Any reason this couldn't also double as a mic boom for holding a shotgun mic over the talent in close interview setups?

It should work for a Microphone, assuming you have a holder for the Mic that fits the 1/4" camera fitting. The other thing to be aware of is that a heavy Mic will need a larger counter balance or the unit will tip over. The Mic cords can easily be tied to the boom with cable ties,or Velcro straps to keep them out of the way.

It is definitely sturdy enough for a mic. However, there is no mounting hardware at the end of the boom, so you will need to rig up a clamp.

The camera has 1 (one) Stereo 3.5mm input jack on the front for the shotgun mic. I'm not sure how well the splitter idea would work or what the quality would be like, but in theory it should at least be functional. I know they make battery powered interfaces for that sort of thing that can combine two XLR inputs into a stereo signal. Good luck!

It would be next to impossible to use is mic for stage without an external hand recorder to plug it into (like a zoom h1) even then, it wouldn't be very convenient because of the long cord the mic has. Also, I have found that this mic introduces a lot of noise when the talent using the mic moves around a lot.

Well, if you can route the cable in there, the button mike will surely work. The boom most definitely won't.

This is quite a heavy-duty microphone I will warn you that the base is rather heavy depending on your type of work. A shotgun microphone or basically any microphone from what I can tell would need to be screwed on to the extension arm at the top the arm looks to be about 6 inches long. It has a very long extending boom in my opinion,

I would say no. No shotgun mic is going to do a great job at that distance. It really needs to be a couple of feet away to work well. I would suggest using a lavaliere mic.

you would need to get a BOOM mic for your helmet. my specific helmet is full faced so my mic attaches inside my helmet

Actually it's too light and tends to fall over. It also would be a terrible way to hold a boom mic. If you need a low budget boom mic holder use a painters extension pole and rig up a shock mount from the mic from rubber bands and PVC pipe cult into rings.

You would probably go with the boom microphone option versus the wired. It supports both.

I just used a boom mic stand without the boom. Here's a picture: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151061528266019&l;=1bc1419db0

Yes, but you could also use the shickmount included with thr boom. Its a little tight fit for the mic but its ok to use.

Yes. The mic boom is very flexible, yet rigid. Will adjust to any position. In addition, Zelher is very responsive. I carry my headset almost everywhere and I'm not always gentle with it. I broke the headband. They made arrangements for me to purchase a replacement :)

actually there is a mini audio jack on the right side of the top handle (just behind the shotgun mic). It is concealed behind a rubber cap

Yes, you would just have to use the boom mike. The wired mike wouldn't work.

It probably can, but if you extend the boom to far out it will fall. Due to the weight of the microphone.

Microphone is not included with the boom. The ATR-6550 has been an excellent microphone thus far. Excellent sound quality
