About SmallRig
In 2009, we launched the brand “SmallRig”, a word meaning “assisting video graphic lovers in a powerful way”, which freed the filmmakers from the burden of traditional sets to enjoy DIY rigs. Users are the best designers. That's why we hold on to the idea of “Customer Comes First, Collaborate to Innovate, Enjoy Being There”. Meanwhile, SmallRig provides specialized services and solutions of shooting suites for users to create more possibilities of capturing the moment & framing the eternal.

I think smallrig should add more information to the descriptions because I had to go looking around for the information myself and almost did not purchase because of this. I was wondering if it fits other smallrig cages not listed here like the 1584 The answer is yes it does. In fact if you read lower the holes are wider and can accomodate 30-40mm. I installed it on my cage and it's great.The handle is sturdy and long enough for my hand and I have big hands. It's also lightweight and has a very comfortable grip even though it's metal and there's no cushion or anything else around it. But I prefer this as the rail can accommodate many more accessories as well as having the shoe for a monitor, light or microphone. As an added bonus the handle was only $20. Someone here said there are other manufacturers who make better handles for the same price but I haven't seen any they are all $35-40 and at that price smallrig still has other types. I rather keep all my smallrig accessories from the same manufacturer.NOTE: Smallrig has really amazing products. I purchased only a small arm and adapter from smallrig a year ago but this year I purchased big items from them. I almost did not buy for lack of information they provide towards compatibility. I'm sure they don't care but I believe they could sell even more products if people knew they fit all kinds of scenarios. Would you believe I even installed a smallrig cage and matte box on a bridge camera for example? Well it works but good luck trying to find out that information anywhere even on YouTube reviewers of this stuff.

This is a very versatile and solidly built handle. There is one observation, however, that is common to all products of this nature with a hollow centre that I have seen.The threaded holes are not threaded all the way through with the same tapped orientation/degree. Therefore, you cannot thread a bolt all the way through to the other side even though the holes are aligned and are of the same thread. I would imagine the manufacturing process to have even been easier to do if this was the case, rather than independently tapping holes on the opposing side.I just wish that this was possible as this would make it even more versatile.

Perfect addition for the SmallRig cage for my Canon M50. This handle can mount just about anywhere and accessories can mount onto the handle itself! Genius! This company seems to take the time and effort into building products that are durable and practical. Worth the money, imo.

Great product and company. Unfortunately it's as over priced as all film gear is but it's a quality product from a quality brand though.

nice handle but I bought it for my canon m50 cage and it sort of blocks one of the cold shoe mounts

Super happy with this handle. Works perfectly on my camera rig cage and I use it for underslung camera use and attaching a boom mic. Certainly looks like it's worth a lot more than what I paid for it. Great Deal!

I love SmallRig products. I have a Sony ZV-1 rigged up in a SmallRig cage, and needed some additional mounting space as well as a better handle.This was on sale - probably my fault for not reading the compatibility, but it doesn’t fit exactly on the top of the ZV-1 cage. It’s still plenty sturdy with just the one bolt, but JFYI for anyone else thinking of doing the same, SmallRig also make a compact handle for smaller camera rigs that I believe would fit perfectly.So what do you get? A nice sturdy handle with a cold shoe mount on the front, all the mounting hardware required and some Allen keys.Please be aware that the handle does have additional mounting holes all over the top and sides, but actually not on the bottom. So I have a slightly weird setup now where my 10,000 mah battery is mounted sideways in the SmallRig battery bank holder on top of the handle at the back, to counter the weight, rather than hung underneath the handle where ideally I wanted it. My fault though!

Cette poignée est d’une très bonne qualité et se fixe parfaitement sur sa cage SmallRig. Sa prise en main est très agréable et est assez légère et solide.

Producto como se esperaba de SmallRig, robuto/ligero, para mi gusto podría ser un poco mas largo, quizás un poco más por la parte delantera para aprovechar el agarre con el dedo índice, y algunas hendiduras para un mejor agarre, como en otros Top handles, pero por el precio que tiene merece mucho la pena, tiene muchos orificios lo que facilita el acople de otros accesorios, por esto y por el precio fue por lo que decidí comprarlo. Muy recomendable sin duda, estoy muy contento 9/10.

Molto bello, leggero e pratico, si può montare su un Cage con attorno altri accessori, senza occupare spazio prezioso.
