If you buy the 705 in the kit form from TT you can
easily construct it as a boom mike.  Put the
components of the base section into a project box,
extended the element cable with shielded mic cable and
attached the flexible neck and mic element to a set of
decent headphones and it works great. Like you, I
tried many mics and the Ten Tec works the best. You
save 20 bucks if you buy the kit and put it together
yourself. Takes about 30 minutes.
