Review on πŸ”§ Nitze Stinger Handle Universal Top Handle Grip with Quick-Release NATO Clamp - Model PA28-A by Chad Baio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect top grip for Z Cam E2 flagship cameras

I really like this top grip. This is a huge upgrade from the cheap version I used before! This from Nitze is shapely and ergonomic, so that it adapts perfectly to the human body. It feels great in the hand and I think it will really help me when I'm shooting on a long day if my hand cramps after long hands-on shooting etc. The center of gravity is far forward, which really helps balance the setup with heavy lenses up front. . but surprisingly many other manufacturers get even this simple part wrong. With this grip, my rig is easy to hold, even with or without a battery backup on the back (V-Mount). The nato clip is really strong and clicks into place without moving. I was surprised to see that the SmallRig NATO bar I had previously installed on my Nitze cage didn't seem to fit this clamp. But I really like the low profile NATO bar that comes with the grip and I still prefer the low profile of the rail that comes with it so all is good. I really like the range of professional mounting options. My monitor is attached to the Nitze monitor mount 3x 1/4 20s at the top of the handle, but I could try moving this forward/down or even try Nitze's low profile monitor mount just to get it perfectly matched. .This is the best top grip for the Z Cam E2 and any other rig you decide to attach it to. Nitze doesn't bother with this really handy design. It's already a cult hit online and I'm really surprised that I'm the first to write a review! Trust me you won't be disappointed!
