FAQs
How does the start/stop trigger connect to the camera?
The handle uses a USB-C output and the supplied cables, each tailored to a different camera system. The right-angle connector seats neatly in the handle, and the recessed port reduces the chance of accidental unplugging during a take.
Can the handle be used on both sides of the cage?
Yes. The Arca-type clamp works on either the left or right side, and the 1.4-inch vertical adjustment helps you place the handle where your wrist feels most comfortable.
Is the cold shoe strong enough for audio gear?
The cold shoe, built into the top plate, securely holds lightweight microphones or wireless receivers, keeping accessories close and tidy.
Is the grip suitable for longer handheld sessions?
The silicone surface adds a bit of cushioning and improves traction, so it feels stable even when your hand gets warm. The aluminium frame keeps the weight low without feeling hollow.
Which cameras can use the trigger function?
Any supported Sony, Canon, Panasonic or FUJIFILM body that accepts start/stop control via the included cables. The handle still works as a standard side grip even if your body doesn’t support electronic triggering.
