Live From NAB: The EX3 Gets A Shoulder Mount…

Closed…

Open!

For all of the nice things that can be said about Sony’s PMW-EX3 camcorder, one of the primary gripes I hear is about is the form factor.  Shooters that are used to a camera that sits on their shoulder can have a very hard time adapting to the Canon XL-esque shape of the EX3.  Those moans have not gone unheard, apparently.  While walking through the Anton-Bauer booth here at NAB 2009, I stumbled across the DM-Accessories EX3-Shoulder.  It is a shoulder mount that is built of very stout aluminum parts, with comfy foam padding underneath.  The reason it was being shown at Anton-Bauer was that it had an A/B Dionic battery mounted on the rear.  When I put the EX3 on my shoulder, it still felt a bit nose-heavy, but then the salesman flipped open the back plate, moving the battery back and balancing the center of gravity almost perfectly. 

It may look a little funny, but it really works.  DM-Accessories sells the EX3 Shoulder and other cool stuff through their website.
