OVERVIEW:
This used to be my favorite (budget) speed booster, but I learned that if your camera has IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization) it can damage the sensor IF YOU DROP THE CAMERA!

CONCLUSION:
These reviews are just my opinion and are focused on my Q.P.A.C.E. packing method, so they're not comprehensive. I wrote these mostly to help me remember what items worked for my KIT PLANS (and which didn't). If I said anything negative I apologize, as these products still may work well for you in your situation, but they were not Q.P.A.C.E (Quality, Portable, Affordable, Common, Easy-to-Use) enough for my budget filmmaking KIT PLANS.
