VASI Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 If you mean gloves for cable wrangling, I like these: http://www.filmtools.com/sethothanglo.html or for fingerless these: http://www.filmtools.com/sefilegl.html For booming, I try to boom without gloves, but if it's too cold, I like wearing glove liners such as these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018BGEWS/ and for extra warmth, I would wear any regular cotton gloves over them (if you get them fingerless, and you wear the glove liners underneath, your fingers can still remain usable). Thank you Jose! Currently I'm using a regular cotton gloves for booming in the cold, but my sound mixer still hear a handling noise (cold fingers in a cold boompole). He told me to buy gloves something like this, but I don't think the leather will help a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frias Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thank you Jose!

He told me to buy gloves something like this, but I don't think the leather will help a lot. No problem. I own the exact same gloves, but have never attempted to boom with them (I use them mainly for handling cables, as in my experiencing booming with gloves (specifically sliding down the pole) tends to produce noise that gets picked up by the mic. However, in the cold, you just can't help it. Let us know how you like them for booming if you end up getting them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 vas: " but I don't think the leather will help a lot. " the leather may have better traction on the pole, so less slipping noise... maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saadasound Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Depending on the job, especially if I have a 3rd or not, this is what I'll bring along: Without a 3rd, I'll use a Conterra Chest Pouch, which comes in handy when needing to carry a lot of wires, wiring accessories, etc. The radio holder is actually a great buttoning hook for headphones, when I use them. Inside will be: Medical Scissors Sharpie/Pen Tweaker Wiring accessories (stickies, moleskin, transpore, joes stick, etc) Sides (if given them) Flashlight, which has its own velcro pocket on the bottom of the pouch I'm mostly using my Etymotic ER-4's with custom ear molds as my monitoring, but I'll throw the cans on if need be. I always have a knife, for cutting and intimidation... I have a homemade boom apple box And of course, I always bring my trusty XL VDB straight cable boom pole, which I love so very much.

Carlos Corral Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I actually use fingerless magic gloves as a boom op: http://www.amazon.com/Pack-Magic-Fingerless-Glove-Black/dp/B00306GBVI/ref=sr_1_12?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1397749335&sr=1-12&keywords=magic+gloves They let me slide the boom pole around like a pool cue if I need to make any quick movements on set. I usually use these gloves when I'm boom oping poles 9ft.-12ft. Once I hit 16ft to 20ft. poles, I'll swap for some grip gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ju Griz Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 One of the mixers I work with told me golfing gloves are great for booming... I didn't try them because I don't like experimenting too much with gear on features and my hands are already rather silent. Anyone else have any experience with these?
