Best Top Handle

[Olivier Gresse]

Hi

I would like to know what is for you the best Top Handle for DSMC2 and specially for Epic-W?

I like "the Arri Top handle for dsmc2" but it doesn't seem to be very confortable and it's a little ugly.

Which ones are compatible with the wooden camera cable-less v-mount ?

The top handle from Red is very cool but too expensive.

And I'm a little skeptical with the Top Handle from wooden camera with the nato system.

Which one have you choosen for your Epic-w ?

Thanks

What about the trigger handle from WC?

You can also mount a rod block to it, as seen in the video.

DSMC2 UNIVERSAL HANDLE very affordable, and nice. Except for very heavy lenses that usually front heavy then you need the DSMC2 TOP HANDLE for "proper" grip

For the trigger handle, do I need to buy the Wooden Camera Top plate or it's not necessary and the trigger handle can be install on the body of the EPic-W?

I have this and love it.

Oliver, it works right on the top of the body or with any available top plate.

Is there anything to be concerned about with the nato system? I was thinking about getting their leather handle as it was cheap and big enough for a good grip.

The NATO rail has to mount too close to the monitor to function. If you don't mount your monitor on top of the camera, you should be fine.
But otherwise you'll have to mount it in reversebackwards, and even then it's too long and get's a little close to the screen for comfort.

I'm selling mine because I actually just went with the Tilta cage, version E, which is an incredibly good deal for $600 and includes a top handle with a record trigger.

I would take a strong look at this route option if you still need a baseplate and rod support. And if you don't already have a V-Lock IO expander or base expander module, verisions A and B seem like an incredible option, too.

But if you only need a top handle, the WC Trigger Handle seems like a good buy, especially since the tip can be removed if it gets in the way of tall batteries.

Couldn't find version "E" on the Tilta site. Any links?
