The FMJ was created to provide an even better experience when using your handheld 'Pistol Grip' gimbal. Gimbal stabilizers have equipped filmmakers of all levels to accomplish smooth cinematic shots with ease.  But what if you also needed to attach an external monitor to see the fine details, a microphone to capture those ambient sounds while filming, or an LED light for those all too common low light situations? Introducing the Full Metal Jacket Universal Gimbal Mount.

The Full Metal Jacket Gimbal Mount is made from aerospace grade aluminum and engineered into a single uni-body design for increased strength. There are 4 quarter inch mounting locations at the top, bottom, center left, and center right offering a variety of mounting options.
The FMJ is a universal mounting attachment with the ability to fit the majority of handheld gimbals with a quarter inch female configuration at the bottom. The fastening cap that secures the FMJ to the gimbal also offers a quarter inch female configuration allowing you to CONTINUE to use tripod for balancing or resting in between shots. Lastly, the FMJ has been bead blasted for a smooth finish and anodized Black.

The Sniper Gimbal Grip is made from a highly durable industrial grade silicone that is skin safe, extremely comfortable, impact resistant, and easy to clean. A 550 type 3 military paracord adjustable wristband is fastened securely at the bottom of the grip offering the user a 2nd chance in the event of an accidental drop.

The Sniper seamlessly and quickly assembles without any tools or excessive parts, protecting the handle of your Zhiyun Crane Version 2, while simultaneously providing more comfort, but maintaining functionality and usability. Attached to a military strength paracord wrist strap, the Sniper grips the Zhiyun Crane Version 2 to safely secure your gimbal to your wrist. Since our initial design, we have gone through multiple revisions to improve the quality of Sniper.

Concept, design, and creation were all major hurdles and obstacles along the way of finally producing a functional sample of the Sniper. Although there seemed to be endless headaches at times, persistence and a relentless desire to make this dream a reality was all the fuel we needed to see this project to its current stage. Currently ready for production, we now ask the Indiegogo community along with the Pistol Grip Gimbal/Zhiyun product supporters, to assist us in raising the necessary capital to create the molds needed to mass produce this product and make it available and affordable to those of us who love the Zhiyun Crane Version 2 Gimbal but want to comfortably and securely protect our investments with a rugged yet stylish accessory.

We've invested a great amount of time planning, designing, and prototyping to ensure we are providing you with well thought out tools that offer value and enhance your filming experience. Please support our campaign TODAY so we can bring The Sniper Gimbal Grip and The Full Metal Jacket Gimbal Mount to market.
