what kind of mic are you using?

 

That is a Sennheiser 816 in a foam windscreen.  The sound mixer Jimmy Sabat has custom metal mic hangers that use large rubber bands and he prefers not to use a zeppelin unless it's REALLY windy.  I've had the pleasure of working with him several times and shaving off a few pounds at the end of the pole makes a world of difference.  I also found this setup to be better for cueing which is imperative with that mic.

Wish more sets and locations allowed for this. 

 

That said I have always disliked booming from over a flat or the gantry. Could have something to do with the fact I am terrified of heights, or I find my depth perception off.
