[V-Mount] This works great for the Sony FS7. I had one made by another manufacturer, which I guess I can't name, but it was red and black, and it was a royal pain in the you know what. Had to send it back 2 times in 1 year. Sold it and go this one. This Wooden adapter is simple, reliable and actually costs less. I love it!

[1] First of all, I have to say, this works really well. Its well designed and works quite well.

The item is a bit expensive, and so when you get it in the mail you quickly realize what youre paying for is the engineering, research, and prototyping it must have taken to build this item. The actual item is well built, but you realize that in material cost, its not quite worth what youre paying.

However, where the product shines is in filling out the camera kit for anyone who does interview work and then needs to switch to hand-held for b-roll or for getting a quick interview on the fly. For indie films, this is a great tool as well since you can quickly get your camera up and running with a dual handle set-up.

Ive always been concerned about the Zacuto system because it originally didnt have this piece. There was no dual-Arri rosette with the base plate. I did go with Zacuto though due to its great balance and build quality. However, I was always looking back and forth to other competitors.

Recently, on a shoot, I had to go hand-held real quick, and I remember thinking it may be time to switch to a different system. Fortunately, I found this out, and it has been great ever since. The item works really well - its quite intuitive, and it can be customized to fit in different positions.

Ideally, to have it work well, youd have a 1st AC or an assistant of some kind to get it balanced perfectly. However, you can of course just set-up it up by yourself. It goes pretty quick. An assistant would just help make the flow a little faster by allowing you to customize how you want to hold the dual grips.

I would highly recommend this. The tornado grip never seemed like the solution I was looking for. Fortunately, this seems to be it.

[V-Mount] I am a DP and own a rental house. I love that you can set the camera down and it stands up right. I purchased the v mount plate and you can now go straight from hh to tripod. Everything is quickly adjustable on this rig. I really like it. Its a great rig. The only con I have is that SHAPE has made a great product but its build quality is still not as good as Zuccuto. But still very good. The handle extension is great as well. You can finally adjust it without a screwdriver. Sony should have done better than that.

[V-Mount] Wooden Camera produces a quality products.. This PL-mount is no different.

[1] The product works wonders now i can record longer hours using the V lock battery on my fs5.

[1.26 lb] It does the job just fine.

[1.26 lb] EXCELLENT DESIGN AND SUPERIOR QUALITY MATERIALS. ITS PERFECT FIT AVOIDS LENS MOVEMENTS.

[V-Mount] After looking and trying few other V-lock backs for my camera, I decided with this one. More money then competition, but IMHO way better design and versatility. Main decision was proper design of the foot that connects to the FS7 top rear part where the camera's multi-pin plug is hidden under the plastic cover. Movcam design protects this area properly away from elements, unlike other cheaper solution where this area stays open on both sides due to bad design. Solid build, nice finish. Once mounted, looks like it came with the camera...

[1.26 lb] Works great. Unlike what is described in an earlier review, the adapter automatically switch from battery to external power when a 12V power source is plugged into the 4-pin XLR. If the 4-pin XLR is disconnected, then the camera reverts automatically to battery power. There is no power interruption at all.

[1.26 lb] It is a good alternative with the Sony XDCA -FS7 if you don't need timecode and a prores ability to record on cards. It doesn't take any power.
