For my last year of school I am required to make a Major Design Project and I have decided to design and create a boom/ dolly.

For my research it would be beneficial to get peoples opinions of the current systems already available and what issues there are in portability and weight.

So if it isn't too much to ask may you please fill out this little questionnaire. You can be as detailed or as brief as you'd like, all information is helpful.

Age 30

Occupation filmmaker

Experience using booms 3 different models/types 35 productions

Have you ever used a boom in outdoor conditions? yes

What were the conditions like? sometimes windy

Were there any issues when trying to set up the boom? it takes awhile but it is repeatable and dependable.

When setting up the boom, how long did it take? depends on the type 20 mins to 2 hours

Do you find the weight of the boom to be too heavy to transport? some of them definitely are

Is transporting a boom ever an issue? yes absolutely

Thanks

Will
