Hallo everyone,

Does enybody know if there is a handle to adapt it on shoe adaptor?

Look at the picture below to understant what I'm looking for. I do not use an external microphone and I want to find this simple handle in order to carry my camera and shoot more comfortably.

Hello @ioagount,

since a Hotshoe not necessarily can support the weight of a camera, I went with a handle-system, which supports itself beneath the camera while also being attached to the hotshoe via a coldshoe adapter piece (to get the connection point a few centimeters above the camera).

Here is a picture of my FDR AX100 and FDR AX700 fully rigged up:

Hi Nic.

Thank you for your reply, but I don't think I can afford this.

I'm looking for a simple handle to hold the camera from the top and not from the side using my palm.

I want only this, so I think this would be a cheap accessory.

* I use FDR-AX33

Hello @ioagount,

the handle system is around 100 pounds in total.

A normal grip (to mount into the shoe is around 40 pounds already, yet with the problem, that it might damage the camera: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BK136RZ/ )
