I got this to pair with my smallrig camera cage. I will say it's really well built, and has an included allen wrench that you can attach magnetically to the handle. After first use, the top handle helps me stabilize my footage in a more natural way. I love it!

Handle can attach to three different parts of Small Rig frame (top dead center, vertically on right and left side of frame. Handle can be positioned facing towards the front or back of the camera. Included Allen wrench is magnetically held is handy for tightening up screw connection to Small Rig frame.

I ended up grinding about 0.8mm of the locator pins to make it fit. Rigging the Pyxis with a PL lens puts way to much strain on the body with the single attach point, so it will work in a pinch.

Could be a little more secure, but I think that’s also part of the problem with the cage as well. Otherwise this gives great options for mounting other things onto your camera

It was between four handles and I preferred this handle. Looks like the Tilta design for the BMPCC 4K/6k but it is not available for the Panasonic GH5. The Tilta handle is adjustable this one is not. We’ll see how the handle does and if my opinion changes. I like the arri style locating pins and using the allen key to tighten the thumb screw was fast and easy on the small rig 2165b. Low profile, not too large or too small, seemed to balance things well from what I could tell; time will tell? Comes off quick and easy and stores in my Think Tank Hubba Hubba Hiney bag conveniently. I did find that installing my Noga arm for the Atomos Shinobi made it more difficult to hand hold the top handle, but might not be an issue on a lockdown shot (tripod). I’m probably not using it as a side handle but you could as well. I liked the option to insert the 15mm rod through the center or add the Shinobi to the top if you weren’t using an inky (small fill light). The rod is 8” long if you want to stick the 5.2” Shinobi and still clear the side handle. I did find the Noga arm strong enough provided that you tighten the 1/4”-20 onto the the cage. I talked with a friend at Samy’s And he mentioned that the Noga arm is the only arm that stays secure and doesn’t wiggle loose. he mentioned that is $140 new and I think I spent way more, when I bought the first production LED light at NAB back in the day. The reason I mention this is that you can use the arm like a side handle with infinite positions for viewing the shinobi field monitor. It does feel somewhat top heavy and wide, from my first impression, haven’t shot with the rig yet.Update: my Panasonic GH5 has turned into a 10lb mini rig. I recycled a chroziel tripod plate onto the Panasonic, upgraded to a the atomos Ninja 5 with a Tilta plate for Anton Bauer gold mount batteries. So now that the rig is back heavy (no matte box yet) I find this small rig handle not ideal. The handle section is a bit far forward and short do it’s hard to properly balance the camera rig hand held with the 98amp Core SWX batteries. Plus the shape, size of the handle and balance point makes the rig unbalanced to the point where it could slip out. So unfortunately I’m parting ways. The Arri pins only allow me to secure the handle to the foremost position and not further to the rear, where it could balance out the weight of the battery (2lbs) hanging off the rear of the 15mm rods.

Small Rig Is fantastic, quality, versatility, applicability, flexibility. Well, thought out products.It might be a little extra cost by the time I'm finished designing MY Rig with the components I want,But this stuff is bomb-proof and well worth the money. Build as you go. Modify when I need to.I highly endorse Small Rig. The quality is superb. It's a fantastic find.But take your time determining YOUR application to optimize your need.Great job SMALL RIG! See Photo: This is my Small Rig set up for my NIKON D-780, for Video.It's not done yet. I still have to add Monitor and Mic assembly and a base.

Handle is quite sturdy with a wide variety of threaded connection points. lightweight. I have a Small Rig Monitor mount attached to very front on top with a Atomos Ninja V mounted to that. This allows low level shooting while holding the camera, looking downward to see screen and works beautifully.
