I had a nice Super 8 movie camera in 1979 but with a major design flaw: the tripod socket was in the base of the pistol grip which made it top heavy. One day I didn't tighten the pan handle enough, the camera fell forward and ripped the bottom off the pistol grip. That kind of thing certainly teaches you a lesson
