SmallRig 5948 Mini Side Handle Kit – Comfortable handheld shooting with NATO and 1/4"-20 mounting

The SmallRig 5948 Mini Side Handle Kit provides a compact, lightweight solution for more comfortable handheld shooting. It attaches securely to camera cages or mounting plates using either the included NATO clamp or the 1/4"-20 locating screw connector, making integration quick and straightforward.

Key features and expansion options

The handle offers versatile expansion options through multiple interfaces. It includes 1/4"-20 locating holes for accessories such as remote controllers or magic arms, and it also provides cold shoe mounts for monitor mounts, microphones, or video lights. These interfaces let you customize your setup to match specific shooting needs.

In addition, the handle can be mounted on either side of the cage. To change sides, detach and reconfigure the aluminum connector to the opposite side of the handle. This design gives you flexibility when balancing and positioning your camera rig.

Adjustment and balance

The kit allows for precise tuning of your rig’s balance. Specifically, the handle offers 30mm of vertical adjustment via side screws. This vertical adjustment helps you fine-tune the center of gravity for improved balance and control during handheld operation.

Load capacity and built-in tool

Despite its compact and lightweight design, the handle supports loads up to 10kg. Also, a built-in magnetic Allen wrench is included in the handle to facilitate easy assembly and adjustments on set, saving time when making quick changes.
