fits the hand well and is comfortable to hold for long periods. things mount well into the cold shoe mounts and being able to turn the handle is a nice feature as well

Excellent - essential for the Movcam cage

** I am using this product on the Movcam cage for the first A7s. I love my Movcam cage, the only gripe I had with it was the top handle having to be screwed in, making it a very awkward fit in a camera bag so it would always have to be removed. There are also times when I'm shooting stills and don't want the top handle, but keep about 1/2 the cage on at all times (remove the right half with the shutter release, etc.). The new top handle feels very sturdy and significantly more comfortable with the wood finish (although I do wish it were black ;) ). I love that there's still mounting points. To get it on and off is extremely simple and fast. The 15mm hole I feel is easier to put rods through.

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.
Asked by: Vikram S.
The handle doesn't exactly twist. It's fixed. You just grab it and hold the camera with it.

question

Does this handle fit the cage for the Sony A7S and enable you to move it out the way so that the xlr unit can be mounted also. Unlike the old movcam cage handle.
Asked by: tas u.
The twist handle is adjustable both by sliding the handle on the rail included or can be rotated which should allow room for accessories.

question

Is this handle available in the metal finish to match the a7s cage or is it only available in the black colour pictured ?

The handle is available only in black at this time.

question

What's the length of the nato rail?
Asked by: Daniel T.
The NATO rail is 2 5/8 long with the mounting slot/hole at 1 5/8 in length. The screws are 1/4 20 - which when, not being used, live (and can be seen) in the handle. It's a quality piece of kit.
