Review: Fine! No complaints, personal preference, lack of mounting options on the gh5 cage for top handle. - 4 5/8” length x 2 5/8” height x 1”x1” handle. I only took it out of the box for a few minutes to get the feel of the handle. So in no way is this a comprehensive opinion or review. It was in a 3 way elimination series. the vertical post thickness that attaches the handle, it seemed a tad thick. However there’s not as much room on the handle to adequately hold it to the rear of the post. I think it’s meant to have your finger(s] splay around the center post. The GH5 cage I got has a fixed position nato rail, so without having a top cheese plate moving the handle forward to give you a grip in front of the post is impractical due to lack of space. So it compact and has nato, but my cage does not have a nato rail and I opted not to screw the baseplate on bun24268b, which would then only give me a fixed balance point at the cage left and right instead of front to rear? More of the fault of the default GH5 mounting cage without the addition of mounting (cheese) plates on top of the cage. For reference XL the grease monkey gloves and large size in Home Depot orange gloves.
Review: The best cage handle for all filming situations. - The one thing I look for in a cage handle, is the ability to quickly breakdown and build my rig depending on what I am shooting next. This cage handle has a Nato rail mount that gives me that versatility that I need. To be able to quickly remove the handle, and place the camera on a gimbal is a huge time saver. And as everyone knows, time is money. Being able to quickly prepare from shot to shot, situation to situation is extremely important when shooting a film. I have three cameras now. I just recently got the third camera, which was when I ordered another one of these cage handles. So, if you want to be able to shoot quickly, this cage handle is a must have.

## Features

- [BALANCE ADJUSTMENT] Unique design top handle 1955 can provide a balanced gripping point for your camera or camcorder. The handle features both forward-to-back and side-to-side adjustment to help balance your camera rig.
- [QUICK RELEASE] The DSLR NATO Handle can quickly mounts to a standard NATO rail without any tools. It has been upgraded to resolve an issue where the NATO clamp was not compatible with some NATO rails. It can work with SmallRig NATO rail 1409 (Not included) and quick attaching and detaching via the thumbscrew.
- [MULTIPLE MOUNTING POINTS] The camera handle features two cold shoe mounts, multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, and two locating holes for ARRI-style.
- [EXCELLENT DESIGN] The handle comes with an allen wrench on the side, which attaches via magnet inside the handle. And you can loosen the screws on the side to change front to back orientation of grip according to your need.
- [NOTE] The grip part is only 118mm long, so it may be a bit short for someone who has a big palm.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable and versatile
*by J***R on April 9, 2019*

Great handle design! Easily adjustable, and it’s really nice that it includes a built-in spot to store the included hex wrench. Comfortable design that is just the right length for handling, but short enough not to get in the way. Useful mounting points all over, including the extra cold shoe on top.
