ChromLives Camera L Bracket Mount Video Grip review: it’s an L-bracket Jim, but not as we know it

ChromLives Camera L Bracket Mount Video Grip.

ChromLives might be a name you’ve never heard of but it crops up on Amazon in many countries around the world. It’s a Chinese manufacturer of camera brackets and grips, phone mounts, articulated boom arms, lens cap straps and more besides. The item I’m reviewing here aims to be among the best L-brackets and is certainly one of the cheapest, but probably isn’t what you’re expecting.

It’s vaguely L-shaped but perhaps more of a letter C, and has more to do with handheld shooting than the effective use of a tripod. (Image credit: Matthew Richards)
