Rotating Side Handle 5160

The SmallRig 5160 is an aluminum alloy side handle that clamps to NATO rails on camera cages using a locking knob. It weighs 9.1 oz (258 g) and rotates 360° with a one-touch mechanism for quick angle changes during handheld shooting. A silicone grip and 15 kg (33 lb) load capacity provide steady control while moving.

Built for cage-based rigs

Videographers who mount cages with NATO rails will find the clamp secure and the rotation smooth for run-and-gun work. The handle also adds 1/4"-20 locating holes and a cold shoe for accessories such as remote controllers (ID 3902), magic arms (ID 3873), monitor mounts (ID 2905B), microphones (ID 3487), video lights (ID 3286B) and the DJI Mic 2. Shooters without NATO rails on their cage or those needing a fixed top handle should look at other mounting options.

Sustained handheld use

The 258 g aluminum body keeps the rig light during long takes, while the silicone texture prevents slipping when hands get damp. The locking knob holds the chosen angle firmly even when the handle supports the full 15 kg rating, so the grip does not shift under the weight of a monitor or microphone over extended sessions.

Questions about this item

What cage or mounting plate do I need to attach the SmallRig 5160 side handle?

The handle clamps directly onto any cage or plate that has a NATO rail; a NATO rail is included in the box if your cage lacks one.

Will the 15 kg load capacity of the 5160 handle support my existing monitor arm or magic arm?

Yes — the handle’s 15 kg (33 lb) rating covers the combined weight of the camera, monitor mounts such as the 2905B, magic arms like the 3873, and other cold-shoe accessories.

How can I confirm the 360° rotation is operating smoothly after I mount the handle?

Unlock the knob, rotate the grip through a full 360° turn; it should move freely without binding, then lock firmly at any angle you choose.
