I mount mine “upside down” like you do, too. Much more comfortable in the hand when shooting handheld.

It looked like a good idea to me since I was hike with a monopod as a hiking staff. I normally shoot “handheld”, but as I also sometimes need the extra stability of mounting the camera on the monopod (or tripod). My Speedigimbal arrived a few days ago and I really like it. It is very fast to mount my camera to the tripod and get the extra stability I need. It is certainly a lot faster than mounting the camera onto a Arca Swiss. I’ve never been comfortable with mounting an expensive camera to any mount without a safety strap…”just in case” ! After using it for a dozen or so hours I think it is A+ and a big help if you are on the move…and decide you need some extra stability. FYI… I use the Peak Designs wrist strap as my “safety strap” as I carry my camera in my hand.

That’s great info thanks🙏🏻

I use a video head and don’t have a problem putting the camera on and off it at all. I have an Arca Swiss clamp permanently attached to the video head plate and it is quicker and less complicated to attach my camera to the clamp than what you demonstrated by having to attach two pieces, one to the monopod and one to the lens foot. I can take my camera off quickly should I need to. I like to be able to rest my arms when in the field and I’m able to without having to put the camera on the ground.

: I purchase one. I live in Southern California USA. This is like reinventing the wheel. I am loving it. 🐢 📷 🐢 😲 🐢 👍

[@BarryMountford]

Me too! All the best.

[@sarahbatsford4791]

Very good info😁

[@BarryMountford]

Thanks.

I really don’t understand why you would be messing around mounting your camera when you are already out. I mount my camera onto my ballhead on the monopod as soon as I leave the car. This product is not a gimbal, it requires two hands to use. With the ballhead and monopod I can hold the setup with one hand while drinking my coffee with the other and still be in position for the wildlife when it appears.

[@BarryMountford]

Like I said in the video it allows speed, I like to get low angle shots so being able to quickly and quietly setup up for different shots makes this a great tool, all comes down to how you shoot.

[@simonstevens1631]

Yup this is a gadget for the uninformed.

[@Tonisbookshelf]

How is this different than using a ball-head?

[@BarryMountford]

The speedy gimbal is just quicker and quieter with a higher chance of not missing the shot.

[@simonstevens1631]

I disagree sir!

[@ScreenFiends]

Kinda looks like an accident waiting to happen. A ball head with a quick release plate seems like a safer option with essentially the same functionality.

[@BarryMountford]

Not at all it’s not designed to be let go of more for speed and capturing those split second moments without having to fumble and miss the shot. All comes down to how you like to shoot.

[@tomweis1194]

Looks like a good way to drop one's camera & lens on the ground. I'll stick with Arca Swiss.

[@BarryMountford]

It’s not designed for leaving go of it’s designed for speed and stability, all comes down to how you like to shoot really.

I think this is genius, Ive been photographing wildlife for 40 years and I totally get the advantages of this design, just need to get myself one to try! Well done for your fab design.@@BarryMountford
