Great product - camera and photo

Love the grip, it's adjustable but wish it could extend fully in either direction as it stops about half an inch too short.

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Appearance

Well thought out: Stabilizers

Great item! It even has a socket for an Allen key. The only criticism - ergonomics leaves something to be desired, but quite good grip.

Pros
  • Stable construction
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Flexible and easy installation

My son loves this product for its flexibility and easy and simple installation. He makes a lot of videos with his camera so in just a week it was well used and the whole cage has been attached to his camera ever since. Great purchase and completely satisfied.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Volume

If you go to NATO you will not come back.

Pretty solid pen for the money. The only downside I noticed is that the rail adapter on the front sometimes becomes a bit loose. Otherwise it works great. And when it comes to stability, NATO rails are second to none. Much better than screwing into a cheese board or mounting with a shoe adapter.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Almost never

Excellent pen. Loved the modularity

Great pen. I like modularity. The only gripe is that after a certain weight it doesn't matter how tight you tighten the 1/4 screws. With too much weight, the handle tilts up. Anything over 10 pounds will result in about 10-15 degrees of misalignment. Definitely not a deal breaker. Another great pen.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about it, everything is fine

Ingenious design, hidden hex key and many mounting options.

The versatility of this handle is amazing! With a hidden hex key held in place by magnets, on-the-fly adjustments are a breeze. Also, you don't have to remember to carry an Allen key in your pocket. simplifies the adjustment of the installation and all its parts. It's nice to be able to move the knob back and forth to balance the setup depending on the weight of the lens.

Pros
  • Perfect for a small home
Cons
  • Expensive

I wish the hair was longer but otherwise a great hold!

I've been using this for a while now with a Sony a7Riii as well as a Canon 6D MKii with no problems. I particularly like the interesting Allen key holder with integrated magnet. I haven't lost the hex wrench yet, and have also been able to loosen and tighten many of the cage screws with ease without having to remove the tools. My only minor complaint is that the handle is a bit short. My hands are usually about the size of an XL glove, so someone with big hands will probably find this too…

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
