Ergonomic Quick Release Camera Rig Grip – HawkLock NATO Clamp & Included NATO Rail, Ambidextrous Left/Right Mounting, 1.7″ Vertical Height Adjustment, 1/4″-20 Threads, Cold Shoe Mount & 22 lb Load Capacity

The SmallRig HawkLock H21 Side Handle with NATO Clamp is an ergonomic, heavy-duty camera rig handgrip engineered to enhance stability, balance, and operating comfort across mirrorless, DSLR, and compact cinema setups. Designed for seamless rig customization, the handle features an ambidextrous reversible bracket that mounts quickly to either the left or right side of a camera cage using its integrated HawkLock quick release NATO clamp connector and the included HawkLock NATO rail.

To accommodate different camera cage heights, hand sizes, and rig center-of-gravity setups, the handle provides a 1.7-inch vertical slide adjustment range for optimal handheld balance. Built from durable CNC-machined aluminum alloy and composite materials, the chassis comfortably supports rig payloads weighing up to 22 pounds. The top and frame of the grip feature multiple 1/4″-20 threaded accessory sockets and a dedicated cold shoe mount, allowing operators to easily attach articulating magic arms, compact on-camera LED fill lights, wireless microphone receivers, or monitors.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Nicholas ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about the 1.7-inch height adjustment being enough, but it actually makes dialing in comfort super easy. The quick-release NATO clamp is smooth and locks tight, no wobble at all during handheld shooting.

Claire ★★★★★

Switching it to the left side took just seconds with the NATO clamp, and the grip feels solid even with a heavier lens. The vertical height adjustment is perfect for balancing the rig without needing extra tools.

Amelia ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the NATO clamp release is—it clicks into place with no wobble at all. The vertical height adjustment makes it easy to get the perfect grip angle for my shoulder rig setup.
