user guide

CameoGrip

 is a retro-style, electronic handgrip that 

can control camera and lens functions for cameras 
that support the LANC remote control protocol, as 
well as Sony cameras with a Multi-Terminal port.

It can be mounted three ways: Bolex-style under a 
small camera, as a handgrip on an over-the-shoulder 
camera, or on a pan-arm grip using a third party 
clamp.
