Love it
Fantastic side handle! It’s solidly built with high-quality aluminum, giving my camera setup a much sturdier and more professional feel. The grip is very comfortable, even during long shoots, and it makes handheld filming so much smoother and more stable.Easy to attach, very secure, and lightweight without sacrificing strength. Another excellent accessory from SmallRig—highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their rig!

Nice left hand grip for Small Rig camera chassis.
Nice hand grip for Small Rig camera chassis. Gives an alternative method to hold camera (Sony a7iv).Use this grip to hold Godox V1S flash off camera. Offers good holding position for camera. Good size and well designed screw heads with ability to insert Allen wrench to tighten into chassis. High quality!Very well designed and made.Highly recommend.

Exactly what you want
If you’re looking for an easy to install/remove side handle for your camera, this is it. So long as you have a NATO rail where you want this to mount. It’s sturdy, has a good grip and has held together very well during heavy use. Plus it holds an extra tool within the handle which is always appreciated.

Great Product!
Love this grip. It’s a breeze to put it on and take it off especially with the built in hex key. I don’t question this handle’s integrity one bit, I have put together an entire rig and held it by this handle with no issues whatsoever. No loosening or movement at all. Also very lightweight, definitely won’t be a big contributor to the overall weight of your rig. I highly recommend you add this to your setup.

Top-Tier Quality – My Go-To for Rigging Sony Cameras
SmallRig is hands down my favorite brand for rigging my Sony FX3, a7RV, and a7SIII. The craftsmanship is top-notch—everything is so precisely machined and solid. You can really feel the quality in every component.What I love most is how modular their system is. No matter the setup, there’s always a reliable solution for attaching exactly what I need. This side handle is no exception—sturdy, well-designed, and a perfect addition to any professional rig. Highly recommend for anyone building out their camera cage. The grip is excellent for those with large or small hands my crew (various sized hands) had no issues keeping our shots stable.

Sturdy and works well
I’m using this with my Panasonic Lumix S5 ii x rig with my SmallRig cage. The rig can get weighty with the V-Mount battery, 400mm lens, and monitor. However, I trust the handle to hold the camera’s weight without issue. The NATO attachment doesn’t get in the way of the I/O parts at all. I like the loops it has for a hand strap, and the wrench that’s included inside the handle. The quickd detach function works great and feels sturdy, though it took me a second to figure out. Only thing is, it’s a little pricey for me…. Kind of annoying that this is $20 more than the ARRI mount version.

Smallrig for the win again

The SmallRig Aluminum Side Handle is an absolute must-have for any videographer or filmmaker using a camera cage. The design is incredibly ergonomic, making it comfortable to hold even during long shoots. The build quality is fantastic – sturdy aluminum construction that feels durable and solid without adding too much weight to my rig.The handle is also very versatile and easily attaches to various cages, which makes it perfect for different setups. It has really improved my shooting stability and control, especially for handheld shots. Plus, it has additional mounting points, which is super convenient for attaching accessories. SmallRig really thought of everything with this one!Overall, I’m extremely impressed. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality side handle that improves the overall handling of your rig, this is the one to get. Highly recommended!

I’ve always read product reviews about new items being delivered used, but I never thought I’d see the day. Well that changed with this handle. The sticker was cut and obvious damage to the metal.This also does not work with the SmallRig half cage when you try to mount it on the left sideEDIT: Small Rig came through and sent me a new handle. The ARRI – 1/4 combo screw is very useful 👍👍

I just love all the SmallRig products, and this side handle is another winner. It’s solid, well designed, and really improves the way my camera rig feels in the hand. The adjustable mounting point is handy, and being able to switch between left and right use makes it versatile. It’s comfortable to hold and makes long shoots much easier to manage. For the price, the quality and functionality are excellent, a great value upgrade to any camera setup.
