Second Hand Video Camera

Second one I have purchased. Lost the first one and could not do without! Secures a smaller camera (Z50 without binding my hand. Great product and compatible with all my other Peak Design straps.

This is used on a boom. sometimes it it better to maneuver the camera by hand for great video experience.

First, have a pair of tweezers or very small pliers on hand. Second, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Other than that, it's easy, and solid. NOTE: this is NOT meant to switch between lenses. If you have more than one Nikon/Nikkor lens, buy one for each. Once it's on there, you won't want to remove it. You can, just not very easily. Also, this does NOT support any AF or aperature or any other electronics. Manual only. I don't yet know the weather sealing on it, but I'm not about to test it. I think I'll keep this in the studio. I love being able to use my favorite old Nikkor nifty fifty again!

Second one I have, and I am sure it will not disappoint me.

Second Pelican I own...

I wanted something to use with my m4/3 camera for some video work...hand held vlogging and putting it on a table for other shots...I wanted something light and versatile and this GPod seems to be a good choice. I have no idea how well it will hold up over time but it seems solid and well made so my hopes are high.

Great tool to have on hand for video shoots!

I'm not sure how well it would work if I was hand holding my camera, but it's the perfect inexpensive solution for a DSLR shooting video on a tripod. I have rain covers I spent hundreds of dollars on, but I much prefer this one. It's shaped right, has a drawstring to close it around the lens and goes on and off easily.

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 was looking for a compact camera that would work for both travel and documenting visual art work in my studio with stills and video. The auto function produces crisp images and the hand held night shot feature is amazing. The camera provides full control in 5 different modes including fully manual operation. Especially useful is the feature that allows dragging the focus area in the picture frame. I have used the video function for one application that worked very well. I uploaded a photo shot with maximum zoom and manual focus through a back door glass and screen and a hand held night shot. I am looking forward to trying out many of the other features. If you do not have to change lenses this is a great camera.
