ll this handle works with a Nikon Z9 or maybe too heavy camera for installing this type of handle?
The SmallRig Top Handle with Shoe Mount (Lite) could damage the hotshoe of the Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Camera because of the weight of the camera. It is best practice to mount this to a cage and not directly onto the hotshoe of the camera to prevent damage.
