SmallRig Push-Button Rotating NATO Handle, Quick Release Handgrip for DLSR Camera Cage Kit, w/Built-in NATO Rail, Left Side - 3260

Slides right into my black mamba cage from Smallrig,Supper easy setup with great quality!Handle rotates to meat your most comfortable position. I love mine!

The functionality, comfort and ease of adjustment of this accessory is exactly as advertised. High-quality and easy to grip with comfort, a must buy!

I ordered 3 different handles from multiple companies including the wooden handle. This is the one to get for shooting weddings and music videos where the angle is changing on the fly. I wish they made it for the right side too.I'd say get it over any other handle. The build is really good and it's super easy to adjust so you can focus on filming. It also fits my bigger than normal hands.

This is a high quality product made out of aluminum and grippy rubber. The rotation function is excellent and allows you to quickly adjust your grip based on your recording position. The grip is good enough that you can hold your rig one handed from the side, for when you need to touch some buttons/dials on your camera which are not reachable with the right hand on the camera's grip. You need a nato rail on the side, but a lot of smallrig cages have those on the left side at least. I used to use a top handle, but after adding a monitor, the rig became too tall and top heavy, and I like a more compact rig with this handle on the left side, and the monitor in the hotshoe. I can still do low shots, because I can hold the camera with both arms extended down.

For reference I also own the Smallrig Wooden 2093 and also the HSS2425. The ability to get a comfortable and less restricted grip, especially when recording low or high is what really sells this. With the other non-rotating grips you are forced to keep that neutral grip and angle of your wrist. So this one makes it much easier. The movement once the button is depressed is very fluid. Not jerky at all.Now the cons, while the movement is fluid, its the actual action of pressing the button that requires more effort than I would like. It is not hard but I really do not like the location (right where your thumb is.) Not only would a pointer or middle finger release be better, but also you have to make sure that you do not have any tension, or movement in a front or back motion, when trying to release it. This will cause jerking and tension when trying to release and rotate the grip.I think muscle memory will make this grip easier to use over time. I need to know how much pressure I have to put to completely unlock it without any jerkyness. Overall it is very good. I still would like a different button placement to rotate the grip and also less jerky would be nice. Overall, when compared to the other grips this one is better. If you are looking to save a few bucks the other grips are still very solid and I think the wooden one has the best ergonomics. I have not been disappointed with any Smallrig grips so whichever style you think you'll enjoy the most have at it. A grip makes a difference so I do recommend at grip for anyone. While they are used more for videography than photography, I have also noticed the benefit of using it while making pictures.

I should have bought this handle a long time ago. Paired with a Smallrig Cage on my FX30, the NATO rail is built into the cage and the handle slides right on without any hassle. My only quibble is the foldout screen on the FX30 runs right into my hand when open.

I recently purchased the SmallRig Push-Button Rotating NATO Handle and I am extremely impressed! This handle is incredibly well-made and is perfect for camera mounts with a NATO rail. The handle feels solid in hand, and the push button allows you to quickly rotate it to achieve the desired angle. The rubberized grip ensures a secure hold while shooting, which allows for greater precision when changing angles. Overall, this handle gives me peace of mind knowing that my camera mount won't be slipping during use. Highly recommend this product!

I never write reviews, but SmallRig has been killing it lately. This thing is awesome! I was a little suspiscious of how sturdy the handle would be, given that it rotates. It truly works amazingly. Rotation is super easy and smooth. But it's not at all flimsy. It locks in place positively and easily. We'll see how well it holds up to life on set. But I have full confidence in this gadget. Nice job!
