A
Brace For The Canon HV20 And Similar Small Camcorders
A handle and mounting bar with 1/4" threaded holes from a Tiffen
"Steady Stick" were
combined with
a folding "L" flash bracket and a compact quick release (a non-slip
rubber
cane
end was pushed over the bracket's flash shoe to cushion its end) to make a
hand
holding brace for
small and light camcorders. The additional
accessory shoe bar is easily
removed and
it is not usually used. In use, the handle is gripped with the left hand, the
straightened
"L"
handle goes over the left shoulder, the right hand holds the camcorder
using its
strap, and the eyepiece viewfinder top rests on the eyebrow. Only a single knob
needs to be loosened, then tightened, to get this compact
brace ready for
use. (Since
writing the above
and taking the photos below, I have added a second straightened
"L"
handle to provide
an extended grip for the right hand.)
