Handheld cameras are often
"handheld" in name only. While smaller than their shoulder mounted
cousins, today's handheld cameras often pack so many controls and
so little grip area that the very camera
movements they were intended to make possible are restricted by
the operator's inability to literally find a place
to hold the camera. With the introduction of professional high
definition cameras in handheld format, "handheld" cameras may
weigh as much as 6 lbs - not an easy weight to manage all day with
only one hand.
The new EgripZ handheld camera
support is like having an extra hand to manage the camera.
Weighing just 12.8 oz (360 grams) Egripz mounts easily to the
camera's 1/4-20 tripod mounting. EgripZ can flex into virtually
any position around the camera adapting to any shooting
configuration without getting in the way of normal camera
operation.
EgripZ fully flexible core can be
shaped around the camera to fit the shot and EgripZ handles are
formed from a flexible polymer to make the camera easier to hold
securely and comfortably - on the hottest day or in the trickiest
of positions. One hand operation is more comfortable with EgripZ
as a forearm support - preventing the camera from "rolling" on the
operator's wrist. Low shots are much easier and steadier with two
hands to stabilize the camera. High perspectives are more
achievable with two handed control.
EgripZ also features 1/4-20
mounting on its base, so it can attach easily to a monopod or
other support for additional stability.
