SmallRig Mini Side Handle with NATO Clamp & NATO Rail
Ultracompact Camera Rig Grip – Quick Release NATO Clamp with Included Mini NATO Rail, Ambidextrous Left/Right Mounting, 1.2″ Vertical Height Adjustment, Silicone Grip, Cold Shoe & 22 lb Load Capacity

The SmallRig Mini Side Handle with NATO Clamp is an ultracompact, lightweight camera rig handgrip designed to improve handheld balance, enhance stability, and relieve wrist strain during extended shooting sessions. Engineered for mirrorless, DSLR, and compact cinema setups, the handle features a reversible ambidextrous mounting design that allows operators to easily configure it for either left- or right-handed use. The contoured grip features an ergonomic silicone lining to ensure a secure, comfortable hold in any shooting environment.

The handle mounts swiftly onto compatible camera cages using its integrated quick-release NATO clamp. For cages lacking a built-in NATO rail, the kit includes a compact NATO rail that attaches securely using two standard 1/4″-20 screws spaced 0.7 inches apart. A 1.2-inch vertical slide adjustment range enables precise positioning to align with your camera setup’s center of gravity. Constructed from durable, high-strength aluminum alloy, this ultralight grip weighs only 4.8 ounces while safely supporting heavy rig payloads up to 22 pounds. The top surface integrates a 1/4″-20 threaded mounting socket and a cold shoe mount, providing streamlined attachment points for articulating magic arms, compact LED video lights, wireless microphone receivers, or monitors.

Timothy W. ★★★★★

I was worried the quick-release clamp would feel flimsy, but it locks onto my rig solidly with no wobble at all. Swapping it from left to right side takes just seconds, which saves me a ton of time on set.

Matthew J. ★★★★★

The 1.2-inch vertical height is perfect for keeping my hand at a comfortable angle during long shoots, and the quick-release clamp makes swapping between handheld and tripod setups effortless. I've been using it ambidextrously on both sides of my rig and it hasn't loosened a bit.

Joshua O. ★★★★★

The clamp locks onto the rail with a satisfying click, and the 1.2-inch height gives my rig just enough clearance for comfortable handheld work. I've tried other handles that wobble, but this one stays rock solid even with a heavier lens attached.
