I've been looking for a handle for my M50 mark 2 camera rig for a while now but didn't want to spend a fortune for one as I try to work on a budget. This one came in at £26 with the NATO rail included and was exactly what I was looking for. It has plenty of 3/8 mounting points 5 hot shoe mounts and even has an ARRI mounting point on the front if you choose to use it. The rubberized part of the handle ensures a decent grip and has been made to fit the fingers even for those like myself with larger hands. The unit itself fits very well onto my Smallrig cage and I have had no issues with it coming lose and rattling around. And the NATO has been designed so that even if the handle did come lose you precious equipment wouldn't go crashing to the floor which is an excellent safety feature. The unit doesn't weight much either so doesn't actually add much at all to the weight of my rig. For the price I paid and the features this handle has I'm very pleased with it. And for anyone looking for a good top handle at a very fair price I would definitely recommend giving this handle a look.

Bought this to go with the smallrig 3940 cage on my Nikon Z8 Nice build quality. Quick and easy to attach and supports a Atomus Shogun Ultra. Plenty of screw holes to add other attachments. I have big hands and the size is adequate for me. I suspect after a days use it will start to feel a little uncomfortable and I’m considering an upgrade to one with a wooden grip. However, this one offers great value for money.

As described, useful handle that you can add extra to suit your needs

A very solid well engineered product, very happy with this purchase

I have to say of all the handles i've used, this is the most comfortable for this price range (under 40). However, after around 3-4 hours of use my hands start to slip with the rubber ! I heard great things about this handle, yes, it has excellent mounting points for monitors etc but I wish the finger indents were slightly deeper for better grip, the rubber is just too thin.

Does what it need to and good quality

Great, fits nicely and helps with handling.

i love this handle, super comfortable to hold and many points to expand my rig on, the quick nato rail removability works flawlessly and is strong. i also love the fact that here on amazon you get the quick release rail included (you cant even find this same model of rail separately) the rail is nice and flat and isn't in the way when the handle is removed.

Prodotto di eccellente qualità, come da tradizione SMALLRIG. La maniglia è molto solida, realizzata con materiali resistenti e con finiture curate. Il sistema di sgancio rapido su rail NATO è estremamente pratico e permette di montare e smontare la maniglia in pochi secondi.

J’ai acheté cette poignée supérieure SMALLRIG universelle pour compléter ma configuration vidéo, et franchement, elle fait très bien le job. Dès la prise en main, on sent que c’est du solide : l’aluminium est de très bonne qualité, rien ne bouge, et l’ensemble inspire vraiment confiance. Ce que j’apprécie le plus, c’est la polyvalence. Grâce aux multiples pas de vis, aux points de fixation et au cold shoe intégré, on peut y mettre facilement un micro, une lampe ou un moniteur. Ça rend le setup beaucoup plus pratique et propre. Le montage est rapide, la poignée tient parfaitement, et elle améliore vraiment le confort lors des prises de vue en mouvement. Points que j’ai aimés : Construction robuste et pro Très confortable pour filmer à la main Beaucoup de points de fixation (1/4", 3/8", ARRI, cold shoe…) Installation simple et sécurisée Compatible avec plein de cages et d’appareils Petits bémols : Un peu lourde si on cherche un setup ultra léger Pas toujours 100% universelle : il faut vérifier sa cage ou son rig avant Le prix peut sembler un peu élevé, mais on paye la qualité SMALLRIG En résumé : Une excellente poignée pour améliorer la stabilité et la prise en main lors des tournages. Solide, pratique et vraiment utile si vous travaillez en vidéo. Je recommande sans hésiter !

Produit de grande qualité comme toujours chez Smallrig. Fixé sur la cage de mon Canon R5 mkII, parfait
