hand grips for camera/camcorder

[realspeed]

Ok why so many? the first one I got is third from the left cost about £7 . never liked it the head angle was not right had to hold the hand at an awkward angle. had to use it wrong way around

second one i bought which was expensive was the second from the left by Sony. this enabled the camera to be controlled va the switches on it. it also made opened up a small tripod. Far too short to use properly

Third one I bought on the left same finctions as the Sony but very cheap and poorly made in my opinion .didn’t close up well from being used as a tripod

So today just got the one on the extreme right at last found one I can be happy with, long handle and straight about £16 delivered and only one with a screw thread underneath

The thing is if carrying a camera/camcorder for some time it needs to be balanced (at least for a camcorder) to make holding easier.

it seems to me some company people come up with an idea but don’t make a trial version to check for design faults. More a case of “Get it into production” and no thought about the end user
