I wanted this grip kit because trying to film the kids running about or the dog at the park with just the bare camera was a bit of a nightmare for my hands. For the price, it is excellent value when you consider you get both the cage and the handle in one go. The way it is well made from aluminium gives me a lot of confidence that it won't just snap if I accidentally knock it while we are out on a family walk.

The functionality is spot on because it makes the camera feel much more like a proper bit of kit in your hand. I really like the magnetic quick release system because it means I can swap from the handle to a tripod in seconds without faffing about with screws while the kids are waiting for me to keep up. Being able to get to the battery just by pressing a button is a massive win too as I can swap power out quickly without taking the whole rig apart.

It fits the camera perfectly and doesn't block any of the microphones or the charging port which is exactly what you want. The extra cold shoe mounts are handy for when I want to slide a small light on for filming indoors during birthdays or Christmas.

It feels like a premium product. It protects the camera while making it ten times easier to hold steady. If you do a lot of filming and want something that feels professional and remains practical, this is a great shout.
