Has anyone removed their grip from their C300 Mk I and used the camera without the grip? I'm wanting to see if I can get the C300 to work on the Allsteady Gimbal. Thanks
 
I presume you’re referring to the handgrip with the record button, joystick and adjustment dial. Yes, you can remove it. It’s not necessary for operation. It’s there more for operational convenience than necessity. Lots of times I’ve never even put mine on, especially when shooting with my 17-120 attached.

Just a word of warning, after you remove it and then put it back on make sure that the plug is FULLY inserted and seated, otherwise the camera will not work properly. I like to give it a little 1/4 turn while pushing in AFTER I feel that it’s already fully seated, just to be safe.
 
Yes you are right that is what I'm talking about Thanks for the info. I have been a bit nervous about removing the handgrip. When I received my C300 (used) it was already attach.
 
I've used the C300 for hundreds of hours and have never had the grip attached, ever. The standard package comes with a screw-on port cover with a molded thumb relief that protects the hole after removal, look for it in the accessories that came with the camera.
