 2 hand grips are just right. Its got a nice balance to it and for what I need ot it just right. Being Neewer it is good quality (I have several Neewer items) Orher plus points: screw sockets both end, packet with screw adaptors, good cable clips. Glad I paid a bit more to get a quality product that is perfect for my needs.
