Camera With Film Counter

I use this product to film YouTube videos with my digital camera and although it does need a counter weight, I really like the results. I like that I can adjust the length of the arm to exactly where it needs to be for a great video. ...

Gents at the photo/film counter are really great. Always a pleasure to come through B&H

I film football games for a high school in Indianapolis, IN. We are playing in Lucas Oil Stadium and where you film from is very high up, but the location has a counter in front of it so it is difficult to set up a standard tripod and film. The Slik Mini-Pro V allows me to set up the camera on the counter and so the films will be smooth with no jerking due to trying to move the tripod, the Mini-Pro V will insure easy panning. The tripod is light weight, but strong enough to handle a Canon GL2. The only wish I have is it needs a carrying case with strap so you can easily carry it with all of the other equipment.

By the time that I had got to a point where I was comfortable operating the machine I had racked up about 25 on the film counter or 12.5% of my limited warranty. It does not build up my faith for the future. I hope nothing goes wrong. Machine is a bit noisy in the gears but is working ok.

I have two Kodak Monitor six-20's and have been re-spooling my film from 120 to 620 for years. I never thought to see over-the-counter 620 film again. Here it is! And not some obscure eastern European film, but the world's best film - TriX! Amazing! Of course, there should be some charge for re-spooling. Takes me about 10 mins/roll. ...

Works for my Microframe counter.

I wish you provided a bracket kit so I'd be able to hang it under a counter.

I use this on my Canon HF G10 video camera. It has proven itself to be very usable to stabilize video shoots with it. The size lends itself to be very controllable without the use of counter weights of other systems. Certainly the counter weight systems are useful in many if not all situations however if those systems are too cumbersome or restrictive then this is one to use. The Canon HF G10 uses a flash drive so it is not a heavy camera making it easy for this grip to handle. The single hand-grip is made of sturdy molded plastic and the attachment and pivot points are well made with a mix of chrome plated high tensile steel and high carbon steel where they count. This type of hand grip is very hard to come by as a lot of available hand grips are either part of a counter weight system or mounting system for lights, microphones, etc. In summary this is a well made, high quality single purpose accessory that deserves support from the motion and still photography community. It is easy to use and its cost is very reasonable in considering its quality. I am a firm believer in the saying that you pay for what you get. The only thing wrong about this item is that it is not always available for immediate purchase. A possible testament to its popularity? Perhaps.

I used these on the tripod base, as a counter weight for my camera tripod when shooting with the bar horizontal to the ground and to lock stands in place. The quality is so much better than some of the cheaper bags I bought that just tear at the slight tug.

Really fun toy camera to try, I only taped the counter window and saw very little to no light leaking on my model. I've only shot two rolls, though, so we'll see going forward. Simple to use, enjoy it so far!
