The top handle and top plate are designed to give you a solid and comfortable grip for the manipulation of your RED camera. The Push Button Arm with view finder bracket can easily be attached to the EVF mount of the top handle for an optimal setup of your RED camera rig.
The handle grip frame is made from robust CNC machined aluminum and the finger grip is made from genuine Canadian maple wood for maximum comfort. You can quickly adjust and lock the handle length for an extension of approximately 3 inches from its original position in order to optimize the balance of your camera to your lens type.

SHAPE Top Handle Kit Reviews
Awesome Handle
This handle feels great in the hand with the wood insert and looks slick. I shoot a lot of ski footage and the wood grip is awesome - even with gloves, holding onto an aluminum rail all day gets really cold. The double push button on the EVF mount is also critical. Quick to shift position and holds well enough to support the weight of the rig. After reading some of the comments, I decided to go with the Shape batteries - the top plate doesn’t get in the way as it does with bigger batteries
Great quality BUT-
It is solidly built and very high quality, but if you're using a typical V-mount battery (like Sony, IDX, Swit, Blue Shape, Lanparte), the rear portion of the handle prevents you from putting a battery on the camera. Some low-profile batteries (Anton Bauer Cine batteries, Dracast, etc) clear it, but mine did not, so this is unfortunately not usable.
