Helps make stable video and makes iPhone shooting better ergonomically.

Works really well right out of the box. Using with iPhone 14 Pro. I only wish I purchased sooner. Adding this and a regular handle to the iPhone Case by SmallRig makes for a really nice video rig - more stable than just holding your phone. I learned this by trying it and recommend this solution for anyone recording video - even short clips.

A must have accessory for content creators

Absolutely love this handle for my M50 MK II. I've used it with various lenses including the 50mm and 18-35mm and it works great. It secures tight, has a good grip, and the double screw feature makes me feel more secure about it not going anywhere.

Comfortable and sturdy

This handle is Incredibly sturdy! It can hold up my Blackmagic 6K pro with the lens, ssd, steel cage, and quick release tripod mount I keep attached to the camera. It easily connects to the smallrig cage I keep on the camera with an easily adjusted thumbscrew. The bottom of the handle contains an Allan wrench, held in place with a magnet, that slides into the holes in the thumbscrew to tighten it up for security. Very comfortable to grip.

Works great!

Very sturdy and screws right into my smallrig cage. I slide a small allen wrench into the holes on the thumb screw if I need to torque it down a little bit.

Great side handle for SmallRig cages

This handle can be mounted on either side of a small rig cage and comes in three versions: ARRI Mount, NATO Mount, and a two thumb screw mount. While there are reports that the two thumb screw mount does not work with the current M50/M5 Cage, both the ARRI Mount version and NATO Mount version are supposed to work with the 2168B cage. I prefer the ARRI Mount as I trust a lateral thumb screw more than I trust friction to secure equipment to the cage. The alignment pins of the ARRI mount keep the handle from rotating. I also prefer this handle to the budget handle which Small Rig is promoting for the 2168B cage due to the screw mounts on the top in addition to the cold shoe.

Easy Carry of my BM6K!!!

BM6K may be a great Cinema Camera. But it is bulky to hold. With this handle on both sides. The 6K becomes - easy on / easy off.

SmallRig Mini Side Handle

By A Q.

Works great, small and light weight.

Make your videography experience more comfortable and efficient with the SmallRig Mini NATO Side Handle 3813. This meticulously designed accessory is crafted to alleviate arm strain, enhance camera maneuverability, and offer additional mounting points for your equipment.

Constructed from durable aluminum alloy, this handle is enveloped in anti-slip and anti-freeze silicone coverings, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip even in challenging weather conditions. The handle is equipped with a NATO clamp for swift attachment to cages with a built-in NATO rail, making it a versatile addition to your camera setup.

For cages without a built-in NATO rail, the use of NATO Rail 1409 and 2172 is suggested. The handle's adaptable design allows it to be affixed to either side of a cage and adjusted vertically for optimal positioning.

The SmallRig Mini NATO Side Handle 3813 is not just a handle, but a multi-functional tool. It features three 1/4"-20 threaded holes on top, compatible with Magic Arm 2070 for monitor support, and Cold Shoe 2260 for microphone, LED light, and other accessories. Strap holes on both sides provide the option to attach a wrist strap, enhancing stability during shoots.

Adding to its convenience, the handle incorporates a built-in magnetic spanner at the bottom for effortless assembly and disassembly. This product is a testament to the innovative design approach of its designer, Peiwen He.

Please note that the maximum load capacity of the SmallRig Mini NATO Side Handle 3813 is 6kg. This makes it a robust and reliable choice for professional videographers and photographers alike. With this handle, you can focus on capturing the perfect shot while it takes care of the rest.
