Cinema Devices XO-Boom Support System

The Cinema Devices XO-Boom is a support system that moves the weight of a boom pole from the operator’s arms and shoulders to the hips, while keeping the control of a handheld boom.

Cinema Devices built it on the weight transfer they developed for their Ergorig camera support. One arm stays free to ride levels on the mixer, and the weight stays off the back through long takes.

Fit and Comfort

A series of adjustable straps fits the system to the operator’s height and build, and padding at the shoulders and back spreads the load. It allows a wide range of motion for following the action, and its controls adjust the fit during a shoot without stopping it.

Good to Know

The XO-Boom won the Most Useful Product award at the 2022 Hollywood Sound Expo. It is built to military specifications, with a two-year workmanship guarantee. The boom pole and microphone are not included.
