SmallRig 5977 Top Handle w/ Nato Clamp
SmallRig 5977 Top Handle w/ NATO Clamp: Support handheld video work
More controlled handheld footage starts with a steady grip above the camera, rather than holding the rig only from the side. The SmallRig 5977 Top Handle w/ NATO Clamp weighs 119 g and attaches to a camera cage’s NATO rail with its integrated clamp. It’s a shoulder-rig accessory for video operators who need extra support during handheld work. The hand-tightened locking knob secures the handle without a separate tool, so it’s quick to fit or remove between setups. Two cold shoe mounts and an ARRI 3/8"-16 threaded hole provide attachment points for accessories such as a video light or monitor bracket. Use it to guide a cage-mounted camera through a moving shot, keep a handhold available during handheld interviews, or add accessories while filming on location. Its streamlined shape and PC+ABS construction keep the grip comfortable to hold, including in colder conditions.
On-rig handling
- NATO clamp: The integrated clamp attaches to a NATO rail on a camera cage. Turn the locking knob by hand to secure it without reaching for a tool.
- Two cold shoe mounts: These provide quick attachment points for accessories such as a monitor bracket or video light, keeping them close to the camera rig.
- ARRI 3/8"-16 threaded hole: Use this additional mounting point when your setup needs an accessory attached via that thread.
- 10 kg load capacity: The stated capacity gives the handle a clear maximum load for a supported rig setup. Keep the full rig’s load within that limit.
- Compact dimensions: At 128.8 x 81.6 x 25 mm, the handle adds a defined grip above the cage without a long extension.
Specialist Note
The SmallRig 5977 Top Handle w/ NATO Clamp is a good way to support a camera cage during handheld video work. I’d point it out to anyone moving between takes with a rig that needs a secure top grip. Its PC+ABS construction is described as warm to hold in cold conditions, which matters when you’re filming outdoors in winter. The two cold shoes are useful for placing a monitor bracket and a video light on the rig, while the 10 kg load rating sets a clear limit for the assembled setup. One thing to keep in mind: the clamp needs a cage with a NATO rail.
