One of my coolest gadgets for 2010
This stabilizing system is quite unlike any other I have seen. Out of the box (a very well designed and presented package), you can tell that quality was not spared. It's a plug and play system, as all you have to do is lock your camera to the mounting plate and you are on your way to new explorations. The grip is truly designed for any hand. It's the most comfortable way to hold a camera. You don't feel like you have to put it down in order to continue with a conversation as you would if yo...

camtrol is versatile on the go
My Camtrol is reliable and very functional. I don't tend to carry a camera bag, my Camtrol is great for not only protecting my camera but also stabilization when filming. The multi-adjusting joints allows me to get my camera into any position depending on the shot. The versatility of this product is what sets it apart from its competitors. I really enjoy the large handle which makes for a firm grip when riding along trying to get the shot.
Camtrol is the first customizable ergonomic hand held action and movement stabilizing platform for DV/ DSLR cameras with free angle LCD displays. Its uniquely engineered features combine to form a multifaceted mechanism. Camtrol is comfortable and reduces shooters' fatigue while allowing the user unrestricted one handed operation. This creates unparalled range of motion that separate the camera from the user's body that gives Balance, Support, Freedom.
Camtrol's Receiver Post for Remote and Accessories(RP/RA) allows Camtroller and V slope bracket to be attached to the action control grip with wires running through the hollow grip making it cable free. Your cable then plugs into LANC port or digital L line. The RP/RA also accepts accessory shoe adapter which connects light panels and microphones.
Camtrol's exclusive "true feel grip" provides the shooter a "grab n shoot" for fast access and it provides a secure, safe handle that helps deliver the operator steady floating and dramatic moving shots. The action control grip works for both right and left handed operators. With its three locking ball joints and its vertical stabilizer bar, the Camtrol can be set to numerous customized configurations that allow the user to remain standing upright while capturing ground level shots, overhead shots and around-objects shots.
With Camtrol "shift on the fly" you can quickly adapt to changing conditions safely setting your Camtrol down anywhere. Adjustments to Camtrol are made with your hands, no special tools required. Camtrol's exclusive centering channels help the operator to find and adjust the camera's center of gravity to give perfect balance. Camtrol's Channeled Mounting Plate (CMP) provides a secure attachment for operators cameras as well as anti-slip and anti-vibration protection. With its legs retracted it acts as a skid plate and protects cameras from impacts and scratches.
The Grand has quad pod retractable landing legs(QPRL) which are designed so the operator can safely and quickly set his camera down and reconfigure or tweak his current setup. With the landing legs deployed Camtrol also becomes a safe and stable editing and dubbing platform. By deploying he front legs and by retracting the rear legs the Grand becomes a self imaging video trainer.
Camtrol's 1/4" mounting thumb screw guides and secures all cameras to the CMP. The bottom of the thumb screw has a 1/4in thread that accepts quick release plates, monopods, or tripods. The operator can now change between free shooting and static shots quickly and easily.
