Aputure V-Grip USB Focus Handle with Handheld and Tripod Mounting Adapters

Description

The V-Grip USB Focus Handle from Aputure is an ergonomic remote that allows you to control the video start/stop button, digital zoom, aperture, and the adjustment of your camera settings. The V-Grip allows you to control the focus of a variety of autofocus lenses, manual lenses do not allow autofocus control.

Built into the controller is a 1/4"-20 threaded mounting stud, providing you the flexibility to mount the controller to a variety of devices.
