Cinematographer's handle. Ergonomics. Aesthetics. Wood.

[Hrvoje Simic]

Bringing this to life was a pleasure.

The idea...a handle which fits the hand like a glove, causes minimal strain and brings a creative feel to a creative tool.

This is the outcome.

Handle can be acquired through:

EDIT:

More pictures of a finished handle on pages 5 and 7.

The following was taken during development:









Work in progress, still some tweaking left.

gj!

 

[Jake Wilganowski]

[Julio Quintana]

I would love a left hand version that mounts on 19mm rods. Great work.

 

[Russ Fill]

+1 and make it attach by a rosebud.

 

[Hrvoje Simic]

Thanks, guys.

My hand informed me it hated the pipes and stuff and had a bunch of requests, so I listened. The eye had a few requests as well.
This changes the feeling to what it should be.

Still a few things left to improve...

 

[David Kellermann]

Totally awesome!

 

[Vithya Sharma]

Wow...Grade Design .. when n market?

 

[constantine Tirintzis]

this is one wonderful piece of art, if I might say so.

looks like its crafted by hand, and its the best good looking handle Ive seen so far

congrats

 

[Nils Ruinet]

Looks great ! My hands might be interested as well

 

[Hrvoje Simic]

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it.

There is a lot of love put into this. I've improved the design a bit.

Regarding mass production, I'm getting the same requests from close colleagues who seem to have trouble letting it go.
I can check the options after I'm satisfied with this.
It should be mentioned that the industrial design protection is being taken care of.

Thank you Constantine. It was envisioned as a sculpture honoring the Craft, the Cinematographer and the hand which connects him to his tool.
Crafted by hand.

Bullseye!

 

[Hrvoje Simic]

Refined some curves and shapes. Less bulky appearance, more elegant and organic overall feel.
Improved thumb position, fingertip angles & palm fit.

Also, likely reduced wind drag. To a minor extent. Probably more noticeable at >200 Km/h though.
Can't be too careful about a wind drag.

 

[Marcello Altieri]

Love it...just got one made by vocas but I wish I can buy the left side soon and maybe from you;-)

 

[Hrvoje Simic]

Mounting solution is on the way, plus the optimal protective treatment of the wood necessary to cope with continuous on-set usage.

I have managed to check the options for a proper production of this handle.
Respected creative colleagues with interest can contact me over a PM.

 

[Norbert Jalitsch]

wow, sooooooo nice !!! i already own the vocas grips, but yours are much sexier !!!

[Matt Gottshalk]

Sweet.

Would be cool to see a red start/stop button on there.
