SmallRigSide Handle for Phone Cage Smartphone Video Rig Cage for iPhone cage for Samsung Cage Universal Phone Cage Aluminum with Cold Shoe and 1/4 Threads - HSS2424

These are perfect with the addition the ability to add on other peripherals

I bought two of these handles for my Smallrig iPhone Universal cage. They look good, feel good, and function well. The handles are comfortable in my hands (I wear a medium glove) and I like their weight, deliberately choosing these over Smallrig's lighter handles as an aid to stability. The rig provides substantially better video follows and pans and helps with stills as well.Changing a handle to mirror the setup on the opposite side of the case is simple, but fussy. Only two screws are involved, but they are in the handle's recess and lining them up with the part that attaches the handle to the cage is somewhat frustrating. The handles come with the required allen wrench held in the bottom of the handle with magnets. The wrench seems secure, but I may put a piece of tape on it for insurance.The thumbwheel at the cage connection point feels, when hand tightened, that it would be sufficiently tight, but it leaves a bit of wiggle. The solution is to pass the allen wrench though the holes in the thumbwheel and use that leverage to tighten the screw just a bit more, after which the handle is on rock solid.These handles are perfect for a permanent connection. If you plan to take them on and off frequently, I would suggest a handle with a NATO clamp. That speed and convenience, however, will cost you quite a bit more.One last thing: I waffled over getting one vs two handles, thinking that I would always use the left handle but leave my right hand free to operate the camera app controls (Filmic, in this case), and just prop the right hand side of the cage with my hand when needed. The first few minutes use and experimentation , however, convinced me that two handles is a superior solution, certainly from a stability standpoint.Great quality, securely packaged.

SmallRig is a high-quality tech solution. They always pack professionally for shipping.

I cannot believe the quality of these handles they are so well made out of black anodized aluminum with a beautiful grip made out of rubber it has your quarter 20 screws on it and it has a flash holder on it and plus the fact that the it's ambidextrous you could attach it to either side great great product and tough a value for the money I use them on every camera I own from a red hydrogen cell phone to my big Sony f-35 small rig is the way to go.

Pros:Solid constructionNice gripSecure attachment with included hex wrenchCons:Over priced for what it doesShould allow you to adjust the angle of the handleSummary:This is a very solid grip that will add some heft to your iPhone in its cage. The added weight and leverage added by the grip helps keep the shot steady and secure.
