Sony XLR-H2 XLR Handle Unit

The XLR handle locks onto the camera body with a reassuring click, and the rubber grip makes handheld shooting much steadier. I can finally balance a shotgun mic without extra rigging.

The weight distribution is perfect with this handle attached—it balances my camera setup way better than I expected. The grip texture is just right for all-day shooting, and the metal build feels rock solid.

Finally, a handle that doesn’t flex or wobble when I’m holding the camera with one hand. The grip texture is just right, and it clicked into place on my rig without any fiddling.
