at the dv expo show in nyc last wed i saw a demo of a device a lot like the mini rover but a bit more adjustable with a place underneath to put your wireless receiver, i had gotten his postcard with the web page address and i can't find it anywhere.
i think it was called the jimmyhandle.com or something like that, but i can't find it on the web or anywhere.
it was interesting, seemed a lot more solid than the alternatives, i know i have grown to occasionally hate my mini-rover when it loosens up because i have the tripod plate under it and its a pain in the ass to have to take off the plate for my 503 and then tighten then mini rover and put it all back together.
plus a major feature was that the arm was adjustable so you could put it at a greater than 90 degree angle, and even put it close enough that you can focus while still holding the camera.
with the mini rover i have to take my hand off of the hand rest to get to the focus ring.
so anyway, does anyone know what piece of equipment i'm talking about and the address to get more info??
