Description:
This compact side grip brings steadier handheld shooting for mirrorless and DSLR setups, making run-and-gun recording and gimbal-free movement more manageable. It works as a lightweight side handle for camera cages and improves grip comfort with a silicone profiled surface, useful for outdoor shoots and long takes 🎥.
Key Points
The handle attaches to a camera cage or video rig using two 1/4" knurled screws with an adjustable spacing of 18–20 mm, so it fits many common cage designs. It slides vertically to find the most comfortable hand position and includes an L-shaped hex key stored inside the grip for quick adjustments on set. The connector can be moved to either side of the cage, allowing left or right hand operation, and there is a lanyard slot for added security if you use a strap.
Ergonomics were considered in the design. The body combines ABS, PC and aluminium alloy to keep the unit both durable and light. The silicone profiled handle offers a non-slip surface that helps maintain a firm hold during extended recording sessions 👍.

Usage Recommendations
For stability when shooting handheld, mount the grip on the side of the cage and slide it vertically until the wrist and forearm align comfortably with the camera centre of mass. Use the top and bottom 1/4" threads to add a small articulating arm or microphone, which keeps accessories compact and balanced. The included cold shoe lets you attach a small LED or on-camera mic without extra clamps.
Consider that the handle is not compatible with Tilta cages. Also note that the stated load capacity is provided by the manufacturer, so double check accessory weight when planning heavier rigs.
Advantages
This grip adds a tactile, secure point to your rig which reduces hand fatigue during longer takes. It is quick to relocate between sides, which helps when switching shooting hands or changing camera orientation. The internal hex key is a small convenience that speeds up on-the-fly adjustments, and the additional 1/4" mounting options increase the unit's versatility for compact setups.
