Given the fact that just about every new compact digital camera released onto the market nowadays is capable of recording at least 720p videos, there's also an increased need for various solutions that will grant these tiny devices a higher level of stability, and this is exactly the type of product you'll read about as follows, namely the Point’n'Shoot Pro external camera grip.

Designed and manufactured by a company called Zacuto USA, this device will allow users to obtain much steadier videos, while in the same time not being forced to carry around a tripod with them at all times in order to do so.

This is partly due to the fact that the Point’nShoot Pro comes equipped with a 0.25-inch 20 screw mount and will work with any camera that has corresponding tap installed.

Moreover, in order to make the whole solution even more versatile, the handgrip also features a special thread on the bottom side, thus allowing users to install the Point’nShoot Pro and attached camera to a tripod.

“The Point’n'Shoot Pro is my favorite Zacuto product. I originally made it just for me,” says Zacuto owner, Steve Weiss, who then also added that “I love to use point and shoot cameras to shoot video, especially now that you can shoot full 1080 24p."

"Trying to hold one of those tiny cameras steady is impossible but the Point’n'Shoot makes it the steadiest camera in the world. Having the quick-release makes it so I can put the camera in my back pocket and the Point’n'Shoot in the other. It’s a must have,” Mr. Weiss concluded.

And best of all, the Point’n'Shoot Pro is not even that expensive, compared to some of the other digital camera accessories available on the market, given the fact that it sells for just around 89 US dollars, which is a rather OK price point, all things considered.
