Essential accessory
My wife and I bought this for our Optura 2000MC to go on our honeymoon and found this to be very useful for day long excursions. We hardly needed to look at the power bar the whole time. Also the size was helpful because it helped balance the camera for a steadier shot. Definitley worth getting.

Someday, we’ll laugh at the weight
Remember the cell phones of the 80’s? That’s what this reminds me of. It doubles the weight of the camera. However, the only other downside is that I now need to carry extra tapes because I can now film EVERYTHING I want and not worry about conserving battery time. I burned through almost 2 tapes (on long play) during a day at Disneyland, used the LCD screen the entire time and even play-back while waiting in a line.
In hindsight, I wonder if 2 4-hour batteries would be a smarter purchase, but that would be one more item to keep track of. Cameras today are SO small and light, that large hands like mine benefit from the extra weight, but only to a point.
Summary: Extra weight, but allows you to completely forget about time, and concentrate on shooting anything and everything that you want to.

wonderful
I’ve used this a lot more than I originally planned. It has a clip on the bottom that neatly attaches to a tripod, allowing you to easily zoom and record without touching the camera. It also has a zoom speed dial. This is really nifty because you can make it your standard control (the harder left or right you push the faster it zooms) or you can set it to a number and it zooms at that speed only. No more video where it takes off from you.

This was designed for Canon cameras, but works on any camera with a LANC connector. Used them on Sony Super8 cameras and worked amazing.
