This is why the handle grip is so, it is bent to the top of the camcorder and the screw be tightened slightly over the length of the "skating"
"Foot" not befitting manages this that one should rather see it as a handle. Besides the type of helicopter pads that can be seen on the Amazon images are actually intended for that huge wide-angle skaters do not touch the ground. We must therefore use this "foot" in use close to its destination.
Use this when you have to walk rather shoot while moving. Bicycle, motorcycle, rollerblading, etc.
Having the weight of the camcorder much lower than your hand will naturally stabilize your image pendulum effect (or plumb line, better image stability).
I personally use to shoot rowing races on their entire distance from my bike wheelchair, unfortunately it's inevitable in a hand (not to reproduce at home) and I am therefore delighted this product.
