Review on SmallRig Top NATO Handle with Quick Release Rail Handgrip - 2084: Rubber for DSLR Camera Cage by John Graves

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well with Ronin S, but.

After doing some research on adding a two-handed gear to my Ronin S for added stability, I decided to use it because it wasn't too bulky and could be easily taken apart. This greatly improves the stability of the stabilizer, but there is an issue that SmallRig would like to fix (or provide a hardware upgrade). The gimbal cannot move left or right beyond the thumbscrew because the lower stabilizer arm touches the thumbscrew. Loosening the thumbscrew and removing the washer will solve the problem. As if. The clamp ring needs to be very tight as the gap is almost literally 1/2mm so any force will result in the thumbscrew hitting the underside of the hanger. The knurled screw was 2-3 mm shorter than the current one. This would solve the problem. I also really like the pen, its versatility and how little space it takes up in my bag.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Disappear
