That photo represents my number one pet peeve. I have actually seen DVD extras of a Hollywood movie where the boomman is holding his boom like that.

Kick my dog, steal my wife, just dont hold the boom like that! >:(

Blue--booming "honor guard" style is almost guaranteed to get the boom pole into the frame. The boom should be parallel to the ground and above your head. There's a French company that sells a two piece version that has a vertical pole with rollers on the top and the bottom fits into a pocket or harness. The boom sits on the rollers, so that it gets held properly. You'd think a few more manufacturers would come up with something similar ;).

It's too easy (IMO) for consumer to just make his own to be profitable.

Just because I said something good about it doesn't I'm going to use that. Plus the thing looks like it needs a little viagra ;D

That thing is called the "kit cool" from boom audio. It's pretty cool, especially if you are booming and mixing at the same time. It frees up one of your hands.
