From Boomhanger:

“We, boom swingers, all know that sometimes you need one or both your hands, for instance to check the script or to adjust your levels.

Also, in between takes, it’s convenient to give your arms some rest. No need anymore to collapse your boom-pole all the way (especially in those crowded low ceiling places), because now, there is the Boomhanger!”

Most audio harnesses’ shoulder straps come with horizontal or vertical smaller straps. Easily attach the Boomhanger to these straps, rest your boom and relax!

The Boomhanger comes with a quick link for use with vertical straps and a piece of self adhesive felt which can be applied when desired.

Even if you’re working as a boomoperator without a mixer or recorder around your neck, just grab any photocamera shoulder strap, attach the Boomhanger and enjoy your freedom.
