Belt And Bracers

Looking for the dual hand grip from the Smallrig shoulder kit, but on its own, it looked like I would be paying something close to the full rigs, so I decided to buy the whole thing. My preferred Smallrig supplier is (ebay seller) smallrig188 who supplies from Australia and is often best or near best price, with impeccable service.

Turns out there was a discount on this rig, so it was the same price as buying the arms alone!

From here I have a lot of options as well as the ability to fully rig out two cameras and with the flick of a lock, switch from one to the other.

My ideal I feel will be the chest brace with side handles, possibly pointing up, but I know from experience, that sometimes the logic does not translate to reality, so having both (or a hybrid) to try will reveal best practice.

It is also handy to have more ways to mount other items. The S5 with it’s small HDMI requires a protective clamp, which replaces the side handle. The above rig allows for both.
