Not for me

Does not grip well onto my small rig bracket. Does not come with screws to attach it.

Functionally driven!

I was use a somewhat heavy rig when recording videos. This top handle makes holding the rig easier on the forearm and also adds stability when filming. It is of good construction and the mounting rails makes adding attachments a breeze.

Holds Well and Hides Well

Disliked my SSD on top of my SmallRig cage, this handle holds it and hides it well. The SSD is secure and the handle does not get in the way of my cables attached to my BMPCC4k. The handle is a bit on the heavy side but it only means it is durable. It helped me hold my camera on a super hot day and never once did it slip my grip.

Good value, but not incredible

Works great! Lots of adjustability and I really wanted a Nato-compatible handle. My only qualm is that it's not the most comfortable grip--I have larger hands and it feels a bit small/slipper since it's all metal.

You need this!

A must have for your smallrig cage and especially helpful for use with an external monitor.

Solid

Well made. There’s an Allen key built into the handle to loosen the two bolts that let the handle be moved front to rear so as to balance the camera. The key is solidly held in place by a notch and magnets.

About SmallRig NATO Top Handle 1649 - SKU#1930452

This cheese handle integrated maximum possible attachment points with its size and weight. Almost every part of the handle can be utilized while kept spacing in between, so when more accessories are attached to it, they won't interfere with each other.

Place the handle on camera with its NATO rail, find a balanced handheld shooting position, then lock the handle with thumbscrew. You can find one rod hole in left-right direction in the joint, and another in front of the handle. Lock rods in these holes, then you can attach EVFs, microphones on rods.

There are 2 cold shoes in front and back side of handle, in horizontal and vertical directions respectively.

The grip area is patterned with 1/4" and 3/8" threaded holes, and 2 ARRI mounting points.

Imagine what you can do with one single small, light-weighted cheese handle!
