Heavy Duty Professional Video Camera Handles
Printer versionHeavy Duty Camera Handles
Strong, tough and versatile heavy duty
camera handles.
The VF Gadgets handles fitted to our F900/3’s and our VariCams have made a huge difference in the usability of the cameras. They are “grip friendly” and stedicam operators love them. The enable a low mode fitting of steadicam rigs with a minimum of fuss... Just bolt it on and presto! The handles also eliminate the poorly designed view finder mounts on both cameras, the V/F mount on the VF Gadgets handle is wonderfully engineered and very strong. Plus the user has the ability to mount many other production devices to the handle without any fear of the handle breaking or flexing. In essence the VF Gadgets handle is a “must have” item for the operator who takes their craft seriously. We’d fit them to all of our cameras if we could!
Top issue for this company is the highest possible quality and customised equipment. VFGadget’s heavy duty handles have become an excellent add-on to our HD camcorders. They’ve proved to be reliable in the hardest environment: the rental business. Our customers shoot worlwide in hardest conditions and always require tough and versatile equipment. The tough construction of these heavy duty handles together with the ergonomy and all the screws for accessory handling are excellent to us.

OVIDE BROADCAST SERVICES The Heavy Duty Camera Handle was designed for rental cameras in Toronto, Canada. They needed something that was both light and tough, with a strong adjustable viewfinder mount system. PCI's handle was the answer to their request. The viewfinder shoe mount is a solid adjustable post set in the front of the heavy duty handle. This eliminates any torquing from extension viewfinder arms or just everyday wear from normal use. If you use or rent your camera(s) a lot, this handle is a perfect addition to your system.
The heavy duty handles are flat on top for direct mounting of Steadicams for low angle set up's (no cage required). You can also mount it to a fluid head that is upside down on a mini jib for low angle shots as well.
How tough are these handles? If you break the handle or strip any of the threads on top of the handle, send it back and we will replace it free of charge.
If you require a custom opening for extra electronics or switches within the handle, let us know, and for a small charge we can make those changes for you.
