Canon Camera Handle Unit

[Chase Butler]

Ok, so I'm trying to find this Canon "Handle Unit" as it's called on B&H. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Now obviously I could just go and buy the camera it'd come with it, but I don't wanna do that (well, I would love to, but I can't)

I think it depends on the type of camera you have, that is an EOS Cinema camera...$6k

I'm looking for just the handle so I can put it on my DLSR.

That is what I am trying to ask you, i don't know if it is compatible with another camera, even a Cannon. Do you know for sure that it is?[DOUBLEPOST=1385070603,1385070542][/DOUBLEPOST]If not I'd suggest a Tascam 60D and a shock proof hot shoe mic mount.

That handle is built for the Canon EOS C300

You could always get one of these instead? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Camera-Camc...nd-Grip-for-Canon-Sony-DSLR-New-/150910537159

It won't work on your camera. Your need the proprietary input from the C100 that can control/power the XLR section of the handle unit-the handles aren't really available separately. They are, but they cost so much, you're better off buying a whole camera to get one.

Also-your DSLR isn't designed to carry all the weight via the hot shoe, so even if you did manage to get one, the hot shoe would crack and your camera would most likely fall off while you're carrying it by the handle.

That is an instant viral video if I ever heard of one, "Watch DSLR Break via Hotshoe Carrying"

So do you know where I can get one?

Direct from Canon. Don't be surprised if they ask for 80% of the cost of a C100. Why in the world do you want a handle that won't work with your camera and will cost you 8x what your camera is worth?
