I currently own a pretty standard boom arm that's a rigid pole in multiple sections that can be attached together. When I was shopping around for booms, all the ones I found were of this same style. Recently I was watching the following video:

and he's using an adjustable, bendable boom for his key light that looks really handy. Anyone know what this style of boom arm is called and where to find them? Thanks.

I somehow missed that when I looked at what B&H had to offer. Thanks. A little pricey for my needs right now...but something to add to my wishlist!
