Great for getting 3 points of contact (Updated)

Update (December 31, 2020) This is the best $15 gadget in my travel bag. Better than any gimbal, steadicam, tripod I have, all because of its portability. I agree that it might not be convenient, but who says it has to be. It's not for shooting with all day. I use it for running and shooting when traveling and I don't always have my camera in my hand but in a bag, sling or backpack. I put a QR plate on top so I have my camera to hand when needed, which takes a few seconds, and even before I move any of the levers, I have the ability to use three points of contact, which helps with smooth pan and tilt hand control is very helpful, especially for us older people. Everything in seconds. If I know I have more than a few seconds, all I can do is stretch out one arm for more flexibility. when viewing a tilting screen. You have the ability to create a top handle and I have an external monitor that I connect a small magic ballhead hand to with 1/4"-20 connectors. My usage is simple but when I need that top handle and In the extreme, monitor it if it is, it's there.Or use it for other types of rigs like the Edelkrone PocketRig variant.Again, it's not for long shots and not that convenient, but it doesn't hurt either It has its spot in the toolbox for blue handles so I covered them with black tape BTW remember it only costs $15 Don't underestimate this device if you only carry a couple in your bag especially when travelling. I bought another one as a backup." Review (January 6, 2020) Seems versatile but mostly uses it in one configuration: extend one arm (sometimes two) straight and squeeze that End against my chest to act as a third point of contact for a wearable device. . It's small and keeps in my bag with my camera. The only thing I didn't like were the blue handles, so I sealed them with black tape.
