Review on Ikan Hoverfly Lightweight Shoulder Rig (Black) - Enhanced for Maximum SEO by Chef Buntiloy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Shoulder rest offers good value for money

This device works quite well and is worth the money. You can spend a lot more for a shoulder rig, but it offers the basic functionality. I use it with my Panasonic GH4 and they work well together. This is my first shoulder rig and I thought I could use the camera's LCD screen, but that's just not an option. The camera position is too close to the face, so you have to use the viewfinder. I don't know if other settings could allow for different positioning, e.g. B. the use of an LCD. The processing quality of the device is okay. I just have a small comment about the screw that attaches the camera to the rig. It has both a metal clip (for tightening with your fingers) and a slot for tightening with a screwdriver. The slot is narrower than any other such slot on quick release plates and cages I've seen. That's not how it works with the US 25 cent coin that's often used to tighten such bolts. It also fits exactly on my keys, which I also often use for this purpose. As such, it's a no-frills device that gets the job done.

Pros
  • Camera mounts and stabilizers
Cons
  • The list will be long.
