The VZ-LSP is designed specifically for the popular "prosumer" camcorders which are smaller than traditional shoulder-mount cameras, including the Sony VX-1000, DSR-200, TRV-900; and Canon's XL1 & GL1.The VZ-LSP insures a stable shooting platform by providing three points of body contact: shoulder, hand and abdomen. The LSP may also be configured with or without the ab support depending on shooter preference.Attach your camcorder to the shoulder brace camera platform using the camera's tripod mounting receiver with the included knurled screw. Then position the camera platform (forward, back, up or down) so that the viewfinder or LCD monitor meets the eye comfortably.
