Product Information
Full details
The SmallRig Mini Side Handle 2916 is a compact, ergonomic solution designed for mirrorless and digital camera shooters who need a secure grip for handheld video production. It offers a lightweight, customizable interface that allows for quick adjustments between left and right-handed configurations, making it highly adaptable for various shooting styles. While it provides excellent stability and accessory mounting, it is important to note that it requires a camera cage with two standard 1/4 inch-20 threaded holes spaced 18mm apart, limiting its compatibility with cages that lack this specific mounting pattern.

What is the maximum weight the handle can support?
The handle supports a maximum weight capacity of 3.5kg.
Does this handle come with a cold shoe mount?
The handle itself does not have a built-in cold shoe, but it features 1/4 inch threaded holes where you can attach a cold shoe adapter (such as SmallRig 1241).
Is this compatible with any cage?

What materials is the handle made of?
It is constructed from a durable combination of aluminum alloy, plastic, ABS, and polycarbonate.
How do I prevent the camera from falling if the handle slips?
You can attach a wrist strap through the built-in eyelet on the handle for added security.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbles after mounting
Ensure both 1/4 inch-20 screws are tightened fully using the built-in wrench. If the wobble persists, check if the cage threads are stripped or if the screws are fully seated.
Cannot attach to my camera cage
Verify that your cage has two 1/4 inch-20 threaded holes spaced exactly 18mm apart. The handle is not compatible with single-screw or non-standard mounting patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the handle, align the two 1/4 inch-20 screws with the corresponding threaded holes on your camera cage. Use the integrated wrench to tighten the screws firmly to ensure the handle does not wobble during operation.
Compatibility is strictly limited to cages that feature two 1/4 inch-20 holes with an 18mm distance. Before purchasing, verify your specific cage model. To maintain the handle, wipe the metal and plastic surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth after use. Avoid submerging the unit in water or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the ABS and polycarbonate components. Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tightened after heavy use.
