Review on πŸŽ₯ NICEYRIG 15mm Shoulder Rig Handle Kit with M6 Thread ARRI Rosette Mount Grips for DSLR Camera Cinema Camcorder - Enhance Your Heavier Rig! by David Jenkins

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Shoot with a shaky grip.

The handles are solid metal and appear very durable for use with heavy equipment. However, as another user noted, the base mount is attached to the rail mount with 4 tiny screws. These screws are the weakest link in the design. You can tighten the 5/8" thumbscrew as much as you like, but the female part will still move a little. Sometimes I have to remove the handle and tighten those screws to get good contact, but it doesn't last long. I've considered using Loctite or something similar to permanently fix the problem. So while it's great value for your rig, you end up paying. Nothing beats shooting with a wobbly grip.

Pros
  • Rosette (M6 thread diameter 31.8 mm) on the handle replaces the ARRI rosette. The length of the handle is 145 mm (5.7 inches).
Cons
  • No safety net
