Would you purchase a new side handle, even though...

Would you purchase a new side handle for universal cameras for weapon with a 60wh battery (it will run your camera about 45min)?

Okay, let's say simpler way, would you purchase a battery powered side handle that doesn't communicate with camera?

Handle grip will be look almost identical with original one

I just wonder how you guys think about it.

 

[Louis Maddalena]

I'm not quite following? A battery in handle form?

 

[Owen Rennie]

No. I want my side handles to control all the good stuff. Love that thing

 

[Tom Gleeson]

I agree with Owen a dumb side handle is of limited use. It needs a start/stop and at least some assignable buttons. I have always used my Red Side Handle to control everything.

 

[Elsie N]

I only want 1:1 focus check. But there are buttons on the Sidekick that are programmable so that takes care of that. I'm really liking the current offer of the DSMC Outrigger handle with start and stop button.

 

[Matt Bai]

If it had better ergonomics than the original, and a better grip material. Like a Canon.

 

[James Falco]

How about if it hat wireless control like the Foolcontoll app.
Maybe we just tape an iPhone to a battery. ; )

 

[Joel Arvidsson]

How about if it hat wireless control like the Foolcontoll app.

That I would love if it also still was backward compatible.

 

[Peter Normandia]

This may sound stupid but can you use the side handle, top handle and monitor at the same time?

 

[Fabio Lanzone]

The DSMC1 side handle was almost perfect, I would buy a DSMC2 version. As Matt said, maybe a better grip material would be good.
