Top Handle

The SmallRig Camera Top Handle is basically a motorcycle handlebar for your DSLR. Slap it on, and you go from “guy with a camera” to “serious filmmaker” in about ten seconds.Build quality is top notch — all metal, no toy-like flex, with mounting points everywhere for mics, monitors, or even a cold shoe espresso machine (if that ever becomes a thing). The handle feels solid and comfortable, making low-angle shots and camera maneuvers way easier and less wrist-straining.The mounting system is well thought out, locking up tight without wiggle or slop. It’s secure enough that you can carry your whole rig confidently, instead of cradling it like a newborn baby. Pros:✔️ Rock-solid metal construction✔️ Plenty of mounting points✔️ Comfortable grip for long shoots✔️ Makes your camera look and feel “cinema ready” Cons:➖ Adds a bit of bulk (but worth it for the handling boost)If you want to level up your shooting ergonomics and look the part while you’re at it, this SmallRig top handle is a no-brainer. Your camera will thank you — and your hands will too.

This small rig top handle was purchased to use with my Z8 small rig cage. It is superbly made does the job perfectly has a lovely technical look and is provided with numerous screw holes all ready tapped to take other items you may want to fit to it. It came provided with 2 screws and allen key to fit it to the cage.Its lightweight all metal and for me simply perfect for the job intended. Great stuff!

I have a BMPCC 6k, and recently rigged out nearly the entire thing with SmallRig products.I'm blown away at the quality for this price point. Everything is rock solid, feels super comfortable and secure.It's just a top handle, but the cage it connects to (Smallrig) is machined very well, so everything screws together easily and the hex driver is included in case you don't; have one.So far, the only complaint I have about SmallRig in general is with my complete rig, I believe there are three different sized hex drivers I need to carry with me - it would be awesome if they could have a universal solution regardless of the screw size - but considering other brands are double or more the price, I can't imagine what you are getting from them you aren't getting from SmallRig.Great job!

If you’re the utilitarian type, this one’s for you.It’s inexpensive, extremely sturdy, and has tons of mounting holes of different sizes. The grip isn’t terrible but not terrible comfortable either. It has a tad bit of weight to it, which is often a good thing for stability. Super easy to install.

I love this grip and what it has added to my video taking ability. This handle equiped with the small rig cage made me more confident and I had a more stable base to work with when filming. This is a great addition to any film maker (small or larges) camera bag!

I've got the Canon m50 with SmallRig cage and was looking for a handle. This one is well priced and works perfectly. I mount it with the handle over the lens for better weight distribution and balanced handling. It's a great piece and I highly recommend if you need a handle for your SmallRig cage. However, it is not compatible with the SmallRig ZV-1 cage - for that, you will need a different handle model.

This is a well machined, quality painted top handle. I bought so many accessories assembling this rig that I can't possibly write a review for them all. I felt I needed to as I bought this for the BMPCC4K and it works. You can absolutely get this AWESOME handle. Just know though, that the T5 holder gets in the way of it, and fortunately there is play and you can slide the handle over towards the other side of the camera. This is just a tiny bit irritating, seeing that it's slightly off center from the front. I will try to attach a pic to show. Like I said, totally worth it and the best handle at this price. It'll be a while before I think about upgrading it!

This is not essential to operate the camera, but it is extremely handy to have. Usually, I have fear when grabbing the camera of dropping it or smudging the lens or hitting the wrong button (all of which I've done). This handle completely eliminates all worry. It also makes shots taken at arm's length a bit more level and stable. The camera nicely balances when using the handle which is not the case when gripping it directly with one hand. Overall, as a permanent addition to the camera rig, this is quite nice to have.
