Listening to the comments from people who have purchased the A1 & HC1/7, we have developed and produced the following products which we hope you may find useful. We have also listed other accessories for owners of these camcorders.
     
TRIPOD ADAPTOR
Product Code TA  
Buy online from  www.cameragrip.co.uk

2.50 UK Postage

Ideal for Sony A1/HC1
On the A1 and the HC1 the tape is loaded in the base of the camcorder, making it awkward to change the tape if the camera is used on a tripod. The Tripod Adaptor fits between the
camcorder and the camera release plate raising it by 50mm, which leaves enough room for the tape to be replaced without removing the camcorder, or the release plate from the tripod. This enables the operator to quickly change tape whilst the camcorder remains on the tripod.
N.B. For the adaptor to work it only fastens half way across the base of the camcorder, and as the plastic casing of these camcorders is very thin, the camcorder is not as rigid as it would be when mounted directly to a large release plate.

Tripod Adaptor
Size:- L50mm x H50mm x W30mm.
     

SINGLE SHOE ADAPTOR
Product Code SSA 
Buy online from  www.cameragrip.co.uk

It is raised by 20mm to clear the  shoe cap making it easy to attach microphones, lights etc.

Its simple design has brought the cost of a stabilizing unit down to a price you can afford, yet it is still as effective as other stabilizers currently on the market. A unique adjustable pivot cup, with fine trim, enables you to smoothly control the direction of the camera. Other features include a quick release camera plate with a greater trim movement to allow for a wide angle lens or larger batteries to be attached to the camcorder. A selection of counterbalance weights are supplied for balancing the different weights of camcorder.

CAMFRAME
Product Code CF  
Buy online from  www.cameragrip.co.uk
Ideal for Sony A1/HC1/7
Extra stability is achieved as the camcorder is held by both hands.
How does it work? The camcorder mounts onto the base of the frame, slightly to the right to enable the flip-out screen to be used to monitor your shots. Also on the base of the frame is a mounting point for a tripod quick release plate, as well as a mounting point for a monopod. To the right and left are handgrips to hold the Camframe. It is the combination of your left and right hand 30cm apart, plus your arms in front of you, that give the camera a stabilizing effect. Just above the right and left handgrips is space for a clamp-on camcorder remote control, ideal if you are using a Sony or Canon camcorder that has a lanc socket (more details). At the top of the frame there is another handgrip for carrying the Camframe or it can be used when taking low shots. Either side of this handgrip are accessory shoes onto which you can add an external light or microphone.

Price excludes all accessories shown.
Size:- W30cm x H20cm x D3cm.
