Review on πŸŽ₯ SmallRig Adjustable Top Handle Grip with Locating Point for Arri, Camera Handle with Mounting Points & Shoe Mount for Video Camera Cages, LED Lights, Microphones - Model 1984 by Richard Basque

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Robust, reliable and damn important. Except.

I know it's unfair to say "This product isn't for this use case, which isn't for most people," but I'm going to do it anyway because it matters. i am a photographer This means I sometimes have to use a studio controller for the lighting. And that means I need this controller. Will you fit this one with at least an A7R4 cage? Do not let that happen. And because the Cage A7R4 doesn't have enough proper mounting points, I can't just push it aside for editing. So let's talk about how to make it better. 1. Build a system that accommodates some of the largest fully integrated flash controllers on the market such as: B. the Flashpoint R2 system. You need to get a little creative with the bar. Or 2: Make one that you can rotate 90 degrees. Serious. To be able to just take the handle and rotate it 90 degrees so I can set it up as a side handle would be GREAT. Heck, even if you made it modular so you could buy the crank yourself and then buy the wired roller shutter add-on. And I know you have other handles, but they are too big and expensive (the handle shouldn't cost more than a cage). It's the right price, just not the right feature set or the right fit. You are almost there.

Pros
  • TOP HANDLE
