HAFOKO Aluminium L-Bracket Handle Grip for gimbals 🎥

This aluminium L-bracket handle offers a compact way to add a top cold shoe and threaded mounting points to a gimbal, making it easier to attach a monitor, microphone or LED light for run-and-gun shooting. It suits handheld operation with DJI RS and Zhiyun Crane series stabilisers, and its lightweight CNC construction helps keep payload weight down while improving handling for low and angled shots.

Key Points

The unit includes a standard cold shoe on the top for accessories and both 1/4" and 3/8" threaded holes for flexible mounting. Manufactured from CNC-machined aluminium alloy, it balances durability and low mass, which is especially helpful when using heavier cameras. Order two to form a mini dual-grip setup for more comfortable two-handed operation and reduced strain on your arms. Note that compatibility lists are according to the manufacturer and cover DJI RS4, RS4 Pro, RS3, RS3 Pro, RS2, RSC 2, RS, RSC, Crane 3, Weebill models and a wide range of Crane and Weebill-series stabilisers.

Usage Recommendations

Attach a small monitor or an on-camera microphone to the cold shoe to keep your rig compact and accessible while filming. For longer handheld sessions consider using two brackets as dual grips to better distribute weight and reduce fatigue, particularly when the setup includes heavier lenses or larger cameras. Keep in mind that the bracket improves handling and provides extra mounting points, but it does not replace a full support system for very heavy cinema setups.

Positive Aspects

The bracket delivers practical expansion options for accessory mounting with minimal added weight, allowing more creative camera angles and easier low-level shooting. Its solid CNC finish offers tactile grip and reliable thread fittings, which helps when swapping accessories in changing shooting conditions. A minor limitation is that extreme payloads may still require a dedicated support rig, so check total camera weight against your gimbal capacity.
