4.5 Stars Nice U Grip Smaller than Most which is Great
By Sean on January 27, 2019
A little smaller than other U grips which I like. Position adjustments are good forward and back but side to side is only 2 as opposed to others that give you 10 but that's ok bc that is rarely a factor and not used as much. Has 3 cold shoe points. They could have put 1 or 2 more if they wanted to. One on front where their logo is and one on the bottom. Build quality is good but the whole thing is plastic. It's ok density but would prefer a thicker quality. Seems it would break easily under most conditions but hey I'm careful with my cameras anyways. Just don't go filming a riot with this thing. The foam is good but gotta point out it is scrunched up in a section like they took it from a bigger U grip and just shoved it onto this. Couple of foam indentations on the handle but not bad. It just doesn't seem made particularly for this. May work itself out. Adjustment knob is good the base has nice rubber padding where needed everything is pretty good here. Just wish it was more solid feeling to handle heavier cameras. Had my P1000 on it and you can feel the plastic give a little like if you grabbed it faster or harder something might break. But it didn't. Happy with the purchase the price is good but if they ever make a metal version of this or use denser plastic I'm on it. 👍

Very user friendly bracket.
By Rob-n-TX on July 31, 2019
I'm using a Canon Vixia HF R800 camera and a Takstar shotgun mic. This bracket moves the mic up and out of the way of the camera controls and allows me to get to the zoom, record button, touch screen and etc. without interference. I'm running the Macro lens adapter to widen the field of view yet the mic is still well out of frame. I do not have to break the set-up down as it is already flat and slips right into my backpack. I have a quick disconnect from my tripod mounted on the bottom so I can set it up in a flash.

To me in the pictures it looked cheezy and plasticy, I almost didn't buy it, but it was cheap (and so am I) and available so I tried it, figuring that Amazon is GREAT with returns and I could order one of the more expensive ones if I didn't like it.
Well I was totally wrong. It is made of plastic but it's very well designed and made. The frame is sturdy and light, and although I'm mostly using it for a lightweight video rig (a Sony alpha and a light), I've tried it with my Nikon D7100, 400mm zoom lens, light, and microphone (a big, heavy camera body with a BIGGER and HEAVIER camera lens, if you're not familiar with it, most people consider the D7xxx the top of Nikon's consumer line or the bottom of their professional line), and I was not at all worried about it, it worked VERY WELL and I had no worries of the grip's strength/rigidity.
The foam grip is about as good as these things get, I'm sure it will eventually wear out, but it's high quality with molded-in red finger grips which not only feel good in your hand but kind of grab onto you so they don't feel like they slide out, they also provide a nice spot to let the grip hang off a finger to use as a Steadicam. FWIW, I used it in a very dusty fabrication shop and hung it off a dusty pipe on the ceiling to shoot some footage a few hours before taking these pictures and the dust came right off.
The red surface on the base looked like the worst part to me in the pictures, plasticy and gaudy. Well, that was completely wrong. It's a thin layer of nice grippy rubber that keeps whatever you screw down to this in position, no moving around, in person, it looks nice also. If you're worried about the single T-slot I've found that even in 4 different setups I didn't have a use for the second one that most of these kinds of grips have. With the small rig it puts the front of the shortest lens I own just a hair behind the front of the rig protecting it from knocks and bumps, with something bigger you wouldn't want it any further forward at all. Offset to the side like in my pic it's just enough to counterbalance the rechargeable light and arm that I mounted off the side- I think that most people would prefer to put the light in the 3-way shoe above the camera but I've found that I've been using this a bit to shoot under things and with the light, to the side it's both MUCH more compact and MUCH less likely to get blocked by whatever I'm getting under to shoot.
If you're not sure about it get it, like I said, I'm cheap and I would have been thrilled with this at 2x or more the price that I paid ($12.76).

This thing is REALLY much better than it looks!

I've had this for a month and a half and have carried it around with me everywhere, in 3 or 4 different configurations.By MarkP on January 1, 2021

Get a handle on this grip!
By Rob on May 5, 2019
I love this grip. First off, its super comfortable. The whole handle is padded so pretty much anywhere you hold, its padded. The 2nd amazing part is that there are 3 mounting points on the head of the grip. Thats awesome. Last thing is that, it is pretty easy yo mount to a tripod. So yiu dont have to completely disassemble your rig to make it stationary or mobile.
