I have a GY-HD100 I noticed the 110 has a 3/8 thread in the handle now. If I were to buy the top half of the handle could I just swap mine out to get the thread. I really hate the hot shue only thing. Also How much do you think the top of the handle would be?

I think there are 3rd party camera support companies that may have a clamp on solution for you. Maybe zacuto?

changing the handle is a non-trivial job. there is a heat sink in the handle, as well as lots of wire / switches. better to look for a 3rd party product to do the job... and don't forget the front of the handle is not the strongest thing in the world - see my post on the DYI handle repair

I havent taken it apart yet but it looks like I onlu need to replace the top side of the "clam shell" not the whole handle.

check this out. Don't take apart the handle! This us just what you need.

perfect for your needs. Also check out their other products. Cool stuff. Good luck

I have the HDV Handle that Matt has referenced. It is perfect for the JVC camera. You can adjust it along the JVC handle for balance. It works just fine.
