[None] I love the speed of adjusting--push button release to rotate, but no play when it locks in. It does offset the handgrip a bit to the right making it take up a bit more space in a bag or case while attached. You can adjust the handle a bit to the right or left in your initial setup using a hex wrench at the attachment to the silver post. I had to move it far to the right to give clearance for my knuckles not to hit a locking lever when I'm rotating it. Thus even more offset to the right--not ideal but worth the trade-off. I like this model better than the one that can work with both the FS7 Mk 1 and Mk2. The ergonomics are much better for grasping the extension arm while simultaneously pressing the button with with the thumb of the same hand. For me this is a bod deal--for me the other one has inferior ergonomics for either model. This one does require some disassembly of the original extension to interface, but worth it. Note-it appears to be some plastic in use including on the rosette, but seems to be really tough stuff that shouldn't break in normal use. At least the plastic rosette would not need frequent adjusting since the whole point is the push button adjust.

[1.55 lb] We Have three of these. One on each camera. Works great. Fast. Wouldn't shoot without it.

[1.55 lb] The product is very good quality and works smoothly.

[1.55 lb] Its a good and versatile slot receiver bucket tha will allow a quick add to my camera to expand its ability to receive more freqs.

[None] Since i bought my sony fs5, i needed a battery for it. I dont want to spend $300 for a battery and i saw this from GVM. Since I already know the quality of their products I immediately purchased it. And I'm not disappointed by the build quality and performance. It gave me hours and hours of shooting and I even powered my monitor thru dtap connection. And bonus, i can charge my phone on the side because it has a usb output. Great for travel!

[12 VDC] My production office just invested in the FS7m2 for field cameras, and a friend recommended this accessory to replace the stock Sony arm. From my moment I saw a demo online, I knew it was a better solution to the thumb screw.�

After a week video shoot in South America, I moved that arm hundreds of times from tripod to shoulder to ground level. The stock Sony arm would totally have slowed down my shoot if I had to fight with a screw.

This is a vital accessory for this new Sony FS models and now I'm recommending it to other producers on my team who have the same camera setup. Actually the entire SHAPE camera support link for SONY is a must.

[None] I bought this same arm for my original Sony FS7 and it worked flawlessly for four years. It did not let me down once, even when I was using heavy lenses like the Fujinon Cabrios and the Cannon 17-120.

I was so impressed that I bought one for my AMIRA and it has given the same results. Just perfect.

I was thrilled to learn that this model, made for the FS7 mkii fits perfectly on my new FX9. I couldn’t be happier with the quality and customer service from Shape.

[None] Crushes the Sony version like a grape. The Sony Mark 2 handle is an improvement over the original FS7 handle but still left we wanting more flexibility.
The arm length extension slipped from day one out of the box and would not tighten. Loosening the rosette screw to move from a tripod mounted position (rear facing) to a handheld position (front facing) is time consuming, you missed shots. The Shape red button is one push and the rotation happens. The extension arm no longer slips with the shape handle so a win all around. The only note is the silver barrel that the red button is located on sticks out from the camera quite a bit. Not a problem while shooting but I have a pre-cut Jason hard case for my camera and it sticks out too far to place it in the case while attached. Small price to pay for the improved functionality while using the camera.

[None] I’m glad someone finally made this adapter. It’s easy to install and works great. I attach the grip to the FX9 body for use with my Easyrig. Perfect placement.

I think it would be great if this came with an adapter that converted the stock Sony hand to receive an ARRI rosette. Then, you could still use the stock handle if you wished. The benefit being that you could mount the grip to the body, the Sony handle, or any third party rosette extension arm. Otherwise, the Sony arm becomes useless.

[1.55 lb] Very easy to use solid construction.
