   I have the Sony PMW EX1 and I found the camera very awkward to hand hold too.
   However, after a little searching around, I found a great shoulder brace specifically for the EX1. It’s called the VSB1 and it is from Studio 1 Productions. Here is the link to their site:

   I have been using the brace for the past few days and love.
