Review on CAMVATE Camera Stabilizer Wooden Handle by Josh Cooper

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent cage! in Accessories

The Camvate cage is a worthy product for its money. I bought this to mount a Fuji X-T20 and it fits, but you have to adjust this cage a bit more than other cameras to get the X-T20 1/4-20's hot shoe off the bottom bracket. . You'll also need to completely remove the bottom of this cage to swap out the X-T20's battery. Of course it's not Camvate's fault, it's the nature of the beast on this Fuji model! The cage attaches to a 1/4-20 lower and upper hot shoe mount, you don't need to buy anything extra, the upper hot shoe mount is included! You will notice that the wooden handle is on the left side of the cage. You can change this with a few caveats, namely the wooden grip will be bottom up so the finger recesses are facing out and the carved thumb on top is now all the way down, but it works! There are also plenty of 1/4-20 mounting options on the top and bottom cheese boards! Overall not a bad cage for a versatile fit!
