Premium Build - Carbon Fibre & Aluminium

The CH-5R combines the strength of aircraft-grade aluminium with a carbon fibre ergonomic grip, delivering a perfect balance of rigidity and comfort. The textured carbon surface improves grip security, while its contoured shape fits naturally into the hand for extended use.

360° Adjustable Rotation

Featuring an integrated rail clamp, the handle can rotate a full 360° for complete positioning flexibility. A simple press-and-turn lock mechanism makes it quick and easy to adjust the angle, then lock it firmly in place-ideal for switching between low-angle, upright, and creative shooting positions.

Hidden Tool & Mounting Options

For convenience, the CH-5R includes a hidden Allen key stored inside the handle, allowing quick adjustments without the need for extra tools. The top of the handle features multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting sockets, perfect for attaching essential accessories such as monitors, microphones, lights, or external recorders. A slot is also available to attach a hand strap for extra security during mobile shooting.

Quick Rail Mounting System

The included rail accessory ensures fast and secure mounting to compatible cages and rigs. This rail-based system allows for rapid attachment/detachment, letting you set up or break down your rig efficiently on set.
