Attractive Design
The Create Top Handle mounts via a standard NATO rail: for quick setup and even quicker release. We've made the smoothness of NATO setups even smoother, thanks to a built-in magnet that will automatically center the handle on compatible rigs, such as the Halo.

Low-Profile Monitor Mounting
A great way to keep a low center of gravity on your rig is to counterbalance the monitor against the camera body. Our Top Bar Bracket and Rod Mount system lets you do just that: mount your monitor via 15mm rods for a clean and balance build. And if you need extra space, add the Bar Bracket Spacer to give yourself extra clearance.
Compact Design
The Short Create Top Handle sits lower to its mounting point for a smaller overall footprint for your rig. It can still be extended with our range of Master Handle Extensions if needed: meaning you can customize the shape of your handle to your heart's content.
Hold for Camera
Long days of shooting can take their toll: calloused fingers, sweaty palms and the knowledge that your invoice will probably be paid late. We can't solve everything, but the Create Top Handle's rubber inlay in the grip makes it easier to hold for those long takes, giving you extra comfort on the toughest shoots.
Part of the OpenRig System
Make rigging easier. With the OpenRig system from Bright Tangerine, you can learn one system, once - but have endless possibilities. Whether you need a run-and-gun rig for a documentary or a full cine build, the OpenRig system has the solution.
Compatibility
The Short Create Top Handle Mk II is compatible with any standard NATO rail, with a large open-jaw clamp to attach. Some products such as the Halo Universal Camera Cage (OpenRig) feature a magnetic catch that enables the Top Handle to immediately be centered. The Top Handle is also compatible with our range of Master Handle Extensions, as well as the Top Bar Bracket and Rod Mount ecosystem.
