Cam Caddie Starter Kit

If you plan on using your Battery grip its going to be a supertight fit or may not fit at all. It you plan on using a follow focus, attached via a L-bracket the battery grip has to be removed. DSLR fit the Cam Caddie better if you don't use the Battery Grip. The mounting screw for your camera could easily get lost because it is not attached to the bottom of the Caddie. Other than these limitations for DSLR it will work for low angle shots.

I use this for getting low shots of little kid running around. I also use it to shoot my friend's son skateboarding. It creates smooth shots without a lot of painful set up time. It sets up in seconds and does the job quickly and easily. I use it with my Nikon D7000 DSLR camera for smooth HD Video.

Product is made from plastic as other have mentioned. It is not designed to do much else other than what is illustrated in the promotional videos located at the manufacturers website, so watch those first before you buy. Best for low angle hand held shots and that's about it.

This is a well made caddie. Works well for stability and low angle shots. Putting this on a scale system should prove very useful.

My only complaint is the shipping packaging. The caddie is shipped on flat cardboard with a small built in box for the accessories. This box is very poorly made, and allows the wing accessory to tear through the box and fall out. My first shipment had no wing, so I called Amazon, who sent a replacement. That package also lacked the wing, which had torn through the box. In both cases, it was clear that the wing had fallen out before it packaged for shipment to me. Amazon suspended shipment to investigate the problem, and refunded me the cost of the wing. I bought the wing separately.

I recommend this system, especially if you need to mount a recorder, lights or a monitor on your rig, and you don't want to spend a fortune.

Finally, the rig is a bit flexible, which bugged me at first. But it actually seems to help smooth out the shake, which in turn makes shake correction work better in post.

This product is great, the only thing is that when I try to attach my LED light the wholes are big enough to insert the LED light. Its durable and I use this almost every week. Its a bit pricey but it is a good product
