It can be quickly attached and detached by the quick release lever. Review: I bought this Stinger Top Handle along with my Nitze Cage for the A7SIII, and I am sure glad I did! I got the variant with the NATO rail, which makes it super quick to remove the handle when wanting to attach my camera to a gimbal. I've always been a gimbal-primary shooter, and getting a good cage setup has allowed me to achieve some excellent handheld footage. This top handle makes low angle shots a breeze to capture. The handle is super comfortable, even for my big hands. I was afraid it would not be a comfortable fit, but it's EXTREMELY comfortable. Nitze does appear to make a larger top handle if this is a primary concern for you. Another huge benefit of the handle is the VAST amount of 1/4" and 3/8" mounting holes, as well as Arri Style locating pin holes. I was able to find a great spot to mount my Ninja V monitor that kept the balance of the rig centered. The top handle also comes with a coldshoe adapter, which was an awesome surprise! The quick release lever is simple to release, but there are two push-down pins on the edge of the NATO rail to prevent you from accidentally releasing the quick release, and then the camera falling. These pins will hold the handle on until you push one down and slide the handle off in the same action. Top Handle Pros - NATO Rail configuration allows for super quick release, and is secure - Grip is much more secure to hold than standard round/square style cage handles - SO MANY 1/4 and 3/8" mounting points, plus locator pins - The coldshoe adapter is an excellent touch - Works great facing either direction Top Handle Cons The only con I could potentially find, was that a few of the 1/4" threaded holes were missing a bit of powder coating, and were shiny silver in small places. This is purely cosmetic, and does not affect functionality. It was like 2 holes out of the billion that are on the handle. In summary, If you are looking for a top handle that is ergonomic, comfortable, and has the ability to be removed super fast, then I HIGHLY recommend this Mini Stinger Top Handle from Nitze. It is WAY more comfortable than the traditional square/round top handles that SmallRig makes, and would make a great addition to any rig. This top handle will work with any cage on the market, so grab one, you won't regret it! Review: Out of all the handles I've tested, this one stands out as the clear winner. It feels exceptionally sturdy in the hands and includes a NATO rail and an Cold Shoe Adapter, adding to its versatility. With numerous mounts for other accessories, this handle is an excellent choice for your FX3, offering both durability and functionality to enhance your setup. ## Features - 【Built-in QR NATO Clamp】Nitze PA28M-AK Lil Stinger Handle features a built-in quick release NATO clamp on the bottom.
