I have recorded audio for small indie film projects since the early 2000's and have used a ton of booms. I wish I had this one a long time ago. Most of the ones I have either owned or borrowed were aluminum. Those work fine and are light enough until you find yourself in a awkward position holding the mic for an extended period of time. A few ounces difference does make a difference in those situations. Also this one doesn't transfer the same or as much incidental sound. The aluminum ones you have to be careful of the mic cable rubbing inside or against the boom because that sound directly transfers to the mic. Its still possible with this boom but its not as delicate. This is definitely my new go to boom.

Well made and works well. It seems like it will be very easy to use and very durable. Much better than several others we have tried.

Call the Rizzler, because RAUBAY brought the BOOM! All jokes aside, this is a perfectly functional boom arm - maybe not studio-quality, but great for personal projects, small commercial shoots, or potentially even indie productions. The carbon fiber construction is lightweight yet sturdier than expected, and the cable routing options (both internal/external) allow for a wide range of uses. Need to mount an array for live performance capture? Screw a mic bar to the top, clip additional cables to the outside, and rig your recorder to the handle. Just standing there with a shotgun as part of a bigger production? Plug in the internal cable, route it to whatever outboard gear is in place, and rest assured you're getting a nice clean signal.

Okay, so I was getting tired of my mic stand constantly getting in the way during shoots. Enter this AUBAY Microphone Boom Arm, and let me tell you, it's a game changer! This thing is seriously sturdy, but somehow still feels like it weighs next to nothing. I can extend it way out to capture audio from across the room, or keep it compact when I need it close.The carbon fiber is super cool - it looks sleek and professional, and it's way lighter than those clunky metal ones. Plus, it comes with both 1/4" and 3/8" screws, so it works with basically any mic I throw at it.Honestly, if you're doing any kind of video production, podcasting, or even just recording yourself on camera, you need this boom arm in your life. It's made my setup so much more flexible and professional-looking. Highly recommend!

My last boom pole was a Gitzo carbon fiber model that was hard to beat. But that was when I owned a studio and could afford the most expensive gear. Now that I'm retired, all the gear I used to own is now with a new owner after selling the studio, so I find myself replacing some of the gear I still use and need. I was so happy to discover this boom arm from Raubay.This boom arm seems very well made and the carbon fiber seems top notch. It's in three sections and adjusting the length is a breeze. The XLR cable is preinstalled and runs inside the shaft. The cable is sheathed to prevent any handling noise inside the shaft. The cable seems to be a good quality cable.I use this boom pole with a big microphone blimp for wind mitigation, with a Rode shotgun mic inside. The blimp is kind of big, especially with the giant dead cat, but the pole has no issues supporting the weight. I wasn't familiar with the Raubay brand before, but I see they make quite a few nice products and are well regarded.A nice padded case is also included to keep the pole protected between uses. I always appreciate a good case!I know people will ask: Is this as nice as the Gitzo boom pole I used to own? Let's cut to the chase... nothing is better or even as good as a Gitzo, so it's not a fair comparison. Plus the Gitzo sells for around $360, so it's really hard to compare the two apples to apples. But overall, I have no complaints with this boom pole and think it's a tremendous value in comparison. It's comfortable to hold, well made, strong and lightweight. It's made from quality materials and has no problem dealing with my heavy mic system, and even comes with a padded case. On my current retirement budget, this is about as good as it gets in my opinion.

OK, this isn't a K-Tek or an Ambient or anything that a professional boom operator might use on a film set. But it costs 1/5th - 1/8th of what those cost. For the money, this is a great buy. It is a 9-ft pole. So you can probably use it for tight spaces or ENG or maybe some interviews, but not quite long enough for typical sets. The knurled aluminum twist locks are surprisingly very good. They are super firm with a quarter turn and don't have any give. That's great. It is a light pole as it is carbon fiber. That's also nice. The internal cabling feature with a side exit at the bottom is also nice so you can put the pole down without squishing the cable. But it has its limitations:The internal cable has just too much rattle noise hitting the walls even with slight movement. The bottom rubber boot is probably going to give up after a bit of use. Whenever boom poles use foam around the pole for handling, it is usually a sign of the manufacturer trying to mask the handling sound with a band-aid. You won't find the premier boom poles do that. Besides, the foam wraps are probably going to wear off after some use. I'd just rip it off now and be done with it.Overall, it handles ok. It is not high end, but it is not a painter's pole either. I am not sure you can buy a better pole for the price. The closest is probably the Boom Buddy that's a bit longer and costs a bit more. If booming is how you make a living, then maybe you want to spend more. But for the amateurs and enthusiasts, this is a good buy.
