I've seen pens that are 5 times the price and just bought one for $5 less so I had to replace it with the SmallRig version. I also added a railrod to my first small rig handle which is a great touch. The ones I just bought in a moment of weakness (you'll notice my reviews aim for highest quality at lowest price - out of business habit), the descriptions are now attached so nobody's to blame and honestly I use those. Instead, I just added it to a mini rig that I used for a mirrorless camera. This system is fine. I figured I would need side and top handles for the tank cage and reconsidered my thoughts. This is a great grip, hard stop cold shoe, 4 M5 mounts, with 3 1/4/20 in front and 1/4-3/8 alternating throughout the grip, WHAT'S GREAT. It seems BIG, it's big, it's as strong as the ridiculous almost identical one I paid almost $160 for, "I thought I was lacking in quality", I wasn't, it's a typical unequal price tag for high end brands in photography/film and to be honest I never see it fail, I usually smoke. Assembly AA++, quality, material, price. It's a business and a pleasure to keep.
