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.
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.
excellent
Basically a NATO handle is a NATO handle but this clamp rotates 180 degrees allowing the clamp to be inline or 90 degrees with handle. It's well made with lots of 1/4X20 attachment holes plus 2 cold shoes, rail, and 15mm rod clamp. Works great on my Smallrig cage for my GH5. It is also 30.00 cheaper than the Smallrig handle that has a rotating clamp and a built-in rod clamp.
This handle does the job. strong grip professional construction and excellent locking mechanism. I also add other accessories to it when need to with out worries.
Have not had a chance to use it much. This thing is very solid and easy to mount. Lots of room to hang stuff both sides. Nice piece of work.
Maybe it's my fault, but when I tightened the wheel too tight, the screw stripped and I could no longer align the handle to the camera perpendicularly.
I wanted a larger, more comfortable handle for my RED weapon for handheld as well as easy rig work. I also wanted it to be universal as I still rent and rig a variety of cameras, so this option felt perfect. The nato rail is a nice add because I often have to balance left to right with handle placement. This option of quick-shifting is helping me have more balanced rigs and shots in a fraction of the time. As well the handle not only being softer and more comfortable it's also longer, so again I'm finding the center of gravity for better placement far quicker. This handle is quite the time saver and it has additional cold shoe and mounting points. I'm a big fan for the incredibly affordable price point.
