What sets the CAMVATE Top Cheese Handle apart is its robust construction and versatile functionality. Crafted from high-quality aluminum alloy, this top handle is not only lightweight but also exceptionally durable, making it an ideal choice for professional photographers and videographers who use DSLR cameras like the Canon 70D, 80D, 5D Mark III, or Panasonic GH5.This sturdy handle is designed with an abundance of 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting holes, allowing for a wide range of configurations to suit your unique shooting needs. Whether you're capturing dynamic action shots or filming in a controlled studio environment, this handle offers the flexibility to adapt to various shooting scenarios.One of the standout features of this handle is the integrated 15mm single rod clamp located at the back. This clamp is compatible with any 15mm rod, providing an extension option for your camera rig. This feature enhances the handle's versatility, enabling you to attach additional accessories for a more comprehensive and professional setup.The handle can be securely bolted onto your camera rig using two 1/4"-20 screws. The adjustable distance between these screws ranges from 30mm to 40mm, ensuring a secure and stable fit for your DSLR camera. With the CAMVATE Top Cheese Handle, you can enhance your camera rig's functionality while ensuring reliable support and stability for your equipment.

Well made and heavy duty. Could have been designed a little smarter, at least for my particular use. 

It's always a gamble when you try t mix rig parts between manufacturers. In my case, I was planning to use this as the top handle on a Smallrig frame for a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K. I figured NATO rail is pretty standard didn't expect any compatibility issues. 

But I was wrong! The way the Smallrig frame is made and where the top integral NATO rail is located, the frame really needs the clamp of the accessory to tighten from the front. That is, the thumb screw for the NATO clamp should be towards the lens mount and not toward the screen. When ordering this Camvate handle, I never noticed this and never thought about which side of the handle the the screw clamp was located. 

Because of this design (both the frame and the handle) these two items just don't work well together. Not particularly either vendors fault. However, it would be great if CAMVATE had designed the handle to be reversible and the NATO clamp turned the other direction. This would not be a difficult design change, but apparently they haven't thought of this issue either. 

Since the handle also includes a short rail, I can still use the handle, but the add on rail adds extra height, weight and chunkiness to the setup.
