SmallRig Ultralight Top Handle with NATO Clamp
Lightweight Camera Rig Top Handle – Quick Release NATO Rail Clamp, Side-to-Side Balancing Adjustment, Dual Cold Shoe Mounts, ARRI-Style 3/8″-16 Anti-Twist Thread, Anti-Slip Grip & 22 lb Load Capacity

The SmallRig Ultralight Top Handle with NATO Clamp is a compact, high-strength carrying and stabilization grip designed for mirrorless, DSLR, and cinema camera cages equipped with a standard NATO rail. Engineered to streamline low-angle tracking shots, dynamic handheld camera movements, and general rig transport, the handle quickly slides onto any standard NATO rail and can be adjusted side to side to dial in optimal center-of-gravity balance for various camera and lens configurations.

Constructed from premium CNC-machined aluminum alloy, the handle weighs a mere 4.2 ounces (120 g) while supporting heavy rig setups and accessories weighing up to 22 pounds. The grip section features an ergonomic anti-slip, anti-freeze lining to provide a secure and comfortable hold in challenging weather conditions and extended handheld shooting environments. For expanded rigging capability, the handle integrates dual cold shoe mounts (front and rear) for mounting wireless microphone receivers or on-camera LED lights, along with a front-facing 3/8″-16 ARRI-style anti-twist locating thread for attaching monitor mounts, magic arms, or extension accessories.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Samuel ★★★★★

Switching setups is a breeze now thanks to the quick-release NATO rail clamp. The dual cold shoe mounts give me plenty of room for a monitor and a mic without things getting crowded.

Sebastian ★★★★★

The NATO clamp locks onto my cage so quickly I can switch between handheld and tripod in seconds. I love being able to slide the handle side to side for perfect balance with my heavier lens.

Scarlett K. ★★★★★

The dual cold shoe mounts are a lifesaver for my wireless mic and monitor at the same time, and the anti-twist 3/8″ screw keeps everything rock solid. It's barely there weight-wise, but the NATO clamp clicks on and off in seconds when I need to switch setups.
