Leon The Professional Camera Shots

I am a semi professional photographer who has developed tremors in both hands. Hand held shots were becoming very difficult. The Steady Shot is exactly what I needed to take shots without camera shake. In addition it takes the weight of a professional camera and heavy lens off my neck and back. The set up was a little confusing but I just love it. I would make sure to order the quick release plate and a quick release adaptor. Very well made. Excellent quality. Cotton Carrier Customer Service has been great.

When you need professional shots in a lightweight camera with a long battery life this is the move ?????? Thanks bh for helping me find the camera of my dreams at a great price!

This is my first camera. I chose this Sony a6000, because my father, a professional photographer, recommended it. I could not be happier with this purchase and this camera. I have gotten enough good shots, I mean shots exceeding my artistic expectations and hopes for expression, that I am thoroughly hooked on this camera specifically and photography in general. After a week, I bought the telephoto lens, and now I'm considering buying the macro lens. It's easy to transfer the photos to my phone. I'm looking forward to getting some archival quality prints of my favorites. This camera exceeded my expectations in every way!

I was using a compact digital camera and love snap shots. I wanted to try a little bit more professional tryle and bought this EP3 camera. The manufacturor is fcing trouble now but this camera is fantastic. This looks very classical but its functions are great. The quality of pics are just like DSLRs but much lighter. And, easy to use.

I bought this kit to use while making an independent film, and now I use it for ALL of my WEDDINGS! It really makes a huge difference on moving shots! It gives your moving shots that smoothness you need to make your shot look very professional. It is VERY TRICKY to learn how to use it at first, so don't expect it to magicly work for you instantly. Give it time, and PRACTICE! You MUST balance it correctly! Go to YouTube and search for video tutorials on how to properly balance it; it's not HARD, but it is TIME CONSUMING, so have patience and DO NOT skip any steps. Also, when balancing, don't forget to add all items you will have during the shoot (camera with light, microphone, even the tape/memory card, etc.). If your camera has an LCD screen MAKE SURE it is OPEN when you balance it (every variation will slightly throw off its balance). I HIGHLY recommend this kit to anyone who's serious about their moving shots and wants GOOD quality for a relatively low price. Sure there are much better ones out there, but they are a LOT more expensive too. Also the kit itself will save you some money versus buying both items separately (which you'll need anyway). If you do professional video (weddings, events, etc) the cost of this item will pay for itself within a couple of gigs.

It is a very sturdy tripod. A great value in my opinion. I'm not a professional, but I take my hobby very serious. The versatility of this tripod is great. It can also reverse drop the center post to hang the camera near the ground. I removed the head and use an Oben Gimbal head, so I can't say anything about the ball head that comes with this tripod. But I can say this tripod improved my night time sky shots greatly. I have a photo of Jupiter and 4 of her moons, and Saturn with one of her moons. The tripod held my camera that still on a breezy evening to grab those shots.

I am not a professional photographer but this camera is very easy to use with its presets. The camera allows for you to capture your shots quickly and affords you the time to play with shutter speeds, aperture and ISO quickly and easily. Love Love Love this camera

I've been shooting professional sports for over 25 years and have never seen a camera that could handle the shots like this one. I travel quite a lot during baseball and football season and my equipment must be able to take the abuse of the road. This one can. My first two Mark IIIs had the AF problem but the latest firmware upgrade (1.2.3) resolved the issue totally.

I use the SD780 for family & professional shots (glass artist/jeweler). I am also interested in artistic photos and use the versitle SD780. I really like the camera overall size (I can take it anywhere), the large viewing area, the superior photo quality, lens capacity, and ease of operation. I can't think of anything I don't like about it. The only improvement would be a high level SLR camera, but then things like size and ease of operation would go out the window!

Easy to use. Helps make professional shots with a regular amateur.
