Question: which type of boom is best? If you’re looking or a quality boom arm, how do the Rode PSA1, Blue Compass, and Gator Frameworks 3000 stack up against each other? This video covers the pros and cons of each along with why I still personally prefer the Rode PSA1.

Booms. Beets. Battlestar Gallactica.
