Flashpoint Professional Camera / Camcorder Stabilizing Handle Bracket

Good handle overall, but it is too small to hold camera with extra battery grip. If your camera doesn't have a battery grip then it would be a great asset to your equipment. Extremely light weight(without camera attached), and allows for some really cool angles.

I likes it a lot. Awesome! Inexpensive well built quality. It feels comfort with carry around and filming shot. Excellent for beginner experiences. Some camera model mounted pan may be technically problem. Due heights of mounting stud which result slightly secure or damages if over-tighten. I recommended with washer disc through mounting stud from underneath of the pan (unscrew all the way out then install them and put back together) which prevents losing washer in the future. Foam handle will eventually weary-out after several usage. Just wrapping around with any sticky tapes or wear ones with working glove. Cons: Not design for sporty or action which due low-cost quality may damages. Heavy objects will crease plastic frame such as handle properly.

Great for outdoor & action shoots. Compare to others, adorama price is very less.

Use it at church for mobile shots for short videos, video updates, blogs, interviews when obviously not using tripod.

I purchased this device to support a flash slave unit to light large areas. I will have to make an adapter to attach my SONY ALPHA 350 flash shoe, but that shouldn't be too difficult! The unit should be sturdy enough to support the weight of most flash units.

Haven't had a chance to use it much yet. Did have to get a washer to stabilize my D5100, but with the washer, rock steady. Don't know how more expensive versions of this would be any better.

First off, I've seen the same product elsewhere for more money, sometimes double Adorama's price! It won't replace a SteadiCam or similar product, but it does make DSLR video easier, steadier, and more creative than sitting on a tripod. Presumably it would work well with smaller camcorders too. One note: most DSLRs with battery grips won't fit comfortably; OTOH you can access the battery door.

Well this is a good stuff for my JVC GZHD7 and not that good with my NIKON D7000 you will need to use a nut to thigh the screw holder under the camera, other way the screw goes to the end but the camera is not thigh enough, beside that everything is good for the porpuse

This handgrip is comfortable to use, attaches easily to the bottom of your camera or camera battery grip. It has a higher clearance than other brands that I looked at that were more expensive. I chose this one mainly for the 5" clearance, so that it would take my Panasonic Lumix GH2 with battery grip attached and it does that wonderfully. The on camera flash can not be used if you wish to take pictures but for me I using the handgrip for video so that's not an issue. This does need an adjustment in order to use it as my battery grip has a short 1/4" threading on the base. This is easily remedied by 1-2, 1/4" x 1-1/4" fender washers purchased from your local [@] for $0.20 each UPC 030699201006. I used 2 Fender washers and it cost me about $0.52 to get a tight fit/attachment. The camera does not wobble. It is in there very securely. You add the Fender wshers by removing the original knob underneath and placing the washers between the knob and the base and re-inserting the screw. Voila. IMHO 2 washers may be the max you can use. It is an inexpensive and easy fix to have a steady, inexpensive handgrip for your DSLR. The product itself is of good quality. I have no fears that it would not support the weight of my GH2 camera. It's just what I needed and am very happy with this product.I gave it 4/5 stars only for the minor adjustment that I needed to make and for me that was not such a big deal for a product that is great in every other arena. Seriously, a $0.52 addition to the cost and a little footwork/handwork on your part shouldn't be that big of a deal either.Happy Filming!!

I saw this first on YouTube and bought it the next day. Most units like this one start at [$], then you have to start adding things to it. For myself, I felt I needed stabilizing handles, like the control you have on a 'Fig rig,' so I added those. A great value for the hobbyist.
