Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 https://www.ebay.com/itm/404150615767 is this useful for video shooting only? or does it have stills use, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Not talking about the eBay cage, but the cameras. Yes, I have the original Sony RX100 & the RX100-3. They are fine little cameras. The picture of the guy on the paddleboard in the Good Things thread was taken with the RX100-3. If you look at my portfolio, every store/shop interior was taken with one or the other. I like them as my second camera because they are small, fit easily in a handbag or large pocket & people don’t seem to notice it indoors. I’ve never shot video with mine so I can’t attest to that. My main camera is the Fuji XT-4. I think Edo shoot most of his images with one of the later Sony RX cameras, 5, 6 or whatever.

NYCat Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 There are small grips you can get that I find sufficient. Holding that small camera still without a grip is difficult, in my opinion. I use it a lot now that I'm not taking the wildlife trips. I'm sorry to say that I don't feel safe these days in NYC with my obviously expensive big Nikon.

So my thinking is right that a camera can get so light, its image stabilization don't help...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) That's a version of the cages intended for making DSLRs more suitable for film production by allowing monitors, rangefinders, etc., to be accommodated. It looks a bit excessive for a stills camera- a plain handgrip attached to the tripod bush might be handier. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124367189111 Edited July 18, 2023 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predominantly for video. For stills use I suggest something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364282517972 I've got a similar grip, it just makes the RX100 easier to grip/hold Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want anything adding bulk & defeating the purpose of its small size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecile Marion Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The grip I bought for my RX100vi is tiny and sticks on with adhesive (if memory serves). I’m happy I got it. It doesn’t really add bulk, or weight, but rather allows for gripping with more stability. A web search brings up some more substantial grips, but this is the one I have: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1061077-REG/sony_ag_r2_attachment_grip_for.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also added an attachment to the lens so it would take either a 52mm filter, a lens hood or a snap on lens cap. In reality I have only added a polarising filter to it once, but the lens cap does give additional protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AG-R2 grip is really tiny and light and doesn't increase the overall dimensions (it only sticks out about half as far as the retracted lens housing). I find, with my large hands, it increases the security of my grip, so much so that I'm happy to shoot with the RX100 "one-handed" when needed.

Another vote here for the R2 grip - doesn't increase the size and makes the world of difference when using it imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
