Boom Mate

About the BoomMate Boompole Holder:

Rent the BoomMate BPH Boompole Holder in Los Angeles from F22 Studios. The BoomMate gives hands-free boompole operation on set, designed for long-form panel and roundtable recording, lecture and conference capture, seated interviews, locked-off narrative coverage, and any situation where a microphone needs to stay in one place longer than an operator can comfortably hold it.

It attaches to a standard grip head, so it mounts on any C-stand or light stand already on the floor, and it works with all brands and diameters of boompole — you are not matching it to a specific tube. Steel construction with a powder-coat finish keeps it sturdy and scratch-resistant through repeated location work.

The version 2 design is four inches shorter than the original, which shifts the load balance forward and makes the hold more secure when a boompole is not fully extended — the exact situation where a longer holder tends to feel tippy.

The practical benefit is consistency. Holding a rigged boom — pole, shock mount, shotgun, often a blimp — above frame is genuinely tiring, and the first thing to suffer is steadiness: a small tremor at the handle becomes a large wander at the tip. On the BoomMate the microphone stays exactly where it was placed through a fifteen-minute panel, and the operator stays fresh for the shots that actually need a moving boom.

Practical use cases include panels and roundtables, lectures and conferences, static narrative dialog scenes, product and demonstration shoots, and multi-hour interviews. Pairs naturally with our K-Tek, Auray, and Rode boom poles, our shotgun microphones, and the C-stands in our grip inventory. Available now for rental at F22 Studios in Burbank, serving productions across greater Los Angeles.
