FAQs

What’s the benefit of a NATO clamp over a cold shoe mount?

The NATO clamp provides faster and more secure mounting, especially on cages with integrated NATO rails. It allows tool-free, slide-in installation and removal.

Is this handle compatible with all NATO rail systems?

Yes. It’s designed to work with standard NATO rails, and includes its own rail that can be mounted to cages using two 1/4"-20 screws if your rig doesn’t already have one.

What payload can it support?

This version supports up to 15 kg, making it suitable for larger cinema cameras and fully rigged mirrorless systems.

Does it include rotation or controls?

No. This is a fixed-position handle with no built-in electronic controls or rotation mechanism. It’s optimised for strength and stability.
