Hoodman WristShot DSLR Support System
The Hoodman WristShot DSLR Support System is a versatile piece of photo gear designed to bring increased stability to your handheld images while reducing wear and tear on the wrist and forearm. Capable of supporting any DSLR, the WristShot combines strap-on pads with an articulating arm that can be adjusted on 5 axes, allowing you to lock the camera into position for optimal stability and comfort. With one hand free to adjust image settings, you can easily switch between handheld or tripod shooting via the quick-release universal tripod adapter mount. No matter your shape, size, or shooting style, the WristShot helps you shoot better, more usable DSLR video for longer periods of time.

I purchased this product because I own several DSLRs. Hand holding any video camera becomes difficult after just a couple of minutes and then things become shaky. This looked like it solved the problem of long or short tape runs. I proved it this past week.
I had to tape a dance show and did not have a clear area to shoot because the crowd immediately surrounded me. I had to hold the camera above the people's heads. I held the camera with the WristShot on my right wrist straight up in the air, then balanced it by holding the metal bar under the camera with my finger tips on my left hand. Clean, smooth sweeps of the dancers. My hand and wrist did not get tired. I came away from the event with a great video.
This device fit in my camera bag and I did not have to carry a tripod.

I found product uncomfortable and hard to use the camera the way it went on my arm. My wristshot would not lock into place all the time. Instructions were for the wristshot camcorder and not DSLR, would have liked the ones for DSLR. Pics showing how to use it were out of focus, not what I want to see for something made to stabilize images. Some people love this product, I did not.

Comments about Hoodman WristShot DSLR Support System:
I am still testing it. I haven't used it for work yet. Let a friend borrow it to shoot a school assembly with his dslr he loved it. I am sure that using it at work will make life a lot easier and let me be more creative.Two reasons that I did not give five stars that the hardware could be a little beefier, the other was I was told that the video camera plate would fit my 501 video head the profile was the same but it was too narrow.

Comments about Hoodman WristShot DSLR Support System:
I bought this product to shoot a live music video with my DSLR and it worked wonders for me. I used it the whole night with a heavy lens and light and my arm was just fine the morning after, no pain or soreness. I also love the nice stabilization it gives to my shots. It looks like I shot it with a glide-cam. I can easily dolly in/out with it and my steps are barely noticeable. The most important thing is that it leaves your other hand free to focus/zoom the lens. It's very customizable and I love the overall professional construction. It's not flimsy. It was a great find for me.

Comments about Hoodman WristShot DSLR Support System:
This is a great relief for carpal tunnel on long photo shoots where I sometimes take 100's or even 1000+ photos. I would sometimes find myself having a hard time just holding on to the camera by the end of the shoot, let alone holding the camera steady. I have used this twice now and it has been a life saver both times.

Comments about Hoodman WristShot DSLR Support System:
[...]HUGE disappointment. First of all, it was so obvious that the product had been bought and returned. Second, the instructions were for a camcorder....there are not instructions/directions for a DSLR...only a sticker on the front of the box proclaiming that it was "Configured for DSLR cameras". [...] What a joke!! The quality of the "metal" components truly is lacking. I have a cheap tri pod that I purchased from one of the big box retailers that cost half as much as this and is far superior in quality. Hoodman? No! Hoodwinked!

Comments about Hoodman WristShot DSLR Support System:
The versatility of shots you can get with the WristShot isn't limited to those with the camera in the upright position. Yes it does a great job of reducing fatigue, but with a little bit of imagination, you can create extraordinary handheld shots that are only limited by your imagination. From fight sequences to dolly shots, this lightweight support system in comfortable and versatile.

The only problem I found is a discomfort in the forearm. But I think it can be custom out pretty good.
