Fishpole
Use
The
trick to using a fishpole or boom is to remember that
they should always be pointed at the subject and angling
up or down--never horizontally.
Here's
why: Booms and fishpoles are highly directional. If
you point them horizontally at your subject, they will
pick up her voice AND all the noisy stuff going on behind
her.
This
explains why camcorder mikes often do a lousy job: they
point horizontally--and often pick up unwanted sound
behind the subject.
