The Dolica G100 Pistol Grip Head is a highly recommended product for photographers who are looking for a camera support that is sure and steady, yet fast and versatile. The G100 Pistol Grip enables you to position the camera right where you want it almost instantly. It is very fast and easy to use; just squeeze the grip, position the camera where you want it and release. The pistol grip tension lock is very strong and adjustable with an adjustment screw. The Dolica G100 enables photographers to set up a shot quickly and recompose just as quickly.  Designed for shooting subjects that do not stay in one position for very long, the G100 is able to instantly adjust the angle of my shot by just squeezing and releasing the grip handle. Operation is simple by pulling the trigger grip with the left hand and the camera and lens with on the right hand. Other features of this pistol grip are triple bubble levels to make sure the camera is level horizontally or vertically. This pistol grip is constructed for the professional in mind with an operating load of 18lbs and makes it suitable for entry, mid and pro level DSLRs. It has upgraded features such as extra-large quick release plate and heavy duty construction.

I like the flexibility of the mount, BUT the base that fits under the camera stick out at 90 degrees from the camera.  Since I leave this on most of the time it is a nuisance.

Awkard to use on the camera

I use the pistol grip when I was out shooting birds and butterflies. It was awesome. I used a Nikon 200-500 lens on it and it was  quick and easy movement. when you squeeze the handle you follow the subject and then release the lens locks in. you will have a little bounce with big lens but it stop quickly.it will add up to 6 inches on your tri pod or mono pod.

More then I thought

Purchased this one after a less expensive one failed me completely. This one is sturdy and appears to be durable. Great choice for under ($)

Works Great!

I've only used it a handful of times now, but overall I'm pleased. My complaints are that mine didn't come with the allen wrench needed to loosen and tighten the ball head, so I had to go out and buy one the first day when it loosened up too much after a few hours of use. Just make sure you have one on hand when you're out using the grip
