SmallRig 5949 Mini Side And Top Handle Kit

SmallRig 5949 Mini Side And Top Handle Kit | More control for handheld video

A low-angle handheld shot calls for a steady grip, and the SmallRig 5949 Mini Side And Top Handle Kit is a 261 g shoulder-rig kit for supporting that kind of video work. It combines a side handle with a top handle, giving you two ways to hold a caged camera during handheld movement. The handles are rated for loads up to 10 kg, so they suit setups carrying video accessories as well as the camera. Use the side grip to steady a low-angle move, or take hold of the top handle when the shot calls for a higher, more direct grip. The handles also have mounting points for add-ons such as a monitor, microphone or video light, keeping those useful tools close to the rig. This is a compact option for video makers who want extra support and accessory mounting in one kit, rather than relying on the camera body alone.

Stability and setup

• Two handle mounting styles: The side handle attaches with the included NATO rail and clamp connector; the top handle uses an ARRI locating attachment. That gives the kit two distinct ways to position your grip on a cage.
• Side handle changes sides: Move the aluminium connector to the opposite side of the handle to switch its mounting direction. That’s useful when the camera layout or your preferred grip calls for the handle on the other side.
• 30 mm of vertical adjustment: Side screws allow the side handle to move up or down. Use that adjustment to bring the grip into a better position for your camera’s balance.
• 1/4"-20 threaded holes: These provide attachment points for optional accessories, including a remote control or a magic arm. A magic arm can position an accessory where it’s useful on the rig.
• Cold shoe mounts: Attach compatible accessories such as a microphone, monitor mount or video light. This keeps common video tools on the handle rather than requiring another part of the rig for each one.
• Compact load-bearing handles: The kit’s handles support loads up to 10 kg. That rating is useful to know when planning a rig with the camera and mounted accessories.
