Habbycam SuperDV Shoulder Brace

day-rate

The Super DV Brace will give your pro-sumer camcorder the control that professionals enjoy with bigger cameras.  Adjustable, dual handles provide comfort and control for extended shooting times.

features:
o configured for the Canon XL line of cameras
o Mount adapter plates coming for GL-1, AG-DVX100, and pro form factor cameras.  Call about creating a mount for your camera.

camera operator trick:
o  When using with a camera that features a flip-out LCD screen, consider wearing a pair of reading glasses.  Their close-up focal point snaps the LCD screen into sharp focus while allowing you to see your environment outside the lenses in focus as well.  I use a pair (okay, I need a pair) with 1/2" high lenses that store in a handy travel tube.

o  Professional cameras, unlike most pro-sumer cameras, are designed so an equal part of the camera rests behind the shoulder as well as in front.  By balancing the camera mass on top of the shoulder, you reduce the fatigue of holding the lens up from the front.  When using a pro-sumer camera, consider adding some weight to the back of the shoulder brace to ease operating fatigue.
