Great article Jason. Wonder how well it would do holding a P&S in video mode? Obviously would add more weight.

Similar to John, I'm considering trying this out with an old Flip video camera that I have lying around the house.

The mount actually holds my rather hefty Nikon S9300 fairly well!

My sony camera is too loud to do this. Hearing the click would drive me crazy lol. Google had a nice video on this a while back where the guy was doing live hangouts and showing shut ins what he was doing it was a great piece.

..or get a Canon 1DX or Nikon D4 to capture full resolution stills while videotaping :P although the stills are limited to 1920x1080 :( which is a real bummer.

This feature was SPECIFICALLY designed for Photojournalists who are more and more being asked for both Video and Stills.
