Vello’s ActionPan Pro Stabilizing Grip is compatible with most DSLR, point and shoot, and camcorders that
are a maximum of 4.75 inches high. The two-arm grip allows photographers and videographers to shoot
fast-moving action with a secure and steady, yet mobile, camera platform. It provides the stability that
digital and video cameras need to achieve dramatic low-angle shots and follow fast-paced action like skiing,
skateboarding, or motocross. The grip easily converts to a one-arm configuration for ultra-low shooting
angles and even closer proximity to the action. With the addition of the included single and triple shoe
mounts, the grip becomes a self-contained camera rig that can accommodate a microphone, flash, LED light,
or shoe-mountable monitor.
