❝With a classic hand-grip, you often have to remove your eyes from the viewfinder to find and trigger functions on the video camera.
Now, I manage all my camera settings with my fingertips. As I am fully focused on the picture, I film with more comfort and serenity.❞

❝On a shoot, every minute counts.
The ease of configuration of my video camera and the reactivity offered by the Caman S GRIP PRO allow me to consider more shots in a day.❞

Fredrik Gabrielsson

Director of photography

❝The S GRIP PRO is the ideal tool for documentaries, especially immersive shoots where it is always best to be alone, reactive, compact and discreet.❞

Tristan Aymon

Cameraman

❝I was lucky enough to get to film with a S GRIP PRO prototype on a Sony Z90; once in the humid jungle of Costa Rica and then in the biting cold weather of Norway.
I must say that the ease of use when framing is a life-changer, but it's really the possibility to access settings during shooting - something impossible before with small cameras - which opened up new horizons and allowed me to shoot more scenes with a camera on the shoulder.
I was surprised how easily I could assimilate the commands assigned to the grip. This just revolutionizes filming...❞

Pierre Antoine Hiroz

Film director

❝I have been a documentary DOP for 30 years. To improve accessibility to shooting functions, I developed the S GRIP PRO, a programmable remote control handle.
Years of field-testing enabled me to enhance the product down to the smallest details and today the S GRIP PRO exceeds all my expectations.
Its innovative functionalities allow me to remain focused on the action, all the while controlling my video camera with my fingertips.❞
