Review on HITHUT Metal Hand Grip with Quick Release QR Plate | Arca Swiss Compatible | for Sony A7III A7RIII A7R3 A7M3 A9 by Ann Thompson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

good workmanship, a little loose

The metal of the handle feels nice but after a few dozen loosening and retightening times the Allen key provided broke fairly quickly and I replaced it with the one I already had, fits conveniently into a slot in the handle. It was also a little loose from the body, most of the time taking it off and putting it on I had to try and fix this issue as I figured it just wasn't the case. not tight enough. The loosening was very slight and imperceptible on lighter lenses, but it pulled on your hand more on heavier lenses, moving the grip back and forth as you adjusted your hands. That looseness also removed a very small amount of trim on the bottom of the camera where it fitted, which isn't a huge issue for me personally, but might be for some. Downstairs, I knew of course I would go in, but I didn't think I'd mind, but I did; If you want something that sits flat on the ground Smallrig and ReallyRightStuff have these, they're just a little pricey.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Poor instructions
