SmallRig Side Handle (for Gimbals)
Operating Instruction
Product Overview
The SmallRig Side Handle for Gimbals 2786C is engineered to alleviate arm fatigue and offer accessory mounting points when operating gimbals. Its ergonomic design allows for a two-handed grip, distributing the weight stress more evenly. The foldable design facilitates easy storage and portability. It features an anti-twist plate on the side for secure attachment of stabilizers and cameras in various positions (front, rear, left). The handle connects to the gimbal's base using 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 screws and can be mounted on either the left or right side of the stabilizer. The cross arm includes multiple 1/4"-20 threaded holes, ARRI 3/8"-16 threaded holes, and cold shoe mounts for accessories like monitor mounts, magic arms, microphones, and wireless transmitters. A flat-head screwdriver is integrated at the bottom for securing mounting screws.
