SMALLRIGCamera Top Handle Cheese Handle Grip with Built-in Shoe Mount for Camera Rig, Camera Cage - 1638

I love SmallRig products. I have a Sony ZV-1 rigged up in a SmallRig cage, and needed some additional mounting space as well as a better handle.This was on sale - probably my fault for not reading the compatibility, but it doesn’t fit exactly on the top of the ZV-1 cage. It’s still plenty sturdy with just the one bolt, but JFYI for anyone else thinking of doing the same, SmallRig also make a compact handle for smaller camera rigs that I believe would fit perfectly.So what do you get? A nice sturdy handle with a cold shoe mount on the front, all the mounting hardware required and some Allen keys.Please be aware that the handle does have additional mounting holes all over the top and sides, but actually not on the bottom. So I have a slightly weird setup now where my 10,000 mah battery is mounted sideways in the SmallRig battery bank holder on top of the handle at the back, to counter the weight, rather than hung underneath the handle where ideally I wanted it. My fault though!

A carry handle, along with a camera cage allows you to 'run and gun,' as it were, with video shooting. Smallrig components fit well and work well in combination to aid the process of small camera work for film makers. A handle is essential for a good grip especially with low angle shots. I fix mine pointing forward as I think it helps with handling, but it can fix either way. Threaded holes along the handle allow you to fix other accessories, making this a very useful component in camera work.

Solid and well-made, perfectly functional

This Top Handle is brilliant and super sturdy no doubt, but it is also in my Opinion very pricey, simlar to Smallrig Cages it self, you pay a lot for the good quality, which is ok for me, but makes the review therefor only a 4 Star.It fits perfectly and sturdy onto your Smallrig cage and I have mounted on Top the Monitor with a Coldshoe which also works perfectly fine.If you plan to use a Smallrig Cage this is definitely one of the most needed accessories you need to buy aside mounting hardware such as cold shoes and similar.

Purchased to go with my smallrig frame for a Canon EOS 5D MKII, the smallrig frame is really flexible the camera top handle bolts on really firmly. Comfortable to use, it's not going anywhere!

Nice design very versatile and sturdy. Includes Allen key.

I ordered this top handle for my SmallRig M50 Cage. It comes with thumb screws and a hex tool for making sure that the handle fits securely to the rig. The alignment of screws and holes is perfect, as you would expect. The handle has plenty of holes in it and a cold shoe mount for attaching other kit. I can’t fault the product. It’s a simple but useful top handle to have in your kit.

The product is great and therefore i give it a 5 out of 5. But that does not mean that i recommend it. Definitely having regrets regarding this product. But that's totally my fault. You should go for the Nato handle, so you easily can attach and detach the handle without having the right tools and spending valuable time.

I think smallrig should add more information to the descriptions because I had to go looking around for the information myself and almost did not purchase because of this. I was wondering if it fits other smallrig cages not listed here like the 1584 The answer is yes it does. In fact if you read lower the holes are wider and can accomodate 30-40mm. I installed it on my cage and it's great.The handle is sturdy and long enough for my hand and I have big hands. It's also lightweight and has a very comfortable grip even though it's metal and there's no cushion or anything else around it. But I prefer this as the rail can accommodate many more accessories as well as having the shoe for a monitor, light or microphone. As an added bonus the handle was only $20. Someone here said there are other manufacturers who make better handles for the same price but I haven't seen any they are all $35-40 and at that price smallrig still has other types. I rather keep all my smallrig accessories from the same manufacturer.NOTE: Smallrig has really amazing products. I purchased only a small arm and adapter from smallrig a year ago but this year I purchased big items from them. I almost did not buy for lack of information they provide towards compatibility. I'm sure they don't care but I believe they could sell even more products if people knew they fit all kinds of scenarios. Would you believe I even installed a smallrig cage and matte box on a bridge camera for example? Well it works but good luck trying to find out that information anywhere even on YouTube reviewers of this stuff.

Molto bello, leggero e pratico, si può montare su un Cage con attorno altri accessori, senza occupare spazio prezioso.

Den här är suverän till min lilla fotolampa då den kommer ut en bit mellan min monitor och kamera. Suverän hjälp med att få motivet lite sidobelyst.

Cette poignée est d’une très bonne qualité et se fixe parfaitement sur sa cage SmallRig. Sa prise en main est très agréable et est assez légère et solide.

Producto como se esperaba de SmallRig, robuto/ligero, para mi gusto podría ser un poco mas largo, quizás un poco más por la parte delantera para aprovechar el agarre con el dedo índice, y algunas hendiduras para un mejor agarre, como en otros Top handles, pero por el precio que tiene merece mucho la pena, tiene muchos orificios lo que facilita el acople de otros accesorios, por esto y por el precio fue por lo que decidí comprarlo. Muy recomendable sin duda, estoy muy contento 9/10.
