This handle provides significant stability and better weight distribution for rigs up to 10 kg, making it ideal for long-form filming sessions.

FAQs
Does this handle include a cold shoe mount?
No, it features built-in accessory mounts for screws and arms, but you should use a cold shoe adapter if you specifically need to slide a shoe-mount accessory onto the handle.
Can this be used on the left or right side?
Yes, the handle is reversible and can be mounted on either the left or right side of your camera cage depending on your preference.
Is it compatible with all camera cages?
It is compatible with most cages that feature 1/4-20 locating screw holes. Please verify your cage specifications before purchasing.
What is the maximum weight limit?
The handle is rated to support rigs weighing up to 10 kg.
Is the silicone grip removable?
The silicone grip is permanently bonded to the handle structure for durability and should not be removed.
Troubleshooting
The handle rotates or wobbles when in use
Ensure the anti-twist locating pins are properly seated in the cage holes and that the main 1/4-20 screw is tightened fully.
Difficulty attaching to the cage
Check if your cage has 1/4-20 threads; this handle specifically requires locating holes for the anti-twist feature to function correctly.
Accessories attached to the handle feel loose
Verify that the accessory mounting screw is tightened to the correct depth and that the accessory base is flush against the handle surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, align the 1/4-20 screw with the locating holes on your compatible camera cage. Tighten the screw firmly using the provided tool or integrated thumb-screw. Ensure the anti-twist pins are seated correctly within the cage's receiving holes before fully tightening. The handle is compatible with most standard SmallRig and third-party cages that offer standard 1/4-20 locating points. To maintain the device, wipe the silicone grip with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might degrade the silicone material. If the attachment screw becomes loose, verify the locating pins are fully engaged with the cage surface.
