The GoPro action cameras are synonymous with capturing exciting video. Â But what if you want to hold the tiny camera instead of strapping to your helmet or the handlebars on your bike? Â The Kamerar KamPro Handle Kit is a flexible and clever way to do just that.
Inside the KamPro Handle Kit is a neatly arranged series of parts that can be pieced together to suit your handheld needs.
Comes with the handle, hot-shoe adapter, two arms, threaded knobs and smartphone holder.
The supplied handle is coated in a soft-touch paint that provides a bit of grip.
Out of the box, the handle comes with this strange looking plate.  It’s a hotshoe adapter.  What for?  Keep reading.
The handle has a red dial that unscrews the adapter.
The most basic setup: Â GoPro attached (frame mount not included).
Now, what do you do with all those bits that come in the box? Â I put together this rig using the smartphone holder. Â Why?
With the GoPro wifi app (iPhone shown here) you now have a viewfinder for your GoPro.
Let’s add a few more parts!  Here, the GoPro is inverted for a lower orientation.
What if you want to take a selfie? Â No problem.
Presto!  Now you record yourself and make sure you’re in frame.
Speaking of frames, the included smartphone holder is spring-loaded and opens to 3″ wide.
There is a little rubber pull tab that makes opening and closing a little easier.
Remember that hotshoe mount?  Well, here’s a GoPro attached to my Fuji X-E2. (link to Mark’s review)
The hotshoe adapter has a locking nut that holds it securely in place.
If you really want to go nuts, the smartphone holder also works, too.  I really don’t know why you’d want to do this, but you can!
I had no idea a simple handle kit could have so many interesting ways to play.  The Kamerar KamPro Handle Kit is going into my collection of problem-solving tools for my GoPro needs.
