## Description

desertcart.com : Nitze Quick Release NATO Handle with NATO Rail and Cold Shoe Adapter, Ergonomic Camera Top Handle for Camera Rigs (Stinger Series) - PA28-A : Electronics

Review: The perfect top handle for Z Cam E2 Flagship cameras - I absolutely love this top handle. It's a huge upgrade from the cheapo version I was using before! This one from Nitze is beautifully designed and ergonomic so it fits the human form perfectly. It feels absolutely great in the hand and I imagaine it's going to really help me out on long day shoots wherein my hand used to cramp up after long handheld takes etc. The balance point is nicely forward which really helps to balance rigs with heavy lenses upfront... but amazingly so many other manufacturers even get this simple part wrong. With this handle my rig balances nice in my hand even with or without extra battery power at the back (V Mount). The Nato clamp is really solid and locks down with no movement at all. I was surprised to see that the SmallRig NATO rail I had previsouly installed on my Nitze cage didn't seem to fit with this clamp... but I really like the low-profile NATO rail that came included with the handle, and I prefer the low profile of the included rail anyway so all good. I really like the range of professional attachment options... I've got my monitor attached with a Nitze monitor mount on the 3x 1/4 20s on top of the handle, but I might try moving this forward/down or even try a low profile monitor mount from Nitze just to tweak it to perfection. This is the best top handle for the Z Cam E2 and any other rig that you choose to attach to. Nitze is not messing around with this really comfortable design. It already has a cult following online and I'm truly surprised I'm the first person leaving a rewview here! Trust me you will not be disappointed!
Review: Great ergonomics and a very solid handle. The best I have used. - I have purchased 3 of these handles for my camera rigs. They are the most sturdy, easy to remove, and ergonomic handles on the market. High quality and great value. They are very secure once locked in place, and for my needs, it is so easy to use when pulling my rig off the tripod. Form meets function.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this attach directly to camera hot shoe?**
A: No. It can not mount directly to the camera hot shoe mount. It will require Arri locking mount or the other version with nato lock. Handle is amazing . Jut make sure you can mount it to your camera cage via one of the methods. I choose the Arri locking method to go along with my smallrig cage for the z cam e2 m4.

**Q: will it work with the Smallrig cage 2003b? what do I need to add a monitor to it?**
A: I don’t see that cage listed on smallrig site. 
But depending which it the nitze handles you decide to get . Either Arri locking with 3/8 threads which is what I have . Or the quick release nato rail style with lock. 
Both are great designs. I just sent with Arri locking 3/8. 

So just look at the bottom of the handle where it mounts and see which method will work best for you. And if your cage has that Arri locking threads already then you don’t need anything else . If you buy the nitze quick release handle model then you will need to get the nitze nato rail so you can screw that to the cage and then lock the handle to the nato rail. 
I have videos on YouTube showing this handle on my rig with monitor and other gear - Leopazzo Productions nitze stinger top handle - search

**Q: Will the smallrig quick release safety rail 4cm work?**
A: I don’t own the nato rail quick release version but from my understanding the smallrig nato rail does not fit the bottom of the nitze handle

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Top Handle I’ve Ever Touched
*by J***R on January 28, 2023*

This is hands-down, THE best top handle that I have ever touched. It is sturdy but somehow lightweight. It has a very thoughtful design with mounting points exactly where you’d need and expect them. The sculpted design fits a hand amazingly well and naturally. It makes for a secure and reliable grip. The build quality and finish are very professional and feel like OEM from RED when mounted on my Komodo. I highly recommend!
