Re: possible for boom mic to be too close?
Additionally, the further away from the talent, the more wiggle room the talent has as the pattern gets wider further away from the mic.
If the action is moving too fast to keep the boom 2-3 ft...

Re: RC Airplanes and Helicopters
If you're thinking cameras, gopro, contour, replayXD would be no issue for the helis in the video which sounded like .60 or .90 size. Small palmcorders shouldn't be a problem either. However, the...
