Selected User Reviews For SmallRig Camera Top Handle Cheese Handle Grip with Built-in Shoe Mount for Camera Rig, Camera Cage 1638B

If you can't make up your mind or don't want to spend too much money, this is a good place to start
5/5

Will be able to complete the task in a timely manner. This is a good all-around handle that fits well at an affordable price; if you're on a budget and don't know what handle to get, this is a good place to start. I ended up getting a different small rig handle just to have the nato rail and not have to fiddle with 1/4"-inch screws. Every time I wanted to remove it to fit the GH5 cage into a small camera bag, I had to remove 20 bolts. So this was the starting point for judging the top handle winner award (the one I wanted for my rig). As a point of reference, the orange hand is a pair of Home Depot gloves. There is enough room for a hand grip, but if you add accessories to the top handle, it becomes more of a cheese plate. br>I've included two more handles in my selection, for a total of three, and I went with the Small rig handle, which accepts 15mm rods and arri locating pins in the end. I was just drawn to the "Tilta look. ".

All day, every day, a solid, big, strong, universal HDRig! I've seen handles costing five times as much as this one, and I just bought one for $5 less, so I had to replace it with the SmallRig version
5/5

In addition, I added the railrod attachment to my first smallrig handle, which is a fantastic addition. br> The one I just bought in a fit of weakness (as you'll notice from my reviews, I try to get the best quality for the best price-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point-point As a matter of business practice, descriptions are now attached, so no one is to blame, and to be honest, I'm going to use that one. Instead, I simply attached it to a mirrorless camera's mini rig. It's fine for that system, but I've changed my mind about the Tank Cage I thought I'd need on both sides and top. This is a great handle, hard stop coldshoe, 4 M5's hold it on, 3 1/4/20 down the front, and alternating 1/4-20's in the back. THE HANDLE IS 3/8 ALL THE WAY AROUND, WHICH IS VERY LARGE. It feels BIG, it handles BIG, it's as beefy as the ridiculous one I paid almost $160 for, 'thinking I must be missing something in the quality,' I wasn't, it's the typical uneven pricing for highend brands in photog/film, and honestly, I can't see this ever failing, I'm typical fuming uses. Build quality, material, and price point are all AA. It's a good deal, and I enjoy holding it.

I found exactly what I needed
5/5

This was the handle I was looking for, with several attachment points. The screws hold it in place on my cage. Unfortunately, if I want to be able to put it on and take it off tightly, I'll need to bring an Allen wrench. That's a drawback; I wish there were knobs similar to those on my shoulder rig.

Top handle is quite good
4/5

It is not the most comfortable, and removing it requires the use of tools, but it is very well constructed.

5/5

The SmallRig Top Handle was a great purchase for me. Build quality is excellent, and it works flawlessly with my BMPCC 4k. My shopping experience was also fantastic. With a quick turnaround, we provide quick and efficient service. I'd buy from them again in a heartbeat.

TILTA Cage will not fit
5/5

The screw hole spacing on this handle is too wide to fit on a TILTA cage for the Pocket 6K Pro, but it appears to be well made. I had to give it back to them.

Camera's handle

The length is ideal and works well with the easy rig
5/5

Many top handles are too short to provide a secure grip, particularly when adding accessories. This one, on the other hand, is fantastic. It also works well with a simple rig.
