The SmallRig Top Handle with Cold Shoe is made from an aluminum alloy, striking a positive balance between strength and weight. Providing a strong handgrip for carrying your camera in its cage, the top handle's mounting foot features slotted holes that enable mounting onto a variety of cages with 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes. An integrated cold shoe at the top is useful for attaching accessories. Three 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes run up the front of the handle's riser, and the handle itself features a mix of 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes.
