The CAMVATE Rotating Top Handle with NATO Rail can be rotated into a sideways position by loosening the red knob on top and changing the orientation. This top handle is designed to attach by quick release to an included 2.4" short NATO rail, which can be mounted on cages and other supports via two 1/4"-20 screws. The NATO rail has a slotted design that lets you space the 1/4"-20 screws as needed to match your cage. The top handle provides a sideways 15mm rod port, two integrated shoe mounts on top, and 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads. Attaching an optional short 15mm rod to the sideways port allows you to mount a monitor, EVF, or other accessory, while the two shoe mounts can be used for lights and mics.
