THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO
Vello’s ActionPan Pro St abilizing Gr ip is compatible with most DSLR, p oint and shoot , and camcorders that are a maximum of 4.75 inches high. The two-arm grip allows photographers and videog raphers to shoot fast- moving action with a secure and steady, yet mobile, camera platform. It provides the stabilit y that digital and video cameras need to achieve dr amatic low-angle shots and follow fa st-paced action like skiing, skateboarding, or motocross. The grip easily converts to a one -arm configuration for ultra- low shooting angles and even closer proximit y 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.
