Rode PG1 Pistol Grip

I was worried the cold shoe mount might feel flimsy, but it locks my microphone in securely with zero wobble. The ergonomic grip makes handheld recording much more comfortable for longer sessions. Exactly what I needed for better audio control.

Grabbed this so I could point my shotgun mic wherever the sound was instead of locking it to the camera, and the cold shoe mount holds it rock solid. The grip itself feels sturdy in the hand and even saved my wrist during a long interview session.

Took this on a hike to film some birds and the cold shoe mount held my mic tight the whole time, no rattling at all. The grip itself is way more comfortable than holding the camera, and the 3/8 thread screwed right onto my monopod.
