I’d like to thank Nathan and the team at Wendy’s Broadcadst for all their help. They have been supplying me with custom cables, made to the highest standard over many year. The low profile connectors are hard to find, yet they normally ship the finished leads the day after ordering, often to studios or locations where I am filming and I’ve never had to ask for any adjustments or corrections; They are right first time, despite my requiring some unusual bespoke wiring. I’ve also benefited from real world advice about products and fault finding. Wendy’s Broadcast have made location sound far less stressful.
With the clever little boom buddy your microphone boom pole is gently held in the cradle with no clamping mechanism to cause damage. Boom buddy eliminates operator fatigue during long interviews etc...
Because the pole can be removed in a matter of only a few seconds, the boom buddy also enables location Sound Recordists to change from hand held microphone boom operation to a static situation momentarily, without re-rigging microphone or cables.We normally suggest using the second section of a 5 or 6 section boom as the point to rest in the Boom-Buddy cradle.
