  • I'm left-eyed and I own a smaller SLR without a battery grip (D3000, Rebel etc.) and the eyepiece is rested so low on top my shoulder that I have to nudge my head forward and under the eyepiece, and it's a lot more uncomfortable to me (especially when holding heavier lenses) than the usual stance. Oh well, I haven't had any serious problems yet with regards to stability, so I guess I'll stick to my old stance, which is leaning backward instead of the forward "easter egg" stance.

  • I'm glad I clicked on a link to this,I haven't gotten my first DSLR yet,but this will save me from many bad pics I will be taking,thanks!

  • shit this guy knows how to hold a camera. im glad hes not a sniper lol

  • After check this out, go to his profile and take a look at his first uploaded video (the first 14 seconds)...

    That's what I did, and... well... was funny x)

  • Not applicable if you shoot upside down...

  • Not applicable to shooting vertically...

  • thanks Joe, I am right eye and hand for fourty years until I watched this vid. Da Grip does save you a stop or two, my right hand still has full control of the camera, but my back feels a hell of a lot beter in the morning. Thank You!!

  • like this video

  • Wow, thanks! I suffer from a hand tremor which I have been cursing for years in low light situations. Just tried this technique and makes a huge difference.

  • Nice tip! Works well in horizontal position, but not possible or rather uncomfortable when in vertical position. Any tip perhaps for what?
