The Dovetail Camera Plate features a long slot along its centre that lets you secure it to the camera with multiple screws (included), which can be set up to 2.8" (70mm) apart. It also has a non-slip rubber surface that will prevent the camera from twisting.

A rotating knob on top allows the handle to be adjusted sideways or reversed to the rear by a rosette-like mechanism.

NATO Quick Release

The handle features an integrated NATO rail clamp that lets you slide onto any NATO compatible rail, not just the included one.

Rosette Based Rotating Grip

The handle position can be adjusted by loosening the top screw, rotating it into the desired position, and then re-tightening the top screw. This gives you a level of versatility you typically don't find in top handles.

Sideways 15mm Rod Clamp

The side rod opening lets you attach a 15mm rod perpendicular to your camera, great for attaching an optional monitor/EVF support bracket such as Wooden Camera's UVF Mount v2. A thumbscrew secures the rod in place.

A forward-facing 15mm rod opening and 19mm rear rod opening are available for attaching optional single rods, which can be used for mounting accessories such as focus motors. A pair of 1/4"-20 set screws are included to secure the rods in place via the threaded holes along the sides of the grip area.

Integrated Cold Shoe

A cold shoe built into the top of the handle lets you add on-camera lights, microphone shock mounts, or other shoe mount accessories.
