Here you go, the only problem I have with this grip it uses the same plug and the external mic input

I bought one of these for $20.  No battery capabilities, but it's great for camera handling.

On it´s way now. 140$+ shipping to norway,rather expensive
for Chinese stuff, i think.
Is there a way around that mic-problem... a "splitter cable"
or something?! will degrade sound-quality, maybe?

Thanks,T

Hi Folks,
this is my first posting in this forum. I have been reading occasionally on specific topics though and bought Andrews E-Book.
The grips linked above are nice, but mine (see avatar and attachment) is better, and self-built. It consists of a quick-release-unit by Kaiser on a aluminium bar coated with a gel-filled bicycle-grip.

Axel, that looks awesome!  Whats the chance of a guide on how you put it together, specifically mounting the arca swiss plate to the rod?

It is ridiculously simple. I needed the quick release plate, because I have the same unit on a monopod, an Ace tripod, a shoulder rig and a mini stabilizer. You can take every system. I chose this, because it's cheap, only slightly more expensive than the most simple Cullmann (but smaller and made of metal, not plastic, the Cullmann release plate fits into this, so you cant use both systems). I decided against the more robust Manfrotto, because it is too heavy, and with the little Lumix, you don't need [i]heavy duty[/i].

I sawed a small aluminium plate (4mm, some old junk), to fit under the Kaiser unit and drilled four holes corresponding to the holes at the bottom of the unit. From the square sticks out a 3 cm long, 1 cm wide "tongue", which I bent in a vice in a ~ 40° angle. Under this part is screwed a 6,5 cm long massive aluminium bar with 20 mm diameter. The M6 screw thread and the flattened top happened to be ready to use  :D (never chuck away any aluminium parts, best material there is). To reduce weight, I hollowed the bar finally with a 10mm driller, grip weighs 170 g. I painted the square black with permanent marker, in case the image confuses you.
