Weird Design

Purchased the T-Handle for my RED DSMC2 with RED tactical top plate and for some reason, the plate that comes with the handle doesn't fit ANY multitude of threads. I now have to custom make a cheese plate to be able to adapt this hand for my camera. Save the hassle and buy something else.

DO NOT BUY! SLIPPED OFF AND DROPPED $6000 S1H RIG

Should've listened to my instincts months ago when this handle started to wiggle without any heavy use. My nightmares were finally realized when this slipped off the hot shoe of the Lumix s1H with a Sigma MC-21 and Canon 24-70mm f2.8 combo and sent it crashing to the ground. Thankfully it happened inside but i am appalled that a product of this price and company would fail so miserably

That mounting point does not exist on ARRI PCA Mechanical Accessories. However, you can use the SHAPE Controller Top Handle with Universal Attachment System. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1554263-REG/shape_ctrl_controller_for_top_handle.html

Does this top handle have a hot shoe connector at it's base? If so, how does it work if the XLR1 adapter is connected to the camera's hot shoe?

Asked by: Jonathan

Hello Jon, Thank you for your question! This top handle was designed so it can be attached at the top front of cages when audio units are also used. It leaves enough space to attach an audio unit on top of cages. This handle does not have a hotshoe connector. You can see an example of how it's used here: https://www.shapewlb.com/sony-a7s-ii-a7r-ii-a7-ii-top-handle. We hope this helps and we thank you for your interest in our products. The SHAPE team
