SMALLRIG NATO Top Handle with Record Start/Stop Remote Trigger

Elevate your filmmaking and gain seamless control over your camera rig with the SMALLRIG NATO Top Handle with Record Start/Stop Remote Trigger. Expertly engineered for professional videographers and content creators, this ergonomic handle is more than just a carrying solution; it´s a central command unit for your setup. It provides exceptional stability for low-angle shots and dynamic camera movements while placing crucial camera functions directly at your fingertips, streamlining your workflow and ensuring you never miss a critical moment.

Designed for comfort during long shooting days, the handle features a smooth, anti-slip silicone grip that provides a secure and comfortable hold on your camera rig. Its primary function, the integrated record start/stop button, is positioned perfectly for thumb access. This remote trigger functionality allows you to initiate and end recording without touching the camera body, eliminating micro-jitters and the need to reposition your hands. This is essential for maintaining shot stability, especially when using gimbals, sliders, or shoulder rigs.

The handle´s versatility is rooted in its quick-release NATO clamp, which allows for swift and secure attachment to any standard NATO rail on your camera cage. This design also enables you to slide the handle forward and backward to find the perfect balance point for your specific rig configuration, whether it´s front-heavy with a large lens or back-heavy with a battery pack.
