❝I was lucky enough to get to film with a Caman prototype on a Sony Z90 earlier this year; once in the humid jungle of Costa Rica and then in the biting cold weather of Norway.
I must say that the ease of use when framing is a life-changer, but it's really the possibility to access settings during shooting - something impossible before with small cameras - which opened up new horizons and allowed me to shoot more scenes with a camera on the shoulder.
I was surprised how easily I could assimilate the commands assigned to the handle. This just revolutionizes filming...❞

❝I have been a documentary DOP for 30 years. To improve accessibility to shooting functions, I developed the Caman remote control handle.
Years of field-testing enabled me to enhance the product down to the smallest details and today the Caman handle exceeds all my expectations.
