SMALLRIGL-Shape Bracket Wooden Grip with Cold Shoe for Sony ZV1 Digital Camera - 2936

Extremely good build quality. It feels heavy, not insanely so, but enough to tell that it was made with care. It's only connected by the base, but feels firm and locked in during movement. Wood looks realistic, not cheap. Doesn't fade over use or time. I'd buy again if I ever misplaced it

This SmallRig L-shape bracket with wooden grip for the Sony ZV-1 solves a couple of critical problems with the camera - mainly that out of the box you can't open the battery compartment when it's on a tripod because the door is too close and the baseplate will prevent it from opening. That is a serious problem when you are using the camera as a webcam like I do most often. This SmallRig bracket lets me attach a tripod mount to the bottom and still have the battery door open with a battery AC adapter plugged in. I can use it as a webcam for 2+ hour meetings with no problems.I've tried taking the camera on vacation to use as a point and shoot to capture some family photos and videos, but the SmallRig handle makes it just a little too big to be pocketable. That's a shame because I don't often like to carry a backpack or bag with me. I'm currently looking for a bottom bracket that isn't quite as bulky.I do like the extra grip and the wooden handle looks really sharp. If that's the look you're going for this SmallRig bracket looks top notch and is made extremely well.

This bracket is amazing on the Sony ZV-1. Not only does it offer an extension to the small grip included on the camera. It also has extra screw mount holes on the bottom and the side of the camera. So if you want to shoot vertical you can do so without having to alter your tripod. The extra holes on the bottom help with being able to remove the battery/SD card especially on the ZV-1 without removing the tripod. All in all a great investment and very worth it for what it adds to the camera.

I wanted to start carrying a camera daily with me and leave my larger full frame cameras at home. Just something to take better photos/video of my kids in a day-to-day setting. The ZV1, to me, is a MUCH better value than the RX100 VII. Obviously slightly different use cases, but for what it is, it's great. But that little tiny grip left a LOT to be desired. Entire the Smallrig L bracket with the wood grip. It looks super classy. It's very light so doesn't add much heft to the camera (important for my EDC desires) and the grip is just enough to feel secure in the hand. It's designed perfectly to not extend out past the lens when the camera is off, so it doesn't add much bulk dimensionsly to the camera's slim dimensions either. Overall it's a home run.

overall great quality, I also bought the ZV-1 M2 version, both great grips.

He's very happy with this. It fits the zv1 original phenomenally and adds just enough grip without making it too hard to fit in a pocket. Even though I should shoot crop sensor, I have wanted a smaller all-in-one package. The zv1 with this fits my needs absolutely perfect.

Prior to this, I had purchased the UURIG L bracket for my Sony zv1, but found it very heavy, and difficult to open the screen with two fingers (as I prefer to do) and to remove the SD card. This bracket handles both of those issues perfectly. I couldn't be happier!

This is a great addition for the ZV1. Makes it feel a lot more robust and protected, specially in the bottom of the camera. Also, it improves the grip a lot. The best part is that it lets you change the battery or remove the SD card without removing it from the tripod, which is absolutely comforting and a very annoying issue of the ZV1. The holes for attaching more accessories and the cold shoe are also great additions.
