I ended up buying 3 pieces. I use them as a mini stand for my rear cameras (a7s and a6500), both come complete with cage, external battery, shotgun mic, side handle and flashlight. The footage is really stable when mounted on a tripod/monopod and I didn't notice it moving/shaking as you went about your work. Update: This is not a super power mode. After a few months of use, it will break and you can't easily reassemble it. Of the 3 I've bought now I only have one Frankenstein which I ended up putting together from parts that survived from all 3.
