What straps work for wrist & boompole?
What straps work for wrist & boompole?
The other answer might work for the wrist but not a boompole. Trust me I tried it. The back of the F3 is flat so there will be extra space between the strap and the boompole no matter how tight you try to make it. The F3 will slide around. Maybe theres some rubber grip you could add or you could 3d print something that shapes the back of the f3 around the boompole, but best solution I found would be to use a clamp with a 1/4inch screw.
