SmallRig Side Handle with NATO Clamp & NATO Rail
Ergonomic Camera Rig Handgrip – Quick Release NATO Clamp with Included Mini NATO Rail, Ambidextrous Left/Right Mounting, 1.4″ Vertical Height Adjustment, Silicone Grip, Cold Shoe & 22 lb Load Capacity

The SmallRig Side Handle with NATO Clamp & NATO Rail is a compact, ergonomic camera rig grip designed to optimize handheld balance, enhance stability, and reduce wrist fatigue 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 a non-slip silicone lining for a secure, comfortable hold even in demanding production environments.

The handle attaches swiftly to compatible camera cages using its integrated quick-release NATO clamp. For rigs lacking a native NATO rail, the kit includes a compact NATO rail that mounts onto cages via standard 1/4″-20 screws spaced 0.7 inches apart. A 1.4-inch vertical slide adjustment range enables precise positioning to align with the camera’s center of gravity. Constructed from lightweight, durable aluminum alloy, the grip supports rig payloads weighing up to 22 pounds. The top surface integrates multiple 1/4″-20 threaded accessory sockets and a cold shoe mount for attaching magic arms, compact LED video lights, wireless microphone receivers, or monitors, while dedicated strap slots accommodate optional wrist or hand straps for enhanced operating security.

Joseph K. ★★★★★

Swapping the handle from left to right takes seconds thanks to the NATO clamp, and the included rail made mounting it to my cage effortless. The grip is comfortable even during longer shoots.

Stella K. ★★★★★

The height adjustment is the standout for me—dialing in that 1.4-inch range let me find the perfect balance for run-and-gun shooting. The ambidextrous setup also means I can flip it to my left side in seconds without breaking my flow.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The quick-release NATO clamp makes swapping the handle between rigs effortless, and the 1.4-inch vertical adjustment lets me dial in the perfect grip height. It feels solidly built and locks up tight with zero wobble during handheld shooting.
