Zacuto Sent Us Their Micro Boom - And It's a Tiny Audio Powerhouse!
Let's be real - audio is the unsung hero of any great video production. Sure, the visuals might grab people's attention first, but it's the sound quality that really makes a video shine. That's why we were over the moon when the team at Zacuto offered to send us their brand new Micro Boom kit to check out.
As long-time fans of Zacuto's innovative camera gear, we practically jumped at the chance. A few days later, the package arrived, and let's just say we were already hearing the angelic chorus of perfect audio in our heads.
Right off the bat, the Micro Boom impressed us with its sleek, lightweight build. This thing is seriously compact, but don't let the size fool you - it's built like a tank. The sturdy aluminum construction feels solid and durable, while the ergonomic design makes it a breeze to manoeuvre and position.
But enough about the looks - let's talk performance. We wasted no time hooking up the Micro Boom to our camera and putting it through its paces. From bustling city streets to quiet indoor settings, this little audio dynamo delivered crystal clear sound every time. The clarity and richness of the audio capture is next level. We love our tentacle set up a mic hel as close to your subject as you can get it will always sound richer, warmer and fuller
The extended reach of the boom arm meant we could position the microphone exactly where we needed it, without ever having to worry about it creeping into the shot. And the smooth, precise movement of the articulating joints made fine-tuning a total breeze.
After spending several weeks integrating the Micro Boom into our video workflow, it's not difficult to see it becoming a part of our audio toolkit. The convenience and performance it provides has taken our production value to new heights, and we're confident it can do the same for any creator looking to up their game
