Actually it is. The HDR-CXC360 has a dedicated A/V R port which is the plug this uses.For newer cameras you just need a Multi to A/V R adapter.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CDIE0QW/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

I am not certain for your specific model but I found out the hard way that it is NOT compatible with the SONY HDR-CX430V - The grip has a half round plug and my camera had a small rectangle shaped plug - if you have the half round it should work.

On page 7 of your camcorders manual it shows item 13 to be the oval A/V remote socket. According to Sony this seems to be what makes it "compatable" to the tripod as it matches this connection cable. I've not been able to ascertain if your camcorder has the ability to zoom at a slower than normal rate which the tripod does have the ability to do and it's the only speed I use. Much easier on the viewers eyes. Will that work with yours I cannot say. You have probably found out that the 60 power magnification is pretty useless after about 38 or so. The tripod will help. Again, this information was on the Sony site and your manual which is where I got both. On page 7 of your camcorders manual it shows item 13 to be the oval A/V remote socket.

Probably not. I've had two Sony camcorders, and both have come with software and cables for importing video from the camera onto a computer. Using the appropriate software and connection that Sony provided will be much faster for importing video, as this device is only capturing the signal as fast as it is played (like a VCR). My older camcorder connected to a firewire port (also known as IEEE 1394) which is not always found in newer laptops/pcs, so if you were desperate, you could use the ION. My newer one uses PMB software and the camera connects to a USB 2.0 port. In some cases, you can save to a memory stick and then use a card reader on your pc for the memory stick.

The grip has several cable offerings for different cameras. Mine is a Sony. I had to contact the seller to get the correct cable for my camera. The camera manuel should tell you where to plug it in. I also have a cable releaqse that plugs in the same place on the camera.

This is specifically for Nikon but Polaroid has one for Sony :http://www.amazon.com/Polaroid-Handgrip-Stabilizer-SLT-A33-Digital/dp/B008FC3G6A/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid;=1419149733&sr;=8-14&keywords;=camera+pistol+grip+sony

I have shot full and cropped sensor cameras. My son is a professional photographer and we both think it should work on many of the battery grip kits because the straps on the top and bottom of the grip are adjustable. Will this grip be challenged if you are using a larger format camera and a battery grip kit, like that on a Canon 5DmkIII? Possibly, but I believe the straps would allow adequate room for adjustment.

Hi Jackie, the SDXC memory card is not compatible with this unit. SDXC cards are only for use with camcorders that could shoot in 4K. The compatible cards are Memory Stick Pro and SD/SDHC. Thanks_Mitch

Yes. that would be correct. Just need to make sure that your camcorder is able to rewrite as some do not.

I asked the same question to smith and wesson support since that was the grip they sold on their website for my gun. Luckily their customer support sucks and 2 days after I received it through Amazon and installed it they emailed me saying it couldn't be used for my gun. The grip comes with a piece that the pin holds in place and has a spot for the grip to screw into that so the original grip on the gun looks like a different pin and screw position then the Hogue grip, but it works. Rubber grip helps with shooting the gun since it is a smaller lighter. Gun and the rubber helps keep it stable. The pin is a little difficult to get in place but if you tap it in with a small hammer and pin set it fits. I had to file down the piece that the new grip screws into (plastic) to fit into gun handle properly but I just used the file on a leatherman combo tool

It tells you its a grip made by newer. Just a different company who makes a Cannon grip. Works great. It is not by Cannon. But alot of accessories for Cameras are not by cannon. :)

Dr. Marty, I would HIGHLY recommend getting this grip, especially versus the Canon version. I was hesitant at first buying an aftermarket item for my Canon. I have been a loyal Canon user and have many Canon products for DLSR and video. I bought the Neewer grip and the 3 compatible Wasabi batteries, in addition to the Canon battery my camera came with. It has increased the shooting duration exponentially. (Note: Some people reviewed the Wasabi batteries as marginal or not lasting. I have been using them for 6 months now and they keep a charge and supply ample power.) Sure the grip is a little bulky, protrudes slightly out from the camera body, and may make it cumbersome for some camera bags, but I also purchased an Ape Case 2000 to accommodate that and the fit is excellent. If your shooting video, you NEED the the battery to back up the shoot. Having spares on hand helps. Having a grip with dual batteries is the answer. Bottom line, you should not be disappointed. Any more questions, email me at info at kalepiemedia dot com. Steven

The grip will mount to the camera without any issues. You would need to use the correct trigger Sony cable for your camera to take advantage of the grip mounted trigger.

I believe that most, if not all, Canon products use SD (Secure Digital) cards or miniSD cards. This product is a Memory stick which is mostly compatible with the Sony products. Also, I believe that the 2GB size might qualify the card as SD HC (which is a high-capacity card).. so in order to compatible with your camcorder and camera they would advertise that your product is SD HC compatible. I would stick with a lower capacity SD card (under 1gb) just to be on the safe side. Hope this helps!

I have an older model, HDR-CX110 and it attaches like in the photos for the grip. You might have to do a search to figure out whether the grip is compatible with your camcorder. Assuming that it is compatible: For mine, there is a threaded screw hole in the bottom of the camera with a second, non-threaded hole in front of it. If you have purchased the grip already and have it in hand, you will notice that on the top by the screw, there's a little post that flips up and out. You will be able to turn the grey notched wheel to make the screw turn into the threaded hole. The flip up post will go into the non-threaded hole. The post's function is to sure the camera doesn't twist around. The round grey button on the right hand side allows the handle to swing into an angle comfortable for you to hold. Next, I opened the flip out cover on the right side of my camera labeled "DC IN" and "A/V R." I plugged the cable from the grip into the semi-circular port and that was pretty much it. I could use the controls on the grip to control the camera.

I don't believe so. I checked on line and I think that your camera takes the NP-BN1. This one is the NP-BG1. As similar as they appear, they are definitely not interchangeable, because I bought the NP-BN1 for my camera by mistake, locally running in to store quick, it looked so similar that I tried it anyways... no go.
