I've pretty much phased out using my old camcorder for filming and making edits, GTSing, etc. and have begun to use my new Nikon D5000. But its proving a little unwieldy when I'm trying to get a shot at a weird angle or something. Are there any mounts or handles that I can by that I can connect to the camera that you guys know of?

i have no experience whatsoever filming with hdslr cameras, but i'm quite sure you can get an extra large battery pack that forms a grip on the side and bottom of the camera....
that might facilitate the filming from "weird" angles.... :)
