SMALLRIGPush-Button Rotating NATO Handle, Quick Release Handgrip for DLSR Camera Cage Kit, w/Built-in NATO Rail, Left Side - 3260

Awesome handle.

Slides right into my black mamba cage from Smallrig,Supper easy setup with great quality!Handle rotates to meat your most comfortable position. I love mine!

I have thoroughly enjoyed using this handle. The ability to rotate it quickly makes it such a convenient accessory to have on your rig. I have enjoyed the crossover from my Sony FS5 & FX6 side handle & bringing the rotation functionality to my mirrorless rigs. Now if I could just get an aftermarket handle that rotates & has the buttons the FX6 handle has onto my FX30 I would be so happy.

I ordered 3 different handles from multiple companies including the wooden handle. This is the one to get for shooting weddings and music videos where the angle is changing on the fly. I wish they made it for the right side too.I'd say get it over any other handle. The build is really good and it's super easy to adjust so you can focus on filming. It also fits my bigger than normal hands.

For reference I also own the Smallrig Wooden 2093 and also the HSS2425. The ability to get a comfortable and less restricted grip, especially when recording low or high is what really sells this. With the other non-rotating grips you are forced to keep that neutral grip and angle of your wrist. So this one makes it much easier. The movement once the button is depressed is very fluid. Not jerky at all.Now the cons, while the movement is fluid, its the actual action of pressing the button that requires more effort than I would like. It is not hard but I really do not like the location (right where your thumb is.) Not only would a pointer or middle finger release be better, but also you have to make sure that you do not have any tension, or movement in a front or back motion, when trying to release it. This will cause jerking and tension when trying to release and rotate the grip.I think muscle memory will make this grip easier to use over time. I need to know how much pressure I have to put to completely unlock it without any jerkyness. Overall it is very good. I still would like a different button placement to rotate the grip and also less jerky would be nice. Overall, when compared to the other grips this one is better. If you are looking to save a few bucks the other grips are still very solid and I think the wooden one has the best ergonomics. I have not been disappointed with any Smallrig grips so whichever style you think you'll enjoy the most have at it. A grip makes a difference so I do recommend at grip for anyone. While they are used more for videography than photography, I have also noticed the benefit of using it while making pictures.

Son Loves it

I should have bought this handle a long time ago. Paired with a Smallrig Cage on my FX30, the NATO rail is built into the cage and the handle slides right on without any hassle. My only quibble is the foldout screen on the FX30 runs right into my hand when open.

It’s Good Quality, looks good, and it’s solid. I love it!
