An audio-video boom for use in suspending and positioning a camera and/or a microphone is disclosed which has dual wide degrees of articulation capability to facilitate accurate and precise camera and/or microphone orientation while requiring only a single audio-video boom operator. The improved audio/video boom has a first driving member which may be operated to pan (rotate or pivot) a camera and/or a microphone at the end of the audio/video boom via a first pair of cables driving a first driven member which pans the camera and/or a microphone. The audio/video boom also has a second driving member which may be operated to tilt the camera and/or the microphone via a second pair of cables driving a second driven member which tilts the camera and/or the microphone. A support apparatus may be used to support the audio/video boom from a harness worn by the microphone boom operator, with the camera and/or the microphone being adjustable by panning, swiveling, axially rotating, and selectively panning and/or tilting the camera and/or the microphone at the end of the audio/video boom.
