SmallRig HawkLock H21 Quick Release Side Handle with NATO Rail
Ergonomic Quick Release Camera Rig Grip – HawkLock NATO Clamp & Included HawkLock NATO Rail, Ambidextrous Left/Right Mounting, 1.4″ Vertical Height Adjustment, 1/4″-20 Threads & Cold Shoe Mount

The SmallRig HawkLock H21 Quick Release Side Handle is an ergonomic, versatile camera rig handgrip engineered to improve handheld stability, balance, and control across mirrorless, DSLR, and compact cinema setups. Designed for fast, tool-free rigging, the handle attaches quickly to either the left or right side of a camera cage using its integrated HawkLock quick release NATO rail clamp paired with the included HawkLock NATO rail, which secures to any standard cage via integrated 1/4″-20 mounting screws.

To accommodate different camera bodies, cage dimensions, and rig balance points, the handle features a 1.4-inch vertical slide adjustment range, allowing operators to fine-tune the hand placement relative to the camera’s center of gravity. Constructed from durable CNC-machined aluminum alloy and composite materials, the handle provides a comfortable and secure grip for long shooting days. The top of the grip integrates multiple 1/4″-20 threaded accessory holes and a dedicated cold shoe mount, providing streamlined attachment points for compact on-camera LED fill lights, wireless microphone receivers, articulating magic arms, or field monitors.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Jason ★★★★★

The ergonomic grip feels secure even during long handheld shots, and the quick-release clamp saves me time when switching between rig setups. I’ve used it for both left and right mounting with no wobble.

Victoria ★★★★★

I love how the NATO clamp snaps on and off with zero fumbling, makes switching between handheld and tripod shots feel effortless. The ergonomic grip fits my hand perfectly even during long takes.

Julian H. ★★★★★

For run-and-gun shoots, the quick release NATO clamp lets me pop the handle off in seconds without loosening anything—huge time saver. Switching between left and right mounting is effortless, and the grip itself feels solid even with a heavier rig. Exactly what I needed for handheld stability.
