The Tactical Handle mounts onto any Z-Rail/NATO rail, and the Z-Rail jaw clamp can be twisted and oriented in multiple ways to work on horizontal or vertical Z-Rails.

The handle is suitable for use with small cameras such as the Panasonic GH5 Mark II.

Zacuto Top Handle Reviews

Multi-faceted Handling

For an S1h rigged with a Zacuto cage (to support an Atomos Ninja V as well as Rode mic and a lav receiver) this thing is magical. I use it on top, but I love the feature that allows me to use it as a side handle with the Z-rail on side of the cage for steadier hand-held work. It's a beaut, gives me a secure grab (it's full size, unlike some handles), and the flexibility is the icing on the cake.

Better than expected.

Great addition to the Zacuto cage. Added my own 14mm short rod to support Atomos Ninja V when needed and also supports the arm of my Port Keys eye piece.

I have a GH7, the Zacuto GH6&7 cage and the LUMIX ...

I have a GH7, the Zacuto GH6&7 cage and the LUMIX XLR Microphone Adaptor DMW-XLR2. Which handle can I buy?
Asked by: Daniel
The Zacuto Tactical Handle mounted on the NATO overhang rail with the grip forward on the Zacuto Camera Cage for Panasonic GH6 Camera would be compatible while using the Panasonic DMW-XLR2 XLR Microphone Adapter.
