Hi !
Got a problem with my original top handle. The little screw that is suppose to tighten the large "rod" to hold it in the position you wish, doesn't screw in anymore. Tried to replace it and it doesn't work.
Since I don't think there is any solution I'm looking to buy a new handle but I can't find any place that sells it.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks!
 
I would suggest getting something else.... the original handle really is bad. I have the exact same problem with that screw. Caleb Crosbys handle is nice however not sold in Europe. And then theres Berkey systems...
 
I had the same issue. It ended up being that the screw was stripped at the end. When I called Sony and asked for a replacement as I had only had the camera for 7 months they told me it would cost like $50 to get a new one. Since it is "physical damage" it isn't covered under warranty. My solution has been gaffer tape but I think the Zacuto handle will be in my near future.
 
I LOVE my shotgrip handle from Caleb Crosby. Best money I ever spent in regards to my FS-100 rig. When the camera is retired I'll probably just adapt it to my next system.
