How to use the Rode PSA 1 as a camera mount and why!

Описание: Hello! The Provoked Prawn here with a video on how to use the Rode PSA 1 boom arm as a camera mount instead of a boom arm for a microphone. Bonkers eh? Well, I've been using a cheap and flimsy boom arm from Amazon which was designed to work with smartphones and I needed an upgrade, so I thought this might be the perfect time to try it out and then make a video about it. I'm also planning on doing a vs video to compare it with the Blue Compass - which is my usual favourite, so watch out for that soon!
