A handheld stabilizing device for professionals

U.S. Patent Pending

Use the Camhandle to get more stable handheld shots. If you’ve ever held onto the open LCD panel to hold your camera steadier, then you understand the principle behind the Camhandle. The deceptively simple patent pending design is the secret of its success. It keeps your hands apart in three dimensions giving you leverage on the camera. The  all aluminum camera platform is designed to keep your right hand in the normal position on the camera. No need for remote controls. Your left hand is placed lower and off to the left of the camera centerline. This allows your left elbow to be in close to your body for additional support. The left wrist is in a comfortable, natural position. With the viewfinder against your eye, you have three points of contact making for a very stable platform.  A tripod plate allows the camera to remain on the Camhandle while attached to a tripod. Your quick release mount connects to bottom of the adaptor. Now a you can move from tripod to handheld and back in seconds. 

Comments from SLFUG* members per Ben Balser - ... the Camhandle was a HIT! ... they LOVED this little device!  I had so many folks wanting to get their hands on it, they used it hand held and on a tripod.  I had them zoom to the max across the room and do a slow pan on an object, and they were amazed at how much control they had on a tripod with it.  Hand held, they were just blown away.  Yep, they sure did love the design!  The biggest comment was "Wow, it's so simple it's almost stupid nobody did this before!  Look how much it helps!"  They all immediately saw the advantage to the position of the wrist and hand on the grip.  Biggest two problems they saw it solving was, the most popular, wrist strain using one hand with a DV camera.  The second was getting more steady hand held shots.  Third was the amazement at how much better you could control and smooth out pans and tilts on a tripod. * South Louisiana Final Cut Pro Users Group

"It makes the Sony Z1 manageable in handheld situations.  Even when shooting on a boat, my handheld shots are more stable."

—Bob Talbot, DP, Feature films "Free Willy", "Dolphins" IMAX

"I just acquired this BRAND NEW handheld device called The Camhandle!

I cannot say how much I am impressed with this device... at first glance it

doesn't look that interesting... but in usage, it's amazing..."

—Brandon Rice, DVX User.com

"The "Camhandle" makes a tremendous difference when used with one of these inferior tripods.  Shooting

stability was clearly improved when we used the

'Camhandle' in a handheld configuration - particularly

while walking with the camera."—Enza Sebastiani, documentary filmmaker

"I thought I'd died and gone to hand-held heaven. Try it once - you'll never be

without it."  —Chris Angelos, DP

"Amazing steady shots"

—Greg Donovan, documentary filmmaker

You can see the difference when you use the Camhandle.

The new Camhandle works in the same way as the original but brings more flexibility to the design with modular construction.  The removable handle is secured by tightening the knob.  You can position it anywhere within a 180 degree range, but we still recommend a 130 degree position like the original Camhandle for the best performance.  Now you can remove the handle for storage.  The new machined aluminum mounting block supports the included bracket to mount FireStore, digital audio recorder, wireless mic receiver, or an articulated arm to hold a monitor.  The base also supports an optional matte box rod mount for almost any matte box and an optional rear monitor and shoulder support. The Camhandle works with virtually all small camcorders under seven pounds as well as the new Canon 5D Mk II DSLR.  Write to us at sales@camhandle.com for more info.  All specifications and appearance subject to change at any time.
