I don't understand that if the point of position where the balance and position is the body - why is there not a pole that goes to the ground to support the pole - like every c-stand or fixed mic boom stand. Seems like to me that this is how it was done traditionally and then grandfathered down through time. It would be like a camera operator holding a jib with their arms. Makes no sense to me - I watched this to see maybe why? Still have no idea the advantage of holding your arms up to hold onto something that could be supported and operated pretty much exactly the same way.

Because, actors move. They not only move physically through space, but they also turn their heads. When you’re using a shotgun or hypercardioid microphone with a narrow pick up pattern, you must constantly re-position the microphone when the actors turn their heads to ensure their voice falls inside the pick up pattern. There are times that we do use a stand to hold the boom hole, but that’s limited to interviews or shots where the actor does not move their heads.

That's how I like to approach my training courses - there's so much materials, there's no room for fluff.
