  • Using a super clamp to mount your Zoom H4n on your boom pole – DSLR FILM NOOB

    www.dslrfilmnoob.com Super Clamps are handy little devices. You don’t have to use them with a manfrotto magic arm for them to come in handy. One Great use for them is mounting your zoom h4n. Using the stud that comes with your super clamp you can mount a threaded cold show adapter rcm.amazon.com or threading it into the super clamp stud: rcm.amazon.com Either way provide you with a great way to mount your zoom h4n to your boom pole. The zoom h4n is light enough that you wont be over taxed by the extra weight, and with the multiple mounting options on a super clamp you could always mount a wireless transmitter/receiver to send audio out or bring it in from other sources. When i have to operate the boom mic from long distances I often attach a wireless transmitter to send my audio back to the camera. That way my 7d has a good solid sync track for dualeyes to work with. Equipment used in this video: Canon t2i canon 35mm f1.4 Zoom h4n Cowboy super clamp and manfrotto super clamp Sennheiser g2 wireless transmitter
