Shoot Tools — VariZoom DVRigXL

Extended quick-release plate. Price: $599

Most support braces and other stabilizing rigs are designed for smaller or standard-size camcorders. But users of larger camcorders, such as the Canon XL1 and XL2, don't have as many products to choose among. That's one reason to take a look at VariZoom's DVRigXL. The shoulder support includes an abs support; it uses a waist belt to distribute the camera weight and provide shock absorption. The support uses three spring-loaded telescopic sections, which dampen camera shakes and bounces. A battery mount can replace the back-weight plate, which provides a counterweight to hold the camcorder on your shoulder.
