    The only thing I don't like about the all-metal handle with rec button is it gets super cold in cold weather. I bought camo form tape from amazon that i'll use to wrap the handle during cold weather. Hopefully that will be more comfortable to hold as well as increased grip.

    Hi Chris great job ! Thanks. I have almost the same gears. And i use the Monitor+ app with an old smartphone as monitor as you has shown previously. My top handle is Smallrig 2950. Very nice to use the camera in wallet mode close to the ground.

    @eike.zender 2 года назад

    I also bought the smallrig cage, but was kind of disappointed. The upper buttons are really hard to reach, especially using the stills/video dial is pretty tricky. Also: why not screws on the left *and* right side? Even with the tightened two screws, the cage is still rickety. Last but not least: funny, that you call the battery door a design feature. Well ... Yeah, thank you smallrig, that we can change batteries without detaching the whole rig :) Thank you for the video and keep up the good work. Cheers!

    • @chrisbrockhurst
      @chrisbrockhurst  2 года назад +1

      hmmmm it shouldn't be rickety at all, mine is rock solid once its all in, something sounds a miss. The battery hinge is definitely odd but better than the alternative haha
