Periodically we will bring products to your attention that are new and noteworthy.


HDSLR Stabilization: Hoodman Style!

Hoodman, the California-based company that brought us the HoodLoupe 3.0®, the HoodLoupe 3x magnifier and the HoodCrane, has just introduced the DSLR WristShot®. The DSLR WristShot (pictured below,) essentially works by transferring the weight of the camera and lens to the forearm, thereby reducing

the potential for wrist strain and fatigue. It is similar to their existing product for camcorders, but has been adapted for HDSLR use. The DSLR WristShot can support up to 10 pounds, and ergonomically makes the most sense, when used with HDSLRs, mounted on the right arm. When coupled with the Hood loupe and HoodCrane assembly, the DSLR WristShot offers users multiple points of contact for stabilization. The DSLR WristShot is available now at a suggested MSRP of $149.99. For more information visit: http://www.hoodmanusa.com/.
