Re: K-Tek K-Zep Windscreens and Questions

I think what they are referring to w/r/t 'cueing' is the action of
quickly pointing the mic towards a source when there is more than one
person speaking...
you can see this done on some of the 'making of' documentaries
included on DVD's where the boom person is tracking two actors who
have dialog by snapping a mic back and forth between them on the end
of an extended pole
the larger zepp weigh more and might possibly slow down the speed of
pointing/shifting the mic and add to joint strain over long periods
-- depending on the physical condition of the boom op...
I've done a little boom work for film but I'm taking a guess here
since I can only imagine using an oversized zepp might slow things
down a little for someone smaller with less strength...
