Does somebody have zacuto top handle ?

I have it, and I must say it does the job. very sturdy, and the handleless tip is good for mounting stuff. solid piece of work...
But do bear in mind that it does prevents the onboard screen from being flipped all the way up - so low shoots suffer her.. I use it with an external monitor mounted so its no problem, but will be if you only use the onboard.. that said the SOILID feel - mhh good stuff.

good luck.
 
Thanks for the answer
Does it still prevents the monitor to be flipped totally when the handle is mount on the front (not on the back as shown in the picture ; when the handle is reversed, above the lens )
 
It does unfortunately. with the handle pointing forward the lcd can still only be flippet up to a 90 degree angle - as in pointing straight up, and no further forward than that. It will bug you when shooting low angle or from the hip if you are not using an evternal monitor..
 
Ofcourse there is a top handle that permits total access, instant 360 rotation and an included cheeseplate ;)
 
I have just received Zacuto handle - and it s working perfectly well with the FS100. It doesn t block the lcd monitor at all. Even with the wiewfinder on the monitor you can use the handle...Maybe tscav you have the older version of this handle, which was lower and not built for the fs100 especially...

They have just released a new version that gets rid of these issues.

I have an older version however for around $100 you can 'adapt' the
old version with the newer parts to have a better functioning product.
 
Caleb is right! (above). i looked at the zacuto awhile back and was really underwhelmed. when i hear you have to pay an extra 100 to make it fit right- well that's too bad, i don't even feel like thats right. I got the shotgrip which is great but after hearing this I like it better than ever. originally i saw the zacuto only mounts with 2 screws and that the shotgrip mounts with 3 screws and a slotted shoe that slides on the cold shoe rails. that sold me right there. hmm. 4 in a diamond pattern or 2 side by side- hey! i can figure that out! strong is good!! also it comes with a cheesplate - no brainer!! i like my shotgrip- and the monitor fits under the handle!!!!

It's not paying to make it work right when it wasn't advertised to do so.

I was informed it will prevent the monitor from it's normal range of motion.
I was also instructed there will be a fix. A new product to combat this issue soon,
and it's arrived. I adopted early for a project as I needed a handle immediately.

Self induced issues must be seen as such.
