SMALLRIG Lightweight NATO Top Handle, Quick Release NATO Grip w/NATO Rail for DSLR Camera Cage, Universal Top Handle with 5 Cold Shoe Adapters - 4345 Black

I’ve had a few top handles and I was worried this would be too small for my big hands. But I wanted the nato rail mount.It actually is my favorite top handle I’ve owned. Mounting is a breeze, and the nato rail makes turning it front or back facing super quick.It’s also really comfortable to hold. It’s strong and durable but has a rubberized bottom molded to fit your hand and it fits my hand like a glove.

There couldn't be a better attachment for the smallrig camera cage than the NATO handle. I use this attachment all the time and I absolutely love it. A heavy duty yet lightweight aluminum design is durable for heavy use. The handle itself provides so much versatility for different shooting styles. It increases stability when performing low shots, high shots, and is ideal for quick movements. The handle helps with balancing out your camera rig as well making it easier to carry and use for longer periods of time.The handle also includes a cold shoe mount which is ideal for mounting a myriad of different accessories. I typically mount my shotgun microphone to the cold shoe mount. It just works really well where it's positioned. I could see a small video light being great for this location as well. Having a NATO top handle like this one really opens up some creative doors in the sense of different shooting styles. It gives you the ability to hold your camera rig in different ways and allows you to get unique angles that you otherwise couldn't get without it.I always talk about the quality and durability of Smallrigs products and the NATO top handle doesn't fall short. It's a great design and fits well in the hand and above all, it's comfortable to use. Highly recommend the Smallrig ecosystem if you are looking for great camera accessories!

Really nice addition to my camera rig and love that it can slide on and off easily! Stable and comfortable too.

Espectacular

the handle fit onto my rig nicely and it even came with the hex wrench to attach it which was unexpected but nice. The handle itself has a rough plastic coating to help with grip and it fits my hands quite nicely. I enjoy all the additional mounting options it brings

UPDATE: Smallrig reached out and helped resolve the issue. It's a very nice handle for the money. Not sure why its so cheap actually.Great solid handle and I love grabbing onto it BUTTTT... It's picky with its rails. It will lock onto the rail it came with but trying it on a Smallrig rail which looks identical to the one it came with wont lock on. It wont lock onto a Neewer S5ii cage. It wont lock onto a Nitze Video Assist cage. A bit strange that it didnt want to lock onto the same brand independent rail.So watch out. it may seem like it's locked on but if you push it to the side a little, it will slide. There is a very small limit to how far the lock can go so I sensing a design flaw. Im thinking everyone is using this handle with the included rail and giving this handle 5 stars.

The nato rail doesn't fit the on my Smallrig ZV-E1cage.

Great top handle, its secure, stable, and has plenty of mounts for my rig.
