Description
Cinema Devices XO-Boom – Camera Boom Support System
The Cinema Devices XO-Boom is a revolutionary camera boom support system engineered for professional filmmakers, cinematographers, and Steadicam operators who demand smooth, extended movement with precision control. Designed to integrate seamlessly with popular stabilization rigs like the Ergorig and Steadicam, the XO-Boom offers dynamic vertical lift while significantly reducing operator fatigue.
With the XO-Boom, camera operators can achieve graceful, floating boom shots that would typically require cranes or jibs, all while maintaining mobility and stability. Whether you’re tracking a subject through tight spaces or shooting long takes on uneven terrain, the XO-Boom provides a flexible, lightweight, and operator-friendly solution.
Built with durability and ease-of-use in mind, this boom arm system is ideal for high-end productions, commercials, music videos, and indie films—allowing DPs to capture complex motion with minimal gear.
The XO-Boom support system transfers the weight of a boom pole from the operator’s arms and shoulders to their hips, without compromising the stability and control of conventional operation and intuitive mic cuing.
An elegant ergonomic solution for boom operation. XO-Boom (Development code name: “Ok boomer”) allows for back-saving “weightless” boom operation and takes all weight and pressure away from arms, shoulders and back allowing for painless long takes. Designed by the filmmakers who brought camera operators the Ergorig System, boom operators and location sound mixers now get some much needed relief and career extension.
