For those of us who carry two cameras/lenses to sports events, to try to cover the whole field, this is a great option. Whilst it is heavy to carry (there is a lighter Sunway version), set up is really quick and it makes it so much easier to focus on the game, rather than juggling cameras between a single gimbal and a hand held.

Interesting. What lenses you have on them?
 
Ah, that makes sense. I couldn't see from the pic what they were and I was eyeballing that maybe 400 + 600 which sounded strange. Having 100-300 makes perfect sense.

Wish I had that setup, sounds like a dream. Also sounds like plenty weight to carry to the field :)

I'm trying to build my core! 🤥 🤣
 
Looking at the photo, the left camera's hand grip is right up against the plate that I'd imagine your hand would have to make some awkward adjustment to shoot?
 
It's an iPhone shot and a bit of an optical illusion. The plate that I think you're referring to is connected to the lens plate, far forward from of where you grip the camera with your right hand. Perhaps, look at the hand strap on the right hand camera to get the idea. It's the same as the left and attaches to the plate on the bottom of the camera. The left looks like it's all one plate but there is one on the camera, for the strap, and the one on the lens, which is far forward of the camera. Hope that helps.
