SmallRig 5633 HawkLock H21 Quick Release Side Handle

SmallRig 5633 HawkLock H21 Quick Release Side Handle – Patented HawkLock NATO Rail for Rapid Self-Locking Mounting

Designed to improve dual handheld shooting stability during dynamic filming, this side handle also provides essential expansion interfaces for accessories. The ergonomic shape accommodates both left- and right-handed users, ensuring a comfortable and controlled shooting experience.

Patented HawkLock quick release for fast mounting

The handle features a patented quick release NATO rail mechanism. It self-locks with a single press, so you can mount and dismount the handle rapidly and securely when moving between setups.

Because it uses SmallRig’s H21 "HawkLock" system, it pairs with cages or mounting plates that offer the required mounting points. Please check compatibility before use to ensure a correct fit.

Balance, access and monitoring

The handle offsets some lens weight to optimize weight distribution, which helps produce steadier handheld shots. In addition, the design does not interfere with LCD flip-out operation, allowing effortless monitoring while you shoot.

For fine tuning, the handle provides a vertical adjustment range so you can position it for the best balance and control.

Durable construction and secure grip

SmallRig builds the handle from sturdy aluminum alloy for durability. Furthermore, it features a non-slip silicone coating that remains cold-resistant, giving you a secure grip in a variety of weather conditions.

Multiple mounting options for accessories

The handle includes several built-in mounting points to attach common accessories on set. These mounting options increase flexibility and let you configure the handle to your workflow.

• 1/4"-20 threaded holes
• Locating holes
• Wrist strap hole
• H18 quick release cold shoe mount

Use these mounts for monitor mounts, ball-head magic arms, LED lights, wrist straps, microphones and other accessories you need during shooting.

On-set convenience
