Top Handle for ARRI

Good item. Works well. Permits better balance and support as camera weight sits (ideally) below a single top handle. The Arri screw quickly attaches into the top centre Arri hole on most SmallRig camera cages - makes adding removing relatively fast and precise (ie no risk of slop/twist due to Arri pins). I used to use a similar SR top-handle that connected onto a small Nato rail. That's maybe a second or two faster to fit and remove, but any difference is barely noticeable. It required a separate Nato rail to be fitted on top of cam cage and meant the handle wasn't always 100% exactly positioned (adjustment maybe +/- 3mm laterally). So I prefer this simpler, lighter solution. The handle is compact, relatively light at 123g and has multiple points for potentially mounting additional kit - like a small monitor, mike or light etc (best never to use a light mounted there - as that typically looks horrible). The top handle can easily be reversed too (ie handle points forward) to better balance a minimal size rig. If using 15mm rails, V-mount and other heavier kit, located further rearwards, then a rear facing position (as typically shown) would be better for most users. Only issue for me is the handle mounted top centre (ideal position) then conflicts with the Sony hot-shoe (multi-interface shoe), so any mike or receiver (typically Sony OEM sound kit) can't be used with this screwed top centre into a standard SmallRig camera cage (ie as found on most Sony alpha cams). That's inconvenient and I wish that SR would design a work around handle. But it's not a problem as I can wire non Sony mikes (or receivers) into the 3.5mm mike jack and locate a mike either above the handle or off to one side for scratch sound. If I'm using on a tripod then I can just use a digital mike and dispense with a top handle. Generally it's better (ie quality) to record sound separately, rather than direct into camera, but that requires a heap more kit (possibly a separate field recorder and/or time-code set-up) to do it well. As such that's starting to get beyond the scope of what this is - ie a light, quick top handle, for better rig balance and smoother movement, in a minimal rig hybrid type shoot scenario.

Fits the Canon R50V cage perfectly. Rubberised underneath so it won't slip out of your hand. Smallrig always deliver. No fuss, no bother, just out of the packet and it works. What more do you want? You can just make it out under there. Ha.

The usual small rig quality that I expect. Buy with confidence

Got this, along with Smallrig cage on all my cameras. Superb for low shots, stabilising the footage or just walking around with your rig. Super sturdy so it won't fall off and comfy to use. It also has a mic mount on the top so if you've got a bit of noise coming from the lens when autofocusing being picked up by your mic this solves it in 90%, you can handle the 10% in post but it's WAY less noticeable. Just added bonus.

Brilliantly made & well balanced

Just as expected. Easy to attach, good grip.

light with comfy non slip rubber type grip a bit tricky to tighten down if you have no tools to slot in the holw with you

Excelente material, es imprescindible si haces video, en las mirrorles es incómodo poner un monitor en la zapata de la cámara. Si ya tienes una jaula esto te ayudará a colocar el monitor de forma más cómoda, además de que mejora el agarre de la cámara .

Ligero, de buena calidad, no se mueve, es fácil de poner y quitar, y tiene muchos puntos para añadir accesorios.

Der Griff liegt angenehm in der Hand und verbessert die Kameraführung deutlich, vor allem bei längeren Aufnahmen oder wenn die Kamera häufiger bewegt wird. Trotz der stabilen Bauweise bleibt das Gewicht angenehm und das Rig gut ausbalanciert. Ein sehr gut verarbeitetes Zubehörteil für professionelle Kamera-Setups.
