CAMVATE Top Handle Reviews

well built, solid mount

By Gregory

This handle attaches nice and easy to the top NATO rail on my rig. Feels secure and has a plethora of mounting locations in all the right spots. The rail holder is a fantastic addition.

Cold shoe stuck

I used this on a Tilta cage. I tightened the cold shoe too tight so then the cold shoe wouldn't move any more, and then when I tried to unscrew it, the cold shoe would unscrew from the handle. When i tightened the cold shoe screw back on the bolt stripped on the inside and then I couldn't get it off again. This would have been ok, except the cold shoe was locked at an angle. Too many points of failure.

question

Will this work with a Movo Photo SCG-30 Universal Aluminum DSLR Camera Cage with Top Handle, Shoe Mount and 15mm Rods?
Asked by: Jim D.
The product you are asking about is not sold by B&H so we cannot speak to the efficacy of your request. In other words, we cannot know for sure that it will work. However, 15mm/cage systems are made to basic standards so with that and the fact the screws on the CAMVATE cheese handles are in adjustment slots, we feel that this handle will probably work on the cage you are asking about.

question

Asked by: antonio v.
Yes, if you are using the Red Raven in a Camvate cage. This handle is designed to connect to the top of a Camvate Cage. It is actually included with the Camvate Pro Shoulder Rig Full Frame Cage Kit for RED DSMC2 Cameras, B&H # CAC1913. https://bhpho.to/2B86juI
