The Movcam Twist Handle is a quick-release top handle designed for use with Movcam's GH5 and a7 II-series camera cages, attaching to the cage via an included short NATO rail. Once attached, the handle can be rotated by loosening a top thumbscrew, letting you set the desired grip angle/position. Tightening the screw locks the handle in place. For accessory mounting, the handle features 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes, a single 15mm rod port, and two shoe mounts (one in front and one in back of handle).

Movcam Top Handle Reviews

question
Is this Top Handle compatible with NATO standard rails?
While the clamp is NATO shaped, it appears too wide. I would have to go with what Movcam says and that is this requires the Top Plate (sold separately) for mounting.

question
how to mount cold shoe at front end? it is not flat
Here is a link to a low profile 1/4 -20 to Shoe Mount adapter for DM-Accessories, B&H # DMBOTFLAT. You may just need to put this on the 2nd to last thread from the front instead of the first thread.https://bhpho.to/2we8Hvl

question
I'd like to use this with a Viewfactor BMPCC cage. But sometimes the mounting holes are different spacing (proprietary). I found this out with the Wood Camera handle, although they do supply an additional adapter to allow various widths. Will this handle work with othe cages or is it just for the Movcam cage?
I would say that it is more than likely the Movcam Top Handle will fit the Viewfactor as well as others.

question
Will this fit on top of the scarlet-w without a cheese plate?
Yes, not a problem. The camera has several screw hole mounting points on top just for this purpose.

Is the rail on the bottom of this handle Nato Compatible?
Not that we are aware of. This handle is specifically for the Movcam Top Plate for Sony VENICE B&H # MOV3033602. It has the proper connection to connect to that product. So that we may best assist you finding the proper product for your needs feel free to email us directly at [email protected].

question
Hmm. The answers make me confused, cause I have the NATO rail like on this photo. Someone of you don't have NATO rail like on this photo?
This Movcam top handle does not come with a small NATO rail. This is made to attach to rigs that already have an existing NATO rail.

question
Maybe a silly question, but how do you 'twist' the handle? I've tried removing the big screw in the middle, but that doesn't work.
The handle doesn't exactly twist. It's fixed. You just grab it and hold the camera with it.
