SIRUI SC-SH Side Handle for ARRI/NATO, Aluminium 🎥
Product description
This ergonomic side handle offers a comfortable, stable grip for handheld camera rigs and is designed to work as a side handle for camera cage setups, helping to reduce fatigue during long shoots. It combines a compact aluminium body with a silicone non-slip surface to improve handling when moving between handheld and shoulder-mounted work.
Key Points
The handle accepts two mounting styles, giving flexibility on different cages and rigs. It includes a NATO rail for quick attachment and a locking screw option for more traditional 1/4" threaded mounting, which makes switching between setups straightforward 🎥.
The grip is ambidextrous by design and can be used on either the left or right side without removing the handle connector. It also offers multiple accessory attachment points, including a cold shoe and threaded holes, so small accessories can be added close to the hand for convenience 🔧.
Consider that installation requires two 1/4"-20 threaded holes with an 18 mm spacing according to the manufacturer, so check your cage’s mounting pattern before fitting. The handle’s silicone surface improves hold in damp conditions, but the main body is aluminium to keep weight low and strength high.

Usage Recommendations
Attach the handle using the two specified 1/4"-20 threaded holes with 18 mm spacing for a secure fit. For faster on-and-off attachment during run-and-gun shooting, use the NATO rail accessory. When planning left- or right-handed shooting, rotate the grip to the preferred side rather than removing the connector, which saves time on set.
Position accessories such as a small monitor or wireless receiver using the cold shoe or threaded points to keep cables tidy and maintain a balanced centre of gravity. For heavier accessories, prefer mounting closer to the cage body to reduce leverage on the handle and minimise strain on the mount.
