The Remote Extension Handle for Sony FS5/FS5M2 Camera from SHAPE is a variable-length adjustable handle designed to reposition the FS5 or FS5M2's remote grip away from the camera while retaining full remote functionality. The handle easily mounts to the FS5/FS5M2 using an ARRI style rosette connection and knob screw on one side, and a native Sony grip connection on the other. An included male to female LANC extension cable connects the remote grip to the camera body, maintaining full functionality after relocation.
The arm itself features SHAPE's patented push-button release which allows the joint to be rotated a full 360° to any required angle. Compact for both storage and travel, the arm measures just 5.6" when folded and may be increased to a maximum length of 11" for use. A length adjustment range of 2" is also provided to the user for a more customized and comfortable fit.

Buyer BEWARE!
I spent 45 minutes chatting with customer service about a $10 cable! B & H sent me the wrong size cable. It was some cheap off-brand little cable that was thrown in the box last minute. Not even SHAPE brand. When talked with customer service they gave me the run around. I asked for them to send me the original cable that comes with it but still have not been able to get anyone to assist me. Then I requested a return and still have not heard back from B & H. Will a manager please contact me.
Only for people with short arms!
I like the look and feel of the shape handle but it has two serious drawbacks. The first is that the four screws that attach the arm to the camera come loose constantly, so you need to tighten them up several times during a day's shooting. This gets very annoying. The second issue is that the arm has an extremely limited extension length - I am by no means a giant, at 5'10, but I am not able to extend my arm fully. So I need to spend all day with my arm folded in an uncomfortable position. This is far from ideal and is actually a pretty ridiculous design flaw if you ask me.
