ULANZI U-Grip Pro Handheld Video Rig Steadicam with Triple Cold Shoe, Stabilizing Handle Grip Compatible for iPhone 16 15 14 13 12 Pro Max Xs 8 7 plus Action Camera 13 10 Canon Nikon Sony DSLR Cameras

I've had this for a month and a half and have carried it around with me everywhere, in 3 or 4 different configurations. To me in the pictures it looked cheezy and plasticy, I almost didn't buy it, but it was cheap (and so am I) and available so I tried it, figuring that Amazon is GREAT with returns and I could order one of the more expensive ones if I didn't like it. Well I was totally wrong. It is made of plastic but it's very well designed and made. The frame is sturdy and light, and although I'm mostly using it for a lightweight video rig (a Sony alpha and a light), I've tried it with my Nikon D7100, 400mm zoom lens, light, and microphone (a big, heavy camera body with a BIGGER and HEAVIER camera lens, if you're not familiar with it, most people consider the D7xxx the top of Nikon's consumer line or the bottom of their professional line), and I was not at all worried about it, it worked VERY WELL and I had no worries of the grip's strength/rigidity. The foam grip is about as good as these things get, I'm sure it will eventually wear out, but it's high quality with molded-in red finger grips which not only feel good in your hand but kind of grab onto you so they don't feel like they slide out, they also provide a nice spot to let the grip hang off a finger to use as a Steadicam. FWIW, I used it in a very dusty fabrication shop and hung it off a dusty pipe on the ceiling to shoot some footage a few hours before taking these pictures and the dust came right off. The red surface on the base looked like the worst part to me in the pictures, plasticy and gaudy. Well, that was completely wrong. It's a thin layer of nice grippy rubber that keeps whatever you screw down to this in position, no moving around, in person, it looks nice also. If you're worried about the single T-slot I've found that even in 4 different setups I didn't have a use for the second one that most of these kinds of grips have. With the small rig it puts the front of the shortest lens I own just a hair behind the front of the rig protecting it from knocks and bumps, with something bigger you wouldn't want it any further forward at all. Offset to the side like in my pic it's just enough to counterbalance the rechargeable light and arm that I mounted off the side- I think that most people would prefer to put the light in the 3-way shoe above the camera but I've found that I've been using this a bit to shoot under things and with the light, to the side it's both MUCH more compact and MUCH less likely to get blocked by whatever I'm getting under to shoot. If you're not sure about it get it, like I said, I'm cheap and I would have been thrilled with this at 2x or more the price that I paid ($12.76).

I originally invested in SmallRig type products to provide lens support but found it to be a sizable investment and rather heavy. I just happened to spot this item and gave it a try. Just what I needed. Ergonomically designed, easy to handle, light weight with several cold shoe mounts at the end of the handle. Gives me the ability to support my big lenses and it’s clean and uncomplicated. I especially like the fact that I can grab and go easily and the spongy grip is comfortable and secure to hold. I do have to scoot the camera out a bit or just angle it so I can pop up the LCD screen - not an issue really. Very pleased with this product.

I tried many gimbals for my GoPros and hated using gimbals as they would never work right. They always seem to go berserks on me. When I found this on Amazon, I decided to give it a try and so far I’m loving it! My latest vids on my YouTube channel has been with using this product. It’s not perfect smooth action like a gimbal would give, but it is much, much better to have this over holding GoPro in your hand or with a chesty or head mount. It does eliminate majority of the shakiness especially when you have your stabilization on your GoPro turned on. I found that lightly holding the handle with my finger tips seems to give me better video than to hold it with a full grip. I think because when just using your finger tips, there is less rigidity when you’re videoing. Fingers seems to create less bounce as it’s light and you’ll have more flexibility when using fingers to hold the handle. One thing I like to see changed is the screw that holds/mounts to your camera. As seen in pic, my screw is starting to rust! Looks like it is coated to look like stainless steel. Could at least used real stainless or zinc plated screws so it won’t rust. So far, besides the rust, it’s my go to platform when videoing without having to use a gimbal. I recommend this product!

I had a small video camera that did not have a cold shoe for me to mount a microphone. I had another grip like this by a different maker, but the base was made in such a way that I could not mount it to a tripod. So I can use the u-grip pro like cage.

Good quality and much lighter than my old handle.

not bad but the screw that slides the camera forward or backward isn't the best doesn't really lock into place so it moves the camera.

Feels nice good for low angles

Muy bonita pieza, se nota resistente y es muy compacto. la espuma se ve de muy buena calidad y duradera. Me gusta que tenga un cabezal de zapata fría para colocar 3 accesorios. Muy buena pieza. Recomendado.

I used this handle mount with a "tapeless" camcorder build I put together. You'll see it fits this era of Camcorders in the sideways configuration, but will get in the way if you were to rotate it so its straight-on (the camcorders eyecup won't fit nice) but this still gives me two nices options to carry/shoot this camera without directly holding the body. The threading on the bottom has held up to use and this was the perfect option for the build I was working on.

Muy bueno

Excelente para el precio

Ele é um ótimo grip para quem faz filmagens e tá saindo do amadorismo e quer uma pegada mais profissional. Segurando ele de forma sábia, traz muita estabilidade as filmagens ajudando demais nos takes. Chegou rápido e muito bem embalado. Ah, super leve tbm e material muito bom. Recomendo demais!

its a game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their video recording experience, whether using a smartphone or a DSLR camera. This versatile stabilizing handle grip is compatible with a range of devices, including the latest iPhones, GoPro cameras, and various DSLRs such as Canon, Nikon, and Sony. In essence, while the U-Grip Pro may not eliminate all forms of shaking, its primary strength lies in offering enhanced stability for a variety of shots and enabling users to explore creative angles that contribute to more dynamic and visually appealing video content. It's about finding the right balance between stability and the creative freedom to experiment with different perspectives.
