any comments on those vertical grips?
And the Hasselblad HV is “backordered” at B&H. Apparently somebody didn’t get the memo about selling out the inventory.
Lmao
any comments on those vertical grips?
they work but problems will come, for example if you use a black rapid or similar connection on the tripod, the weight of the camera will eventually cause the frame of the vertical grip to become slightly loose. i bought cheap ones trying to save money . dont do it, get the official sony because they have far greater tolerances. you’ll notice overtime you will need to tighten the tripod connection more and more otherwise there is a wiggle room which leads to the shutter button failing to work. if you take good care of the vertical grip and never let it hang upside from tripod connection via a black rapid than you should be okay.
so for handheld shooting it should work just fine?
ya, handheld will be okay. Cheap knockoff vertical grips are prone to “wiggle” when there is too much stress applied via the tripod mount socket. they are not designed to hang from it. so i always recommend using cameras hanging loops. black rapid style camera straps connect to the tripod hole on base of camera or vertical grip.
