    Great helper in using Sony RX100 camera

    I purchased this item to make using my Sony RX100 camera a little easier. For me, it is difficult at times just handling this pocket camera with my clumsy fingers and this gadget makes it so much easier. You just mount the camera by screwing it onto the shoe, plug the connector cord into the camera and you have shooting control of your camera with one hand. You can fold the legs together to hold the device in your hand making it so much easier to have firm control of the camera and can press a button (this also activates autofocus) to take your picture and zoom in or out on the subject (works for video too). You can also open the legs and set the camera on a table or other stable platform to use it as a mini tripod. I found this on sale so it wasn't full price so it made it a little more "ok" to purchase and it makes using my camera so much easier.

    It better than using camera's buttons...

    This grip is not a gimbal. Not that's understood. It functions as a mini-tripod and a great grip (large cicumference) when legs are closed. As you use the basic control buttons on the grip you'll see how this is easier than pressing the buttons on the camera. My hands and fingers are not overly large but if you can relate to attempting to simply press down on the video record button you'll understand. If using for a selfie shot...it is so easy to flip up the screen of the RX100 and have the grip oriented to take your shot...you don't have to be a contortionist. It is a bit pricey...but there's nothing really out there that you plug in and control functions with on handed control pad.

    This product can either be used as a tripod or grip. I needed it for the grip. The Sony RX 100 VII is like a slippery bar of soap. I found the grip to be just right for me. Easy to attach for extended holding and more stabilization. My only complaint is I would prefer the video and photo buttons switched. This is intended for vloggers so I can see why they gave video the priority spot on the grip. At $100 it is expensive but you will have to decide if it is worth it. I really appreciated that you can control the zoom from it.

    Reasonably priced and light in the camera bag this small tripod remote works for stable group shots and it also trips the shutter. It’s week made and given the design should be able to take normal wear and tear. Useful accessory

    I bought this for my Sony RX 100VI and I love it! It has all the buttons to zoom take a picture all while sitting on top of the stick. What are you convenience of not having to hold the camera or fear of dropping it just put it on top of the stick and start shooting your pictures and away you go!
